Logically, I knew it wasn't meant that way, but it did hurt my feelings a little. I really didn't think stealing name and clothes from a different character was all that bad, mainly because I don't see those things as terribly important. I think of the whole of the character as a series of experiences and emotions, the name is just a label for that set, and the clothes are whatever makes sense as dressing for it.

So yeah, I guess I'm a little afraid of what you will think now. Which historically makes it difficult for me to write. For me, this is something I do completely outside of any kind of career aspirations, since in my chosen career, I would have to do Technical writing, not fictional. Two totally different things really. It's a stress reliever, so I dont like to feel stressed about meeting someone else's expectations.
