: Re: Any Technique to See if Your Idea is Original? I usually get quite a lot of ideas for stories, but every time I want to develop them into a full fledged story, I get paranoid about how

If it's original to you, it's original enough. Even if someone else coincidentally made something similar, you will still have your own twist on it enough that it will be yours entirely.

This is different from inventions, where the first person to conceive it is the person who gets credit for it. In writing, so long as you're not out-and-out copying from someone else, you're good to go.

Stop worrying so much and just write. Everything anyone could ever write is a copy of something, somewhere, that's already written. Just enjoy yourself and write for you.
