How many have people out ther come up this wonderful and unique
story or plot point, and later found out that, while for you it's new,
elsewhere it's been done to death?

Er, if anyone wants my certified original ideas, they can have them.  I've 
got far too many to know what to do with.  ^_-

Minor caveat:  Most of them aren't anime-based.  ^^;;;
