When Characters Collide

<< < (2/3) > >>

julilly:
You're right Julie they should be the same people but I mean the character is doing the same thing. Plotwise. Like I've stereotyped him or like I'm following some kind of plot grid from one story to the next lol

RokofAges75:
Ahh, I see.  It could still come down to style and genre, or maybe you are unknowingly recycling your own storylines LOL.  It's not a big deal either way; like Lore said, at least it's your own stuff you're "stealing," if that's the case. :)

Mariah:
Maybe with certain romance stories. A lot of the stuff I write tends to have a lot of angst in it so certain traits with main characters stay with you.

julilly:
It's most definitely not a romance. I guess I have created the stereotyped murder mystery Brian!

FrickingKaos:
I guess if you use the same type of character in all of your stories its not really plagiarism.... but I can see where it would bother you. I kind of like when writers are consistent but its refreshing when an author puts a new spin on one of the boys personality. However, using the same character over and over is kind of boring unless you're doing a series I suppose. If the story is not in a series and the plot seems similar once again, I would reccomend taking some time to look at where you are going with the plot and see if there is a way around it.
