Starting to Wonder About Everyone Here Being Psychic Genii
Friday, December 9, 2005 7:39 AM
It's funny....been trolling this site since I came across it this past summer, though only officially joined up recently (shameful, I know
). I am still consistanly amazed at all the shiny stuff we few, the proud, the Browncoats manage to produce on a fairly regular basis. 
But that's where my problem sets in: you guys and gals are just too gorram psychic for your own good!
Now, before everyone starts wondering about what the diyu I am rambling about, please understand that my issue comes more from personal frustration than true ire at everyone. The isssue is this: every time I think up a cool idea to throw down in a fanfic, I either discover it has been done either exactly the way I imagined it or pretty close awhile ago in a fanfic...or, as with Kaynara's Bedlam series, have just seen the wonderful idea I wanted to try out done quite well just recently.
I guess my frustration comes from the fact that I would feel like a petty thief if I wrote something that had elements seeming taken from other members' fanfics (even though that would be untrue). All these amazing tales make me wanna add to them real badly like, but...I don't wanna seem like I am trying to gain something through theiving someone else's stuff.
Anybody ever have these kinds of thoughts?
