Chuck Steak
A satirical novel about a white action hero cop who gets a black hand transplant and experiences a new villain: racism. Written by a pissed-off, struggling author, about overcoming egotistical industry gatekeepers and learning to love writing again.
Andrew Schultz created a forum thread: Checking that a limerick I wrote hasn't been done yet
I’m considering writing a book of limericks I’ve written over the years. But of course I don’t want to write any duplicates. I suppose keywords and phrases would go pretty far, but there’s the possibility of a word change here or there that might make things tricky.

Obviously google-fu helps a lot, but is there anything I should be aware of to make it work? Maybe even APIs that would help automate stuff a bit? Is this the right place to ask for such (semi-)technical stuff?

From reading limerick compilations, I’m pretty sure I don’t overlap, but all the same, I’d like to do more to ensure I can avoid any possible plagiarism incidents/accusations.
