This weeks question

Q: Do you mind books with similar ideas to other books? Similar concepts, backgrounds, retellings or pulled-to-publish fanfic?


A: Okay I'm in two minds about this question. On the one hand it's been said that there are only truly about 6 (or is it 8??) plots in the world, so we are bound to see things coming up again! Therefore in it inevitable that the same stuff will come around.

On the other hand I don't like it when a novel is a clear copy of another! There is a big difference between this and generalised. There is no reason for anyone to outright copy another book. It's coming up with the original take on something that makes the difference!

What do you think?

  1. I gave four answers for the four parts of this question. I think there is acceptable borrowing and unacceptable borrowing.

  3. I agree with your answer. No plot or story is truly unique, but books that are obviously copies of others? That's a no for me. New follower :)
