Sometimes, this barely ever happens in my pastas. I once did a (horrible) story in which the main character turned out to be the villain, but at the time I didn't know it was a cliche, or that it had even been done before, I thought I came up with the idea.

Most of my pastas have some, barely any, inspiration from other movies, novels and stories, like my post apocalyptic pasta 'Bloody Snow' has some inspiration from the movie 'The Day After Tomorrow' and the beasts in it are loosely based on Yeti.

But read a few pastas around the wiki, and you will barely find any two pastas that share the same basic theme. Have you read Bedtime? It's completely original, and I'm pretty sure no other pastas exist that are like it.

The problem is that people aren't creative. They can't come up with ideas, so they take a good pasta, and leech off of it as much as they can before people get sick of it. This is why so many pastas are blacklisted and so many things are done to death.
