Okay. Please @kbois is an excellent writer. However, this story is mine—written by myself only. K is a terrific editor, and if you've ever worked with an editor, you know they do not try to change your story or your voice.
I have not read the story or character you are referencing. Personally, I find it better not to read others' work when I am writing to ensure I am not influenced by it.
It's nice to think @kbois and I think alike in some ways. I killed off a loved character in After The Past. Sometimes, it's necessary, and if you do it, you need to be prepared to write all of the fallout.
