You! Out of my fandom!

Noelle-chan, the fan artist, sent me a link yesterday to a story on FFN. "You have to see this," she said. I clicked.
It was a Mary Sue. Not that unusual, of course.
It was an LXG Mary Sue. Kind of expected that.
It was an LXG Mary Sue who looks like a blatant ripoff of my original character. THAT gets me steamed.
Her name is Marie-Elizabeth Quartermain (not Quatermain; the author is apparently unaware of the difference). I've sent her over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
marysues for some sporking fun. If you'd care to see what they think, the report is here.
I'm much less annoyed now than I was, but gah! The irritation! And I don't think this author ever read my story, I think it's a weird coincidence; but there are some similiarities between her Marie-Elizabeth and my Elizabeth that just set my teeth on edge. Not enough to make me think it really was a copycat, just enough to agitate me.
