No Originality Brigade 303 members · 1,167 stories

This group is dedicated to finding fics with a low level of originality. It doesn't have to be clichéd, only unoriginal.


In this group, a fic is unoriginal if it contains very few uncommon ideas, or largely relies on fanon, clichés or stereotypes.
This is not always a negative thing, but often is.

Actually, never mind. I just notice that the only Admins of this group haven't logged in since 2017 - 2018.

I like to imagine I'm attempting a slightly newer spin on the typical and tired tropes of FOE and anti FOE stories but fair enough I guess. It is generic as hell atm ill admit

Ya know, to be fair, I wrote most of my fics when this fandom started. So they're more like the originals than the copies. :raritywink:

Can i put my highly original fanfic with fantastically strange and hilarious awe inspiring twists on here?

You hearing this 429047? Sounds like it's time for the group admins to make a display.

Nevertheless, it is still a mostly dead group other than members keeping it on life support when its admins have either been ignoring members/people asking politely to have their story removed or one or two of the mods have been gone a long time.

Which is why it's the member's responsibility to participate in said group.

Having new stories being added doesn't mean its alive especially when the mods/admins or any of the members have not responded to others other than the very few who have been misusing the group's original intentions. For example, there are people here who asked politely to have their story removed, only to be either be ignored, given a lot of dislikes, or someone responded negatively.

It can't be that dead. I'm seeing new stories added all the time.

I think this groups dead considering that whenever someone asks nicely/rudely for their story to be removed, they either get ignored or mocked.

Hi, I would like Year of the Dragon taken out of this group? I never placed it here and to be frank, while having bits of "unoriginality" it is also just as original. I mean, I tried to make it a mix because lets face it, all Displace stories are unoriginal from the first. Thank you very much if you take it out.

So what exactly qualifies as original anymore? Everything seems to have been done to death if you look hard enough.

I'm curious and I'm making sure none of of mine end up here.

Could you please remove my story, Don't You Dare, from this group? Think someone misunderstood the difference between unoriginality and inspired.

Here I was thinking the group dead. How about you goys do something with Plan 9 or RR?
