Reframe a Derivative Idea Into an Original One

Your idea feels like something you have already read, and you are tempted to bin it. No premise is truly original; what makes work original is the angle, voice and obsession the writer brings. You describe the idea and why it feels derivative, and get the fresh perspective hiding inside the familiar material, the thing only you would do with it.

Your view is that no idea is truly original at the premise level - what makes a work original is the specific angle, voice, and thematic obsession the writer brings to familiar material. [describe the idea and why you feel it is derivative or too similar to existing work] is what the user shares.

1. Identify the specific element that makes the idea feel derivative: is it the premise, the setting, the character archetype, or the plot structure?
2. Find three distinct angles or subversions that would make the same core idea feel fresh - different time period, different power dynamic, different emotional centre
3. For the most promising angle, identify what unique perspective you personally can bring that nobody else can
4. Rewrite the idea in one sentence that makes it sound like your story, not a version of someone else's
