Hee, I guess I'll postpone reading your fic, then, and will try to write my fic idea first - as long as I know that you don't have a problem with it, I don't mind that there's already fic that deals with similar issues, because I think it's a topic that can be approached from quite a few perspectives.

That said, I really look forward to reading your fic. It sounds very interesting :).

this is a concept that very few in the fandom have explored
That's surprising, actually. I'd have thought it would be one of the major fic themes in this fandom, considering how complex it is. Hee, all the better, more space for me to play with ideas xD.
