Okay, I kind of need you guys to give me your imput on this matter.
Now, here's the problem: I've been having this really good idea for a story floating around in my mind for a while. It might sound a bit cliche'd, but it was an idea of making a story where XR turns human somehow and has to cope with the pros and cons of his situation. Then I go to fanfiction.net the other day, only to find a XR story entitled, "Some Stupid Wish", where XR turns human.
Someone beat me to it.
But I read the story, and I realize that this one was quite different from my version. This story focuses mainly on Marred, but my story was going to focus on the humorous aspects of XR's situation. My story was going to handle the situation kind of the way it would be handled on the show, fairly lightheartedly.
Now I have a question for you guys. I really want to write my XR story that I've thought of, (if I did it would be later, and I'd probably write a different BLoSC story before it, just so I could get used to the writing style) but the thing is, I don't want to copy the story that I saw.
In a way, it wouldn't, because I did have the idea before I even read the other story, and my story would be completely different. Also, I noticed that the person who wrote "Some Stupid Wish" hasn't updated it in quite a while.
So what do you guys think? Should I write my story, or should I not? I really don't want anyone to think I'm copying, but I would really, really love to write the story. So what do you think?
