Hah, well ain't that just the dickens.

Worst thing ever isn't it? To find out something's been done :P

[Serendipity]

Heh, doesn't mean you can't do it

Reverse punk.
Instead of having a mohawk with the sides of your head shaved, you have hair all over your head except for a bald strip running across the middle from forehead to the spine. You are also very conservative and love the government. Your music is quiet and mellow. You always dress in suit-and-tie (men) or a proper prim dress (women).

I'd love that.

[Aroona]

Or maybe Salvage punk would be more accurate?

[Traest]

Heh, doesn't mean you can't do it

Most of Shakespeare's plays were taken from older stories. Take the concept and make it yours!

I like it, though I like most post apocalyptic society stuffs People having to adapt to weird and wonderful situations is always fun to read about.

[Lilandris]

Yeah, you can by all means take it and make it your own. I still love the idea

There's a saying: "Nothing is written in a vacuum" - meaning that all the things we write (or think up) are based in influences we are given by the world and the society we live in.

As such it's no wonder people might bump into similar ideas, but that doesn't mean the idea isn't big enough for more people ^^
