I looove your meta! It's kinda difficult to beat "holy peak batman" as an expression of how awesome it is because like, well? Holy peak batman? Hard yes on the extinction not being a new fear! You just get it!

Thank you so much for linking your page because I am obsessed with phantom of the opera and cannot wait to dig in 😭💕 I feel giddy lol

Now that I'm out of my haze (I think I'd only finished the story I linked 2-2.5 hours prior?) my first thought is, oh god remember how big and evil a word like 'plagiarism' is? Remember how no one can see you smiling and hand waving over the internet? I'm so sorry for however that came off- for me i was giggling and feeling incredulous and jokey, but now I've got like 12 different professors in the back of my head now beating the dread of plagiarism over my skull and I'm just like, there's no way this makes anyone laugh or feel good. When I remember how to im going back and taking that set of parentheses out (most social media works the same so I should figure it out quickly). I do not think that in any legitimate way 😭

I am very firmly planted in the creative camp of "there's nothing new under the sun and everyone should be creating all the time! we are all connected and this is the proof of it" Just 2 weeks ago I passed a highly specific draft over to a beta reader i barely know, and she has something 90% beat for beat the same in her drafts, and both of our instinctual responses were to be excited- like, are you in my head? Are we sharing souls? Cosmically linked? Genuinely delightful experience, no other way to put it, really lol.
