Again, you're missing the point.

Elements and Base Plots existed long before Buffy did.

If you want to write a Buffy rip off where you change her name and personality, replace vampires with aliens, and expect to get paid, well that's shitty.

Something else entirely is to come up with your own character, your own elements (derivatives), your own take on a Base Plot... That's proper world building and acceptable.

Things can influence you, but something is to be influenced and another thing is to pretend you came up with something when all you did was change names.

It has been good. See you on next secret batch.

I'm not "missing your point," I'm disagreeing with it. Inspiration comes from whence it comes, and no one way is superior to any other way.

If you want to write a Buffy rip off where you change her name and personality, replace vampires with aliens, and expect to get paid, well that's shitty.

If I do that, it's not Buffy anymore. "Monster hunting" is the base plot, if you go far enough back, and why does it matter if my tall dark male alien hunter came from me going "Huh, Buffy is kind of neat, let me do this with that instead" or if it came from the "Monster hunter base plot"? That's not a simple name change, that's an entire world change.
