Hey guys. Guys.

I have news.

I had an idea for a story.

And I think it's an original one.

It's a twist on stories where the heroes encounter an alternate universe- especially ones where the alternate universe is darker, or all the heroes are villains, that sort of things.

In this story, we start in the dark alternate world. Life is difficult. The main characters are crooks/mercenaries who get by via rather unscrupulous means. The world is ruled by a dark god- mostly from afar, but still there.

Then one day, they find a way to escape through a portal to an alternate dimension. In this new dimension, the dark god was defeated centuries ago, life is better, and the alternate versions of the protagonists are heroes. And they aren't happy with the protagonists invading, causing havoc and ruining their reputation.

The main conflict is over what each version of the protagonists should do. And I think I know how they'll resolve it. But of course, I can't tell you.

Story- it's news because, quite frankly, I thought it would be impossible for me to ever come up with something original. I have believed for years that there were not any original ideas left to be had. The best I could ever do was ask "what if x happened instead of y?" Coming up with something better is a big deal to me.

Honestly, original ideas are overrated. It's a great starting point, but it's execution that makes or breaks a story. That said, the premise you have is definitely interesting and there's a lot of potential for interesting stories in there. Would the guys from the darker world be like actually evil villain protagonists, or would it just be Values Dissonance between the worlds?

That's because it's true. Remember Eccliesastes? There is nothing new under the sun. Everything can be traced back to something else.

I just discovered that there's an orchestral version of the Cheetahmen theme. I still can't get over the feeling that I've heard it somewhere before though. Maybe someone used it in a fangame?

You say this as if all of us should be intimately familiar with the Hebrew bible.
