User blog:I, Da Cashman/Cosbydaf Stole My Idea

You've got to be kidding me here: http://godzillareplay.blog.com/2013/09/06/chapter-4-amorphis/

Cosbydaf, when I decided to feed off the fame of you and half a dozen other famous creepypastas by making a crossover prequel, I didn't know you'd actually take my ideas and make them your own. Like, okay, it was no secret that The Transcendence Project meant that the game cartridge had been tampered with or even created in a scientific setting. But it's a whole nother story when you go ahead and have it be a JOURNAL. Written in the same style of "here's our progress so far" kind of stuff. And why the Hell is it taking place in 1997? I didn't just choose 1988 because that's when the And Justice for All album came out. I chose that because it was right before the Godzilla Monster of Monsters game came out. At least in the States. And seriously, Dr. Robert Lawrence? I can't...

...wait a second....

Maybe this alligns perfectly with Dyers Eve.

Well, think about it. At the end of Dyers Eve, Petter Ritter steals the game cartridge and sends it off in the mail. In chapter 4 of Godzilla: Replay, we find out that Robert Lawrence got the video game cartridge anonymously in the mail. Peter says that he sent it to his "nephew." At the time I was hinting at something a little more abstract and emotion-based, but this could totally work. And the reason why it took 9 years for Rob to get the cartridge was because some high-importance agents confiscated it and only allowed him to receive it when they decided that it was okay to continue The Transcendence Project. And yes, they don't conduct the same Gateway of the Mind style experiments in the journals of Godzilla: Replay, but if my story was going to be a prequel to the original Godzilla pasta from the beginning I had to be able to get around that. The idea would be that once the cartridge reached transcendence (or something transcended into it hint hint Red) it would remain that way until somebody killed it off. Hell, that implies something about the Gateway of the Mind story in general. It's a little odd that the organization (presumably David and Joseph) would keep Dr. Lawrence in the dark as to the origins of the cartridge, but it makes sense with their "need to know basis" MOs.

So now am I tasking myself with finally writing Dyers Eve 2? If I want it to be a true sequel to my story I'm going to have to find ways to fit a bunch of other crossovers in and make it seem natural. But Cosbydaf already used names for the human controllers that I don't recognize as hints towards other pastas. Maybe I should just make it lean towards the Godzilla pastas. Maybe call it Godzilla: Preplay. Yeah, that would get the ladies.

We'll just have to wait and see how the Godzilla: Replay story goes forwards.

(And that first paragraph was more or less written in jest. Yeah the similarities are striking, but I get the feeling I probably just guessed it really accurately. Not like it's the most original concepts anyhow.)
