stunt_muppet at 07:13pm on 06/04/2011 under big huge crazy au, epic fail, homework-fleeing ten-minute lj break, writingYou think you've come up with a fun, interesting, and meaty plotline for your Big Huge Crazy AU...
...and it turns out that a similar plotline already cropped up in an RP several months ago. Which means it's probably not as novel/interesting as you think it is.
FFFFFFffffff this is why I at least need to start keeping track of RPs, or at least bigger ones like Wake and CnC - so I don't end up looking like I'm ripping people off. I mean it's not too similar, but do I need to ask for credit or put an inspiration source in the author's notes or what?
Also I need to be addressing these envelopes why am I not doing that right now. Or at least writing if I'm not going to do that. Or any other of the dozen and a half things I've got to do.
