Q: Do you mind books with similar ideas to other books? Similar concepts, backgrounds, retellings or pulled-to-publish fanfic?
A: Sometimes I do, it depends, if its exactly the same then ...no, however if its just a similar concept but with differences, then I can enjoy them. Example : Lora Leigh Breed series compared to Laurann Dohner New Species. At first I didn't know if it was exactly the same or not, but as I progressed in the New Species series, I started to realize that there were some big differences that made it unique and wonderful. So I think there are times when it is acceptable.
Hopping through. I don't mind similarities in books as long as it has enough to distinguish it from anything else.

I agree with your answer. Similar concepts are okay since it's rare not to borrow from others' ideas.

Same! It really depends on the circumstances and WHAT is similiar. :)
ReplyDeleteAgree with Vonnie. Christmas themes rock! (Though I can't really see the font properly and had to edit your CSS via the F12 function on Chrome. But I think it's a problem only I have, because of my horrible eyesight. XD)

I think that there are only so many basic plots in the words, it's the way the characters behave and the particulars that made the difference.

I don't mind similar concepts as long as there is evidence of creativity and original thought. I love when authors take an "old" idea and make it feel new. Old follower.
