Someone just accused me of stealing a piece of art (my one Yu Yu Hakusho fanart as a matter of fact). What's the protocol when someone just drops a bomb like that in the comments? Is hiding the comment a good idea or a bad idea?

I checked to see if I still had the original sketch and ink, I do, so if they actually reported it I have something to respond with other than a PSP file with my coloring work.

I would write to the admin for your area where the art was submitted, and ask them, stating you can't find anything in the FAQ for this. The closest is: http://help.deviantart.com/238/

If you didn't trace the pic you have nothing to apologize or hide for. Seriously, the pose is fun but it's not so original that there's no way it could have been done by several unconnected people. Don't hide the comment, tho, it might be seen as an admission of guilt.

What did you use as reference? Did you use anything at all? If so, something like "I drew this pic based on my own imagination / some photograph that I found at X, thank you very much." might work. Then personally I'd tell her to find some goddamn proof before she starts flinging accusations. It's your reputation as an artist she's threatening to ruin just from some pic she saw years ago and might be misremembering. There's no copyright on that goddamn pause, it's really not THAT original.
