User blog comment:Skill Flea/Who Wrote The Russian Sleep Experiment?/@comment-213.120.234.122-20160217230541

Really interesting piece of investigation. Makes me wonder about the legality of Ms. Ice's adaptation given what a grey area this is in terms of intellectual property and the creative commons.

I actually did a little bit of digging myself, like you recommended. I found a blog post from August 2009 which talked about it, and in the comments someone claims to recall the original posting on 4chan, which was apparently anonymous. Here it is on the wayback machine (the original blog has been deleted)
