Wow, it was a book too? Man, now I feel retarded about getting all upset about me stealing an idea, even if I didn't have a clue it existed. I've been pretty good in the last few days about not thinking about it, because if I start up again I won't be able to stop. Maybe it's one of those ideas I'll come back to if I ever seriously get a chance to make it.
Eh, I'm the same way though, when it comes to "borrowing" from other writers and whatnot for story ideas. I think a lot of people do, but I like it because it kind of works as a jumping off point, ya know? I'm sure the vast majority of my stuff could be traced back to something I watched or read. And eventually, of course, everything anyone makes will all have a vague similarity to each other, haha.
