(I wanted to keep this seperate from the other thread to avoid any heated feelings flying around.)

I did see that you changed Direach's "fire snapping" to something a little different, and I thank you for that. But here's the thing, I got the idea for those powers (for Dresden) from Full Metal Alchemist, which is another anime. So they weren't "mine" to begin with. However, coupling the fire snap technique with other elements (Direach's name, his deceased family, and the fact that he's a Quincy, plus a few elements in DD's personality section) made me a bit uncomfortable since they seemed so close to Dresden.

I apologize in advance if this is all just me assuming things and you had no intentions of copying Dresden's article whatsoever. (We writers can be jealous types you know, heh.)

If you did draw inspiration from Dresden, I really wish you would have sent me a message to talk about it. (And this can be for future reference, btw.) I would have been more than willing to talk to you about Direach, and could have helped you brainstorm as far as powers go and things like that as well. Many users on here borrow ideas from other users, but they get permission first. (That's what the property templates are for, after all).

All that being said, I hope there are no hard feelings between us. Again, I apologize if I have been mistaken about this, as I don't mean to offend you in anyway. I have already forgiven you if you did offend me, and I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you. I am also willing to help you through this issue, as I want (as much as you do, I assume) to resolve this problem with as little conflict as possible. Please feel free to ask me any question, and if I have been unclear about anything please let me know.
