I agree 100%. Pastas should be quality first, attempt at originality second.

Having said that, a writer should try and be at least a tiny bit original, or else we will be reading the same pastas over and over.

Personally, though, I like exploring new ideas and concepts, and often my stories are based on something new I want to try. For example (and self promotion alert), my story Mother's Love is based entirely on my attempt to write 2nd perspective. In a way, I sacrificed quality for 'uniqueness'.

So, I say that if a person simply wants to write a (good) pasta, he should not be concerned too much with originality. But if he wants to explore something new, he should definitely go for it.
