What stories and author are we talking about? I'm lost

My apologies, love. My words came out in a jumble. Let me start again: I'm sorry I miss the first part, that's what confused me. I thank you for the clarification because I had no idea what was going on. It's a shame and very disrespectful for someone to have stolen or copied your creative work. As an author (amateur or professional) it hurts to see someone take credit for something amazing that you've put so much time and effort in. In that aspect I totally understand. As for the other part I didn't mean to put "was", I meant to put "IS" one of my favorite stories. It got me interested in writing my own KevEdd story (my own worst enemy). Now that I know who to give props to (I get to follow you instead). Once again, sorry this has happened to you <3 Hopefully I have cleared up my misinterpretation : )

Your phrasing is...a little odd?  I don't understand what you mean when you say "it's a shame" because the story "was one of your favorites". Is it not your favorite anymore, now that you know who actually created it? Is it somehow less-worthy of admiration because you're seeing it in it's true form, in a place it's creator wanted it shown? I'd think it would be better, knowing who it came from, so you can give them your appreciation directly...
            
            Maybe I'm just misunderstanding, or being sensitive because my work was stolen and held hostage without my knowledge for over two years and someone else got all of the credit and love and appreciation for it that should have gone to me. It's not a pleasant thing to be dealing with, having been stolen from; having been violated this way. I'm still trying to figure out how to handle it. Whatever you meant, I do hope you still enjoy the work, in its original form, the way it was meant to be read. That's all I ever wanted when I created it - for people to take some joy in it.

Oh, not at all. Thank you for the clarification. It's a shame though. It was one of my favorite stories. Now I get to follow you instead. Thanks for the update, love. And sorry this has happened to you ; (

Can you send the link again please

@SammyJoe55 Absolutely! So, my original fic - "Am I More Than You Bargained For Yet?" (what she called Kevxedd) - can be found here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/868578/chapters/1667287
            
            Also, my pre-reader recently discovered that another of this thief's stories - Surprise? - is stolen as well! The original for that - "An Edd of many surprises" by nightcrawler554 - can be found here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/2125416/chapters/4639002  She hasn't taken that one down yet, so you can do a side-by-side comparison and see the plagiarism in action.
            
            Also, on my tumblr, I'll be posting some side-by-side screenshots of "her" work and mine, since she took down her version of my fic, as proof of her thievery. My tumblr can be found here if you want to watch for that: http://everything-a-wolf-could-want.tumblr.com/
