I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that, or how the hell I'm supposed to react.
Pissed off. Bust them.

Imagine how satisfying it will be to turn them in.
No, the person who borrowed it is telling me, and asking me what I would like to do. High school student.
Which, well.
This is a very odd way to achieve validation.

Are you ready to be strong?
the person who borrowed it is telling me
Huh? Did they have a flash of conscience or what?

It's time to learn the hard lessons about plagerism.

I'm getting the pig!
Um... shouldn't the telling/asking happen *before* submitting the story? I'd want a cut of the prize money. A substantial cut.

As an academic who teaches, and who has never had a semester without a student "borrowing", I think that the student needs to come clean to the prize committee.
My Dean of Students has tried to convince me that students of today don't know they aren't supposed to cut and paste from the Internet, I should feel sorry for the poor ignorant students, and they should be forgiven. I am not a believer.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'd tell them they need to refuse the prize and withdraw from the workshop, and then you'll let it rest. Otherwise, you call the committee and I'll bet the consequences are a lot more far reaching.

As a student, I call bullshit on that. When I copy and paste from the internet, I know exactly what I'm doing.

High school students mellows me somewhat, but the appropriate time for them to mention this was before submitting the story.

David, you are a charming liar. I mean that in the best way.
Pfft. I don't have to lie about your smile. It's got 50,000 watts of power. Anyway, I'd much much rather have lunch with you.
DXM, looks like the Dodgers went with Grady Little.
I think the A's are getting Frank Thomas. Probably with an incentive laden contract to minimize losing him to injury.
