The first thing is that it's good she's been so honest with you. She could have pulled a Wolfie and denied the whole thing, or accused you of stealing. :/ This in mind, she'd probably be willing to compromise with you.

Just ask her to give you credit and link to your story, or at least provide your ff.net ID. This way (you don't have to mention this part,) people will read both of them and they'll see just how much she "borrowed" from you. (This has the added benefit of giving you more exposure, too.)

And if she says no, you always have her email telling you that she "borrowed" fro you. ^_^ (You did keep the email, right?)

Let me know how it goes!
