I'm really not sure what to believe and not believe anymore.

Little pet peeve of mine... I mean, it's great if a writer can truly adapt a story, twist it's events, or pluck a character straight out of another's world - but fanfiction that literally copies the plot of another work, almost word-for-word, somehow makes me sad - y'all have worlds bursting with stories, dreams to be heard, and chosing to repeat some else's story takes away time to share your own. 
          
          Please, don't just rephrase some else's work in fanfiction. Make it your own.

A friend of mine got stung by a wasp yesterday, and all she had to rant to me today was how she could write a whole story revolving around a superhero getting mutilated by said wasp and having to feed on humans like a vampire. Really, @Crazyinloveforever?

@OrderlyCatastrophe my analogy is that if monkey see monkey do; then writer see, writer do 
            Thanks for the concern tho :)

I'm freaking out at Wattpad's new format - I do appreciate it's boldness, and the new slogan sounds epic, but... The hero-orange is scaring me. 
          
          Personally, I found home in the honey-orange of the old logo, and this new colour reminds me of those 'keep-out' caution tapes and plastic fences at ski mountains. It's rather alienating, to be honest. Thoughts?

@OrderlyCatastrophe haha I agree - it's a bit too sterile now, isn't it? The whites are glaring out at me now. Who knows, though - maybe it'll grow to look nice?
