    How many have people out ther come up this wonderful and unique
story or plot point, and later found out that, while for you it's new,
elsewhere it's been done to death?

You know what?  I've been thinking...with the numerous fics I've
written...and with the little fics I read every now and then, I can't
think of one that...been done to death, as you said.  Many of those that
reply to me tells me that the idea/plot I came up was never used
before...funny though, with the tons of R1/2 fics out there...

I guess the closest that was any similar to someone else's fic is my "In
My Life" series.  Its often been compared to Ranma Girls, I suppose it
does, but...anyway.

I think its more important to write your own way, adding your own special
touches in Humor, Drama, or Darkness, (gulp Lemon too), then you really
don't have to worry about being compared to another fic.
