LOL, well of course.

It sounds to me like you need a lawyer or lawyer friend. I'd talk to your mentor in particular. I know that copyright holders are frequently almost overreactive to perceived breaches of copyright to ensure that they maintain ownership, but I wouldn't have the foggiest idea the right course to take here.

So good luck and all that

ETA: I'm boycotting it too!

LOL thanks! The thing I didn't mention above is that he is in an MFA program. I'd hate for him to have accusations of plagiarism in his final semester. No I wouldn't.

Yeah.... I think you're right. Honestly, I am truly not "that guy" when it comes to copyright. I generally accept that some stories will just plain be similar, and I won't be the only person to write stories about black gays pledging frats.

The part which bothers me most is that it so obviously seems like this guy bit off my work -- my campus was also Team Senusret I for YEARS. And we have 70 facebook friends in common. If this guy went to ANY OTHER COLLEGE, I wouldn't even be concerned.

C'mon, son.
