funny

how fans of certain series can get almost exactly same ideas:
[someone's]
[mine]
and I found it only by accident because I'm following one of the groups it was posted in. maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe someone did use my picture as inspiration. I'm not going to bash this person nor do I want anyone to do so, because I have absolutely no reason to. it just seems funny^^;

similiaries crop up often. where they make me cry is when I see my novel idea, half done on my end, ends up on the shelf. I've had people ask me hey did you change your pen name. I thought I saw your book.

sadly no.

and I always did love that piece of art of yours

awww, that's the worst, I know>< and I'm sorry it had to happen to you>< unless you know the person who 'finished' your work, you can't exactly talk about stealing ideas or anything^^;

yeah especially when they're big name authors. I did have a vampire story published with the vampire named Vittorio. After Anne Rice's Vampire Vittorio I ended having to change it (his story is now up at dreamspinner press with his name as Arrigo)
