One: Don't you HATE it when you think you've made up something original, only to coincidentally find something else that's exactly like it? D= Which applies to worlds, characters, plots... whatever.
Example, although I find this more funny than annoying... my character Xenec, from Spiral of Atlants... Well. I read Magic Knight Rayearth recently. ^_^; And... it turns out that the character Eagle Vision looks just like him, acts similarly, and even has Xenec's thing of passing out after using too much of his powers... Fortunately, there are enough differences between them, and different explanations of their personalities and weaknesses, that I think I can get away with it. ^^;
But srsly when Eagle showed up, I was all "ACK IT'S XENEC D="
Two: Don't you ALSO hate it when you read two books with incredibly suspicious similarities? You know... you like the first one when you read it, then the second one makes you go "waitaminute!" and then words like "plagiarism!" are running through your mind... I can't think of any examples right out, but there were definitely a few. D:
