When I was a kid I had this idea about a protagonist who's a serial killer but kills bad people. I think I even wrote a chapter or so, but it was probably shit. Then later someone wrote Dexter, so I don't need to worry about it any more.

Edit: it was Jeff Lindsay, the first book was in 2004. It was probably the mid-90s when I was having those ideas so we might've been thinking about it at the same time lol
