Originality is something that many people abuse. Creation of something that did not exist before does not indicate it is original. Creation of something that is worthy of the title of being something new is what Originality is. Like a new invention, song, or even character in a story, if it makes no sense or has no purpose or meaning to anyone it doesnt matter if it did not exist before. No one ever wanted it to exist besides it's creator, and if a creator cannot inspire a want or understanding of thier creation in another then what is the point of said creation. A creation also has to make sense, something that is an obvious contradiction within itself is not something that is to be praised. Gaia for example, yes in theory to you an angel who somehow has become a vampire seems a novel concept. To others this conundrum would create ridicule, and those who defend people with ridiculous creations only embolden others to more ludicrous amalgams of contradictory species, situations, and experiences. If you have created such a thing and take pride in your creation, it should be refelected in your work. Pride, planning, true imagination and real originality will be conveyed to anyone who the creator interacts with, pride in the work, puts perfection in the result.
