So Frustrated

I spent almost two weeks working on my Noir fic and then yesterday somebody posted one that had such a similar plot to mine that it was like she was in my head the entire time I was writing it.  Only I didn't see it until today.  It is so frustrating.  I've been trying to rework it so that it is different enough to not sound like the same story written from a different character's view point, but I'm having a hard time.  There's just not enough time left to do it.  I sitll plan to finish it but I don't think it will be in time for the challenge deadline which is like...four hours away.  I'd probably have better luck writing a new one from scratch at this point.
