That would explain why I didn't recognize anything familiar when I went and skimmed the fic (well, the first couple bits of it - it was deleted before I got a chance to read through the whole thing). If the fic that was plagarized was posted on the kink meme rather than to the c_i comm, I might not have read it.
I'm glad the mod and both authors decided to keep everything anonymous. If user names were attached, the wank would probably continue on for ages rather than dying out in a couple of days, as I suspect (well, hope) it will. With no names attached, nobody will feel compelled to jump in and defend their friend/attack on behalf of their friend, and I suspect the author of the copied fill wouldn't have reacted nearly as well if she'd been posting un-anon with her reputation on the line (offering to take down the fic pretty much without protest rather than throwing a drama-fit of injured innocence and flouncing is practically a best-case scenario for people caught plagarizing).
