A lot of times I find myself making up a fantasy world and then later will engage in a famous fantasy series and realiz my idea is just the same as the much more famous one?
I don’t think I could possibly have copied seeing as I came up with the idea independently before ever reading or watching the series but it seems crazy and then I would come across as unoriginal.
For example, I came up with ideas of elemental clans that make up a fantasy world—only a couple of years later to realize that’s the plot of avatar the last airbender. And another trope is the targaryens with silver hair and purple eyes is similar to a character I independently made up too.
It just seems crazy. Does this happen to anyone else?
