Seconding what the first anon said!

I mean, I'm the first to admit that stuff I write is just a collision of different things that interest me, picked up from both fiction and non-fiction sources. It's not something I try to do, but I think it's something that happens when anyone writes anything, and the people who feel like you're borrowing too much from? Did the exact same thing, consciously or not. It's kind of how stories work. The components have been seen a million times before, but the way you approach them and put them together is all your own.

And I think that's how it should be. Fiction is one of the best ways to share the things that grab you with the world. It's like taking something cool, playing with it for a while, and then putting it back as something brand-new.
