I was inspired! I was around 13, mid-2020, and I came across a Harry Potter fic that was just like the original movies, only with the reader as the Chosen One. I forgot the original author, it was something like @Hunter49? Don’t take my word for that, I could be off with the username, my memory’s pretty foggy. I’m pretty sure they deleted their account a while ago. I read through the whole fic (they only made it to second year), and because I was too impatient to wait for more chapters as they were taking quite a long time to update (I now understand why), I asked if I could write a story with a similar plot but obviously with different events. I didn’t want to entirely copy the story, I just got inspired and wanted to write a fic where the reader was the main character, like they did. They agreed ofc, and it seemed as soon as I started writing my fic, they sort of gave up on theirs. Over the span of the next couple years they deleted their fic, and then eventually their account
