Not everyone is capable of original thought (I've taught college-level creative writing for a long time; I know what I'm talking about here). So what? Let them post; that's what this place is all about. Challenge yourSELF, Bladewolf. I mean, I generally find head-shots about as interesting as 2% milk--never bother with 'em (hey--there's Vicky gazing soulfully into the middle distance! Woo-hoo!). Sci fi and fantasy also generally spring from the same tired junkyard of worn-out cliches. The lesson is that what's capital-O "Original" to you might very well be incredibly tedious and nerdy and trite to oothers.
