This is actually an historic occasion for another reason--remember, remember the fifth of November is another important anniversary:

53 years ago today, Dr. Emmett Brown invented the flux capacitor, the device which makes time travel possible! \o/

Anyway. I come seeking advice, dear Livejournal, on some completely and totally hypothetical stop looking at me issues, and since I respect and crave appreciate your input, here's a handy poll:

[Poll #1292132]

See, I kind of feel like changing my spelling to look like I'm a European author is wrong and poser-y, but I don't want it to be a distraction, y'know? *frets*

And the second question completely and totally did not come up this very morning for me or anything and is not giving me mental distress or anything so just stop looking at me like that.

Oh, small fandoms with as yet a handful of episodes, you are difficult on the early adopters.

As I just had this happen... XD I was spelling "armour" as "armor" and somebody commented about it, so I started using British spellings. BUT, I don't think it's entirely necessary. I do tend to preface with a warning for American spellings, though, just so people won't think I'm an idiot who can't type. *she says as she accidentally types "idoit"*

As far as the story goes, I'd say keep going. If somehow it turns out that your story is like, exactly the same (highly unlikely), you may consider scrapping it, but a similar premise (even a very similar one) isn't automatic grounds for people screaming "plagiarism OMG!!". (Plus, y'know, so far, Merlin fandom is freakishly awesome and full of cool people who do not seem crazy. *is loving this* *is also assuming fandom-in-question*)

Yeah, you're totally right on the fandom in question. (Yeah, they're all nice and friendly now, but wait until we actually have, y'know, choices! Like a myriad of stories! *g*)

I've been informed by my trusty advisor that the other story is in fact not identical, so I am... 3% less worried. Heh.
