My earlier reply was made with the assumption that the two stories were, in your words, "extremely similar." To me, that entails not just major plot points being similar, but also that the two stories have similar tones, similar character motivations, similar minor plot points, etc. That is, I had assumed that the two stories were similar enough that someone reading them would think that one story was, in fact, plagiarized from the other. Of course, if the stories aren't really extremely similar (as I interpreted the phrase), then I would agree with the other FoLCs who replied to your earlier query, that you should post your story.
It really all depends on just how similar the two stories are.
