Nothing is original plot-wise, luckily it's impossible to copyright plots so nobody can accuse you of anything, luckily for Shakespeare who nicked most of his! It's fun to reference your faves in your books, I agree. I feel Hunger Games is pretty much the Cretan labrynth myth right through, but doing new things with old stories is not only creative but keeps them alive. (Also I think Michael Keaton is greatly underrated as an actor, let alone Pacific Heights.)Lydia Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328239009863878547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-2467060760855077042014-01-31T09:30:28.671+00:002014-01-31T09:30:28.671+00:00You're obviously a great watcher of films etc ...You're obviously a great watcher of films etc in the genre you love.
