So, here’s the thing. I write a lot of fanfiction, but I’ve also tried thinking of original books to write. But I have this issue where anything I do is inspired by someone else. And maybe it’s just a confidence problem, because I find it hard to be myself.
But where is the line between, inspiration and copyright? Like in fanfiction copyright is kinda thrown out the window because anything you do automatically belongs to the original fandom creators. But still I read all these great fanfics that people write and I’m like “I wanna use that for one of my stories” or “This is a really good idea but maybe we could do it this way or that way” or there are just some stories that go unfinished but I’d like to see it be finished. But then I worry about, what if one of the creators who used that idea comes back and is upset that I also happened to use that idea. I don’t know, this sounds stupid now that I’ve written it out. But does anyone else think about stuff like this? Or is it just me and the tendency to overthink everything?! Please let me know
