WHY?????? I LOVE SEEING WHO MADE IT!
I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-
like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?
So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?
But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.
It's MY URL.
IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.
THE ONE *I WROTE*.
In *2013*.
And FORGOT ABOUT
BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING
And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like
IT WAS ALL GOOD?
IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??
Hello, this is my favorite word "pneumonultramicroscopicsilicovolanoconiosis"
The second longest word in the English dictionary
OTHER THAN TO MAKE PEOPLE HATE THIS WORD FOR ITS POPULARITY
Me: I DIDN'T DO IT..... I THINK!
The hero, normally jovial and humorous in their interactions, steps into a watering hole for villains, shaking with rage, tears running down their face, and with as much patience and calm as they can muster, simply asks "Who did it?"

Sign your art.... but hide your sign IN the art!! Only people who look closely well see it and you can prove it's yours too if someone tries to steal it!!1
I should really start signing my art but it's so funny seeing it out in the wild and seeing people question its origins
Me in a Gru costume: And tonight... we steal.... THE MOON!!! Little kids dressed up as minions:*cheering loudly*
Today there is a solar eclipse set to cover the sun with 100% totality for a duration of 4 minutes, 28 seconds. However as time passes, the eclipse continues for 5 minutes, then 7, then 10. Half an hour passes but the moon has not moved and Earth remains in darkness
Me: *isekais myself into the world they're in* BITCH WHERE ARE YOU! I'VE BEEN PAYING ALL YOUR BILLS AND NOW I NEED TO BE PAID BACK WITH INTEREST!!!!!
Someone close to you has gone missing for months, and you've just learned that they were Isekai'd away to a fantasy world, and you are horrified to discovered how quickly they've moved on from their old life and you in its entirety.
I actually do know a LOT about Pokemon
You are a veterinary student and you have recently taken in a weird old man claiming to be a scientist from another world studying animals he calls “pokémon”. You don’t know much about pokémon, but this supposed “professor” clearly does not know how to treat animals properly.
I have no fucking clue how screwed am I. Look at it.
Not compared to the life spans elves have in "Keeper of the Lost Cities" they aren't
if you're 30 then you are NOT old. I cannot stress this enough. you're probably less than a third of the way through life. life is long as fuck you have so much time here
My mom: What do you have there.... Me next to a new born dragon that's almost as tall as me: *sipping a smoothie* A smoothie.
