RE: The Package (Finish The Story #49 Entry)
Hahaha I know, I was joking cos you said you'd have to read it to say which way you read it :p I would still argue that practically, in terms of how it feels to do them, and the steps involved in committing the two crimes are very different, but on the legality, I can see how an artist would feel as though something copied was 'stolen' even if the original wasn't but kinda irrelevant, as there is no thieving in this story anyway :p
I wanted to play with the debt, and what had started as a sculpture handed over to a scary man to settle a debt had become more 'indebted' - if i had more words I could have used some on showing the difference in her fear, no longer scared for her life despite the obvious dangers, but for him being disappointed in her art. Society let both these people down but in harry, shannon finds her own strength, and in her, he finds his own weakness. It didn't come across so well either but at this point probably safe revealing the meaning I had tried to put in there.
Hmmm okay, I have read it back so many times trying to find the others, and the shannon related ones, but I shall have to leave it as one of the many mysteries of you. <3
I know, but I like busting jokes up more than playing into them. Otherwise, piracy of a copy never really stole the original; just like making a copy of something like a ROM or a .EXE file or a MP3 or something like that. So I agree with yah there, but art thieves Gal Cal and their magical ways!~ :p
Oh I know that, but yes these were less pronounced in the actual ending entry itself that I thought we were accepting that as an undercurrent of the story. Otherwise, yeah more words would've fleshed this out massively and given this a wide expanse of things to actually cover. (One of the many reasons I did expansion posts to begin with!~ :D)
~Good, let's leave it as a mystery~ <3
