I wrote a story and the main character is an archer? I wrote this story before I heard about the Hunger Games and I don't want people to think I "just stole the main character from the hunger games blah blah blah". Because that's happened to me with a different story -.-"

So... if you think it is or i should change it, please let me know what other class she could be. Thank you big_smile

No...
If you do a whole different plot and characters, that is fine..

That^ also, think of remixing. It's kind I the same, just wih little tweaks and minor, or major changes.

Not really. It really depends on what his/her personality is. I have seen many shows with people who have their own similarities but I wasn't that bothered by it because they had many differences too. ( or at least most of them did.)

Also Unless the story is also very similar to the hunger games I am pretty sure no one will say you are copying the hunger games. wink

Just make sure you're not portraying the character as a fierce girl who grew up in a poor country ruled by a dictatorship, and you'll be fine. I didn't even think about the Hunger Games at first when you mentioned the archer smile

Well, the character could be a fierce, poor girl, just as long as she doesn't participate in any Hunger-Game-like thing.
Yeah, it's totally fine! I have a story where the main character is a touch archer girl but I hadn't even read the Hunger Games - actually I don't think it was even popular yet - when I was writing her story.

I don't know why they would...

barbarian
you never see many female barbarians, itd be an original concept

It wouldn't be copying. Suzanne Collins didn't invent the concept of shooting arrows at people.

veggieman001 · 2012-04-21 12:28:49

I probably wouldn't have even associated the two had you not posted such a topic as this.

slinger · 2012-04-21 12:37:09

Yes; I'd be totally offended.
Naw, I think that it's fine to write a story about a girl w/ a bow :p
Of course if the person who wrote the book loves political power then get ready to be sued tongue

I'm offended that you would use archery in a story
it's so much like the Hunger Games
you copied Suzanne Collins

no it's fine

scimonster · 2012-04-21 23:19:39

The Hunger Games isn't the only story about archers out there. tongue Just the most popular right now.
You wouldn't be copying.
