QUESTION: What would you do...?

What if you find out that your story coincidentally have the same plot as a movie? Would you still post it here?

I'm working on a new story for EXO, but I found out that it has the same plot as the movie I just finished watching. It's not really alike, but the idea of the story is the same.

I don't know if I should keep on writing it because it feels weird. What would you do if you found out your story sort of has the same plot as a popular movie?

Go for it! Write it and make it your own! See it as a challenge to better your writing.

I would still write and post it. Just say that it's similar to that movie so people don't *bleep* about it in the comments

I experience the same thing lol. I have this one story that i'm gonna write. It's all 100% from my own idea and imagination. But i watched this one english movie and it has the same plot! :O which i found really surprising bcause it's not a typical story / plot.
Well.. idc. i'm still gonna write it soon ^^

That comment below me ↓ I agree. ^^

But I would still write it.

My fic, "Love is Patient, Love is Kind," which is an EXO fic that stars Kai, and lots of romance and fluff and some angst and depressing themes, is actually my imagination, but others say that it is familiar, but that didn't stop me from updating~ ^^

I still update. I love my fic, and I'd never let comments stop me from what I enjoy doing the most, which is writing and expressing my feelings. :3
