Just be honest and say that you don't know. It's as simple as that. For example, if someone asks you about a rumor you've heard but you don't have all the details, just tell them 'I've heard something but I really don't know the full story so I can't say for sure'.
Just keep an open mind. Don't jump to conclusions right away. For instance, if you see someone being late, instead of thinking they're irresponsible, just wait and see if there's a valid reason.
No. Lying is generally not acceptable, even if you don't know the full story. It's better to admit that you don't have all the information rather than lying. For example, if someone asks you about a situation at work and you're not sure, saying 'I'm not sure' is more honest than making something up. Lying can lead to misunderstandings and damage relationships in the long run.
Just keep reminding yourself of the purpose. If you know what you're really aiming for, you won't get carried away with the story - telling.
You could try describing the plot or characters to someone who reads a lot and see if they recognize it.
You could try searching by specific themes or tropes that you remember from the fanfic. For example, if it was a romance with a forbidden love angle, search for those terms.
Well, if you don't know the origin of the short story, you could provide as much information as you have about the story itself, like its title, main themes, and any distinctive features. Also, mention that the origin is unknown in your citation.
I might feel a bit curious and wonder what they think of it.
Well, without knowing the full story, it's hard to be certain. But if it's related to the term 'khudaya' which might be related to God in some languages, it could potentially have significance in terms of religious or spiritual teachings, like moral lessons or a way to connect with the divine.
When you don't have stories, start with your emotions. Let's say you're feeling a bit sad. You can create a story about a character who is also sad and how they overcome that sadness. You can also use current events or things you've heard about. For instance, if there was a local festival, you can write a story about a character who attends that festival and has an adventure there. Use your imagination to fill in the gaps and create a unique story.
One way is to describe the plot or main characters to people who are into graphic novels and see if they can help. You can also search online using related keywords and browse through popular graphic novel forums or communities.
