I couldn't help but notice that your blog post on the SA website about Shantae vs. Midna (http://screwattack.roosterteeth.com/post/51263412 ) is strikingly similar to my version of said battle here, almost a word-for-word replica in terms of the fight. The setting, the premise, the order of attacks, the finish, the results order, the end pun. I could go on in honesty, but I think you get the point.

Normally, I'd only be slightly offput by this, but the fact that you tried to go ahead and say that YOU did the research and YOU wrote the fight when it's clearly a bare-bones copy of my work is what really sets me off here. This comes across as blatant plaigarism to me, especially considering the facts that:

1. You commented on my version of the battle after its completion in November of 2015, meaning you knew of its existance

and 2. Your version was uploaded to SA's website in March of 2016, which leaves plenty of time for you to simply have copied and pasted my work and gone on to add a few tweaks to it. This is pretty damning in terms of proof.

I'm quite angry because of this, but I'm trying my best to remain calm at the present time. I ask you to either remove the post or simply upload a post aknowledging this, as I'd like to be recieving the credit for the work I put into a fight.

Hey there, Galactic Attorney. I personally apologize that it took me eons to respond to this message and I am also sorry that I infringed on your work without giving you credit for what I posted. Normally I would proceed to fix this by adding in the part where you are the original writer, but I am going to just erase it entirely as I am personally embarrassed by my lack of tact by not asking you first on trying to spread your work.

Once again, I apologize for doing such a thing and that it took me this long to respond back to you. I hope this doesn't make us enemies and we can push onwards from this.
