Q: Do you mind books with similar ideas to other books? Similar concepts, backgrounds, retellings or pulled-to-publish fanfic?
A: I'm not a fan of fanfic, actually. I only read it for my authors I beta for that write it; I don't search it out. Since my fav genre is paranormal romance, you see a lot of the same stuff there. I like stories that have something new to them, of course, but the awesome characters in a predictable plot can still make for a lovely story. My one complaint is authors that always use the same plot formula in their series stories. Now that gets old because it shows they're being lazy. I'm always trying something new, even with the same genre, just to test out different plot or writing devices.
