Wouldn't it be great if fiction writers did the same thing, or that editors had that guts to say, "um, Peggy, this is great, but, you know it has been kind of 'done' before..."

All too often the thing that's been done before is exactly what publishers want! They like to talk about looking for the 'next big thing', but as a glance at the post-HP, post-Dan Brown markets shows, they're actually after the last big thing...
