All right, so, B&N directed me to their DMCA email address (DMCANOTICE@Barnesandnoble.com) to further the mission to get my stolen story taken down from their site. I emailed them, and went ahead and issued a DMCA notice to expedite matters. We'll see how long it takes to be removed and/or where it goes from here, but also thought peeps might be curious about the process of issuing a DMCA notice. LT3 has done this in the past to some piracy sites, and I expect B&N will be quicker about removing the stolen works than they were.
Basically you send them the following (I prefaced it by a nice opening asking them to please take it down and thanking them for their help, b/c I play nice at first).
