Things that make one go argh.

Don't you hate it when you read someone else's story and it has a major plot point which is exactly the same as a major plot point which you had planned for your own story, your own story which hasn't even been written yet and likely won't be for many months, but for which the notes (including a full description of this particular plot point) have been sitting on your hard drive for months already? And now you fear that when/if you finally do write that story, which has been close to your heart for so long, everyone will think you got the idea from X?

It can't be just me.

*sigh*

Yes. It happens all the time. I have maybe ten or more abandoned fics that have died the death of the too-similar. It's so annoying but, what can you do?
