Today, I let a friend read a draft of the novel I'm writing. She claimed the antagonist is blatantly based on her, and threatened to sue me if I don't pay her royalties. The antagonist is an ancient, insane goblin witch. I guess I see now how this confusion could arise. FML

Today, I was reading my students' Halloween stories I made them write for my creative writing class in high school. One of my students wrote about attacking me. She got my street address perfect and everything. FML
Today, I ruined a 4-year long friendship over something stupid, and I'm now being ghosted. I tried to fix it several times, but she doesn't care anymore I don't think. Imagine being the antagonist in your own story. FML
Today, after working on my novel for two years, I found out that another book has recently been published with an almost identical plot. I was going to submit it to a publisher in two days. FML
Today, I found out that my roommate secretly edited a paper I wrote and recently turned in, so that it repeatedly refers to the famed author "Kneel Gayman." I'm positive that's not how it's spelled. FML
Today, I started a new fantasy romance novel. It was very interesting, but then later I read the plot on Wikipedia and spoiled not just the book but the whole series for myself. Why do I do this? FML

Today, we had a meeting at my job and we had to introduce new ideas to our boss. Earlier, I was talking to one of my close friends who also attended the meeting about my idea. As we start the meeting, she decides to steal my idea and take complete credit for it. My boss loves "her" idea. FML
Today, at college, I finally talked myself into confessing my feelings to a girl I really like. Her response was to threaten to sue me. For what, exactly? I have no goddamned idea. I just don't understand people anymore. FML
Today, my ex friend turned half the school against me, saying I stole and damaged her phone, both lies. Things escalated and she threatened to jump me if I didn't apologize. I apologized but now she's making me pay money for something I didn't do, and I'm seriously considering a restraining order. FML
Today, after getting a friend of a friend a job, overnight she turned into Satan, making a job I once loved a hell on earth. I should really try to get to know people before I do them a favor. FML

I doubt she would want to prove in front of a judge that she's an insane goblin witch, even if she is. You'll be fine.

I can understand how she would think it's her, she's probably old , obviously insane, likes to paint herself green, and shoves a broomstick up her ****** from time to time.

Haha maybe your subconscious was thinking of her when you wrote it? Subconscious does some weird chiz man... Weird chiz.

It's ok dude, you can say "shit" on the Internet. Trying to sound intelligent while not even being able to handle using real curse words just looks silly.

Let her try! She will lose her ass in attorneys fees and she deserves it.

There's no way she's not joking, right? Right???

This is hilariously ridiculous. Hope it made you laugh at least, OP. and I sure hope she was joking.

If she thinks her personality resemblances an insane goblin, get her some help OP. Besides, there's no way she could get royalties anything if it honestly wasn't about her; I'm sure any judge would be able to understand the situation, if it ever made it to court.

Does she die at the end?

*Looking at the OP's name.* I know a popular American expression is "Pardon my French". Just getting a kick out of seeing it reverse.
