Okay, well I was thinking, as I often do . There are so many Tolkien and Rowling fantasy rip-offs out on the bookshelves nowadays, everyone wants the first to be second. Its really quite mind-boggling why anyone would want to do a nearly almost unoriginal book. But yet the bookshelves are flooded with stories that are so similar.
Its good to take advice from these well known and amazing authors, but I think a truly, good author is original and stands out, completely and utterly from the pack.
So my question is, since this is fiction discussion, what makes your story original? Is it your voice? Your characters? Your plot? Its a question I always ask myself, everytime I write a story. What is original about my story? And if I can't find something, then I force myself to think out of the box.
