No, it's not the same Sara(h), but I would also like to run my topic by everyone for feedback before I delve further into my research. I personally think I am at the edge of a good paper, but can't really find my footing. If it seems totally bogus, let me know.
I would like to talk about what the authors that we have read (such as Kelly Link, Joe Hill) have done as far as effectively creating an homage to others' works without ripping it off....essentially, my paper becomes "Remembrances vs. Rip-Offs". It would explain what differentiates the two. Imagine Kelly Link's multitude of stories that brought so many other fantasy stories, movies and media to mind; her writing is so effective at jarring our memories of these things, but I would hardly consider any of her works a rip-off of anything else. It interests me how I can read something and smile at the familiarity and yet other times I read a story and am disgusted with lack of originality and the borrowing of others' ideas. I want to focus on the "secrets of their successes" in accomplishing the former.
Does this make any sense? Haha, I think it's either really far-fetched or just too downright philosophical. I have back-up ideas just in case, but this one sticks out the most. Suggestions?
