Tfw you're feeling pretty good about your fill; then you go to post it and see that there's already an amazing fill.
And then even though you shouldn't (because as a reader you love multifills ) you feel like a porn star with a 4" cock standing next to someone with a 10" cock that lights up and recites poetry

Oh my god I know that feel.
I mean weird metaphore for the thing but yeah. I actually got accused of plagiarism on AO3 because someone not from the kinkmeme doesn't understand multi fills. It was one of the most upsetting days as a fic writer.

That's unfortunate because as a reader I love, LOVE multi-fills. Because seeing two people's take on the same premise is interesting.

I think that sometimes also depends upon how specific the prompt is though vs. how open.
