I Am Not Writing Anymore

Damn! Have any of you ever written a story and then had the author of another story contact you and say, "You're story was really good even though it contained a great deal of similarities to mine>" and list the similarities. I never even read her fic until today. Are there similarities? About the same amount as the ones who present Olivia as being raped (or is it rapped?)and then screwing Elliot and having octuplets but not before catching 18 serial rapists/killers, incuding the one that raped her to begin with.

Yes, we both wrote about Alex sitting in the ambulance. I wrote it because they showed her there, looking over the scene and you just wondered what was going through her mind.

Yes, we both wrote about glass in the hair. I wrote what I actually experienced when I shattered a windshield with my head (WEAR SEATBELTS PEOPLE!!)

Yes, we both wrote them as having been broken up and gettng back together after the explosion...actually, I just wrote them as having sex...they may not get back together before Alex gets shot because now I'm not happy...

This was the fifth version of this story and now I feel like some nine-grade plagerist.

Aw fuck it! I'm gonna go write Olivia getting rapped into "Progression" and delete myself from that other group.

And now for something funny...

First, thanks for all the support. I seldom get angry enough to vent on this thing, but the back is acting up so I can't just throw the old lady down...

I heard this part of a statement by acting CIA Director John McLaughlin on the radio this morning:

“The intelligence community of that day was for counterterrorism, 300 people spread-eagled across a dike. We now have a hundred people who do nothing but watch-listing alone,” he said.

All I heard was "Spread-eagle across a dyke" and laughed my ass off. What's wrong with that?

Oh, never mind
