RE: About writing "fiction", "original work". What do you think?

in #writing3 years ago

Well if I dreamt of writing Hamlet it would likely be a lot different from the original, also since Hamlet is in public domain, any reproductions would fall into transformative works. I could see myself making a recording of myself reciting Hamlet verbatim, and no-one could claim it wasn't my own interpretation or the original.

There's one way to argue it wasn't an original, and that would be to claim I am not the same person I was 3 years ago. Although I think it is negligible at best.

Well I'll see what happens next...
