I'm just stepping in to say that I am currently writing a fantasy romance that has a character named Bastian in it!
He's not the main character, but he's a pretty major character.
I am both amused and horrified because A) it's not exactly a common name, so it's like "hey, cool!"; and B) I have a serious problem with unintentional parallels and I feel like I am slowly losing my mind.
Like, for example, I am currently writing a story with a character named Lilah who is a bad ass and has one eye that she lost in a battle. I was explaining the plot to my friend and she asked if I'd ever read Darker Shade of Magic. I said no, she told me it has a character named Lila who is a bad ass who has one false eye.
And then I wanted to start writing a story about a strange little town full of supernatural mysteries. I was going to call it "Welcome to Glen Hollow".
Imagine my shock when someone told me about "Welcome to Nightvale", which I have never read/watched/listened to.
So now I'm going to have to read your story in a desperate attempt to see what else is similar, and to reassure myself I am not psychically ripping off ideas from books I've never even read, haha.
