I am going to personally fuck that plagiarizer up. I don't even know if that is a word, but I will roam my high heel shoes down their throat. CONSIDER IT DONE
I probably don't have to tell you that I'm a big fan of your stories (I'm sure my over excited comments on them made you realize that.) I'm not on mibba much these days, mostly because after I got reported for the same reason - and not just one story but all my stories got reported - I sort of lost my keen on it. But, whenever I am on mibba, I stop by your profile to check if you've written something that could and would make my day better.
I did some research online, found and read the poem (I'm known as the "poetry hater" at my university, so needless to say the fact that your words were used in a poem irritated me even more!). I'm not going to tell you what you should or could do, perhaps you want to let it be, perhaps you want to take action. If you do decide to write to the magazine and report plagiarism, I just wanted to say that I'll be one of those who stand by you, support you and side with you if needed.
Sorry this comment went longer than I had planned, but I actually know how you feel because I've seen my creations (not only writing, but paintings too) being stolen and either put with another name or no name at all. It truly pisses me off.
If it makes you feel better, I think what 99.9% of your readers think: That you are an unbelievably talented writer. :)
I just read your profile about the plagiarism (I am a religious profile stalker lol) and it has pissed me off SOO much that someone would just steal your writing like that!! Especially, that one line because I know it was such a momentous part of WWB and it must have taken you a while to find the right words for it! I just found the poem online and I can't believe some some stupid talentless person had the nerve to submit that! UGHHH.
I seriously think we should get all of Mibba to comment on it and somehow take it down. But that's just my opinion. I really hope this clears up for you!!!
I'm so sorry! I can't imagine what it be like if that happened to me, though I never really post anything but still. I liked what city light; had going as an idea, you should really look into it. Anyways, your an [i]amazing[/i] writer, you can go really far, farther than any dinky poem I bet. :)
God, I can't even imagine how it would feel to know that someone took something YOU wrote and actually [i]published[/i] it. That's my worst fear. Even if it's something as small as a sentence, it's still yours. I'm sorry. D: Is there a publication date on the poem that could help you prove that it was you that wrote it? WWB has been written for a while. If it's just getting reported [i]now[/i], there's a good chance that the poem hasn't been published very long. I wouldn't think it has been anyway since they did take your line. I don't know. :/
I wouldn't expect you to be particularly happy about it but hopefully you're okay and that this doesn't discourage you from writing. :c
Your're seriously the best writer on mibba. I wish all authors would put as much effort into their stories as you do! It's so frustrating trying to find a well-written story. Please don't ever leave mibba! :D
What happened to that short story about the guy with a lot of tattoos that the girl had been in love with him and it turned out he was in love with her? You wrote it for someone that gave you a picture of two guys with a lot of tattoos....
Wow I have not been on here in forever! I was going through my computer the other day cleaning out old files and I found this banner I made for a story you had awhile ago...just thought I'd share it! :)

Hi, random commenter, but just wanted to say that I read your stories and wow I don't even know what to say about it (bee-awnd amazing, as my auntie would say xD). TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. Huge fan, huge fan
Emilaaaaaay, I was looking through your tumblr the other day and I saw you and your beautiful boyfriend and I literally screamed out loud. ARE YOU SERIOUS I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU. YOU DESERVE A BEAUTIFUL MAN. OH MY GAWD. YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL I JUST CANNOT EVEN. i love you <3
you probably heard this already, but dear lord towers by bon iver is definitely one of the most gorgeous songs i've heard in a while. it's so ironic because it's so pretty and folk-y and so is your tumblr and everything. i'm just rambling now. but i deffs think bon iver was lurking your tumbs (maybe even your mibba) before he named the song, haha.
