Somewhat disheartening

[ElijahRyne]

So I came up with a story idea. I am exaggerating it here to get the point across, but… A psychic who can erase memories teams up with a person who can control metal to fight for people with powers, and other political issues. Eventually they split due to disagreements in tactics and become enemies.

10 pages of plotting and writing, and I just recreated the X-men…

Have you done anything like this?

That's fucked up lol.
Just add the X-Men fandom and say it's a rewrite then your good.

 

[AYM]

Not uncommon.

I haven't done anything like this since I steal ideas.

Yeah I just overtly write fanfiction. So I both have and have not done something like this.

As a fanfictioners, this is literally heresy before my eyes.

Fix it, now...

It’s disheartening because I didn’t set out to write fanfic…

Supply and demand. People who really want more of something will eventaully find market substitutes, even if it’s unoriginal and derivative

 

[RepresentingCaution]

I haven't, but I think one of my IRL friends has.

 

[Representing_Tromba]

I have been in similar situations with story ideas.

You mean you borrow them, there's a difference.

Write it. Are the characters/setting different from X-Men?
