The world-building and characters were essentially taken from Lord of the Rings - and I haven't even read the books, just watched the movies! Some of my friends say the plot is drawn (or copied) from Star Wars, but I haven't seen the films, so I can't say for myself :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014303585424205259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532015723796255560.post-23459494200848906132012-11-12T00:53:04.869-05:002012-11-12T00:53:04.869-05:00Hey Jenn!

When it comes to similiar stories, I found that many people are actually actively searching for stores "like [title]". It makes sense to me and as long as those books aren't all the same, I don't care too much if some elements are similiar. And with fanfiction.. I do love fanfiction, but I don't feel like it's so great to make money by publishing a story that is based on already established characters and worldbuilding. Even AU-fanficions.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198314178150554485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532015723796255560.post-1853207184837825282012-11-09T01:20:32.106-05:002012-11-09T01:20:32.106-05:00You make great points about fanfics.
