Well I'm definitely not rushing it. I've been busy (still am a bit) for a while.
That sounds like a pretty nasty situation all together. I mean, stealing work? Isn't that one of the first things you're supposed to learn not to do? In any case, I don;t think simplicity is necessarily a bad thing, but if you overuse it as a writer it can be just as dull as a two page long sentence (ever had to read one of those books in school? I know I have.)
And so now you can remake this story into a glorious piece of work that will be praised for years to come, yes? xD
I wonder what goes through the heads of the creators when making those kinds of characters. I mean, I used to make terrible mary-sues once, but I can't, for the life of me, remember why I thought they were a good idea.
(I don't know, but I want it to go away. :c)
