well it appears to be a short chaptered thing and i'm kinda eh bc it's not like i own the generic idea bc anyone is welcome to write the same type of story. and they did link people to my story as the inspiration
the creepy thing is that after the first chapter or so they said to read my story first to get the background info and now i'm just like...wut. they are kind of like using my au verse and doing a spin off. that's the best way to describe it. i'm not sure if i should bother to approach the author and be like hey, why didn't you ask first?? why link to my story saying you liked it and then write a spin off without getting my blessing :C
