Does it still work if it is the author's original work, but not original to Steemit?

This is a hit and miss.

It depends on how popular the original work was. If it is rampant on the internet, then it will assume it is plagiarized. If it is a blog post with a few views it should still consider it original. The algorithm is not too punishing in terms of that.

Overall there is no good way for the bot to identify whether the author is the same person.
