Heya. It's come to the staff's attention that your story, Boy Stuff, is pretty similar to Growth Spurts by CarcinoGeneticist, such that it seems to contain play-by-play copies of many scenes from Growth Spurts. While the writing doesn't appear to be directly copied from the original work, a lot of the scenes are essentially the same, and appear to proceed in basically the same ways, with many similar-looking sentences. In many cases, they look close enough to each other that side-by-side comparisons look very much like one was derived from the other.

This being the case, we've had to revoke the story in question. We don't mind using plot ideas from another story (CG doesn't own the idea of Discord genderswapping Applebloom, for instance), but the extent to which you've taken it here appears to have gone a bit too far to not be considered plagiarism of another author's work. It's a little bit like taking some information from Wikipedia, changing around and rewording some of the sentences and adding it into an essay--the final product may not necessarily look exactly like the source material, but it's still not your own original work.

We don't suspect any particular malicious intent from you here, so there's no penalty associated with this action beyond revoking the story. If you have any questions or comments regarding this decision, feel free to ask.

Have a nice day.
