Me: I have a great idea for a Monster Hunter fanfic! They'll be able to ride monsters that they either capture or raise from an egg!
Proceeds to forget about it for a few years.
Monster Hunter Stories comes out, a game in which you can ride monsters that you raise from eggs.
Me: …Fuck. It was MY idea, first!
Painful. Very painful
Friend: so how's the story going
Me: well I learned all of the deadliest poisons. Many ways to cause blunt force teams. Also where to stab someone or injure someone so they die quickest. Also I've written only a paragraph from the beginning of the month till now.
Friend: what? Why do you know all of that. Also I'm disappointed in how little you have written.
