Hi,
well if it is unknowingly and the moderators are informed then they will get into contact with you and tell you the same, that is that your story is similar to another story so please revise your writing.
I can understand your concern, this is quite natural especially since there are so many stories published on IF and many are very similar in themes. What I do and I have seen many others do so as well is to keep a note at the beginning of the story, saying that no plagarizing is intended and if someone feels that your work is the copy/similar to their story they should contact you first.
That tells people that you did not copy willingly and are ready to accept your mistake if it is commited unknowingly.
In general, plagarizing is punished harshly at IF. Reason is continuous direct copying which is always bad for the original writer. But at the same time the moderators will always give you a chance so don't worry if it happens unknowingly.
All the best for your story then
Mina
