(Tamara had a great post last week on the paradox of originality versus people seeking original works. Spinning off from that, I think I've got a bead on why originality is sometimes rewarded in media – and as well why sometimes stunning unoriginality is not).
Are you getting tired of vampires?
I've been tired of vampire fiction, movies, what have you for quite awhile. i've seen it all, heard it all, and by now I have nearly no interest whatsoever in the whole vampire genre and its spawn. I started getting tired of it around Anne Rice's heyday, and most young people reading "Twilight" today probably think Anne Rice is a cajun dish.
I can't be the only one tired of vampires in every media known to man. Yet they're everywhere.
