dmxratedBrian came over two nights ago, but only long enough to gather some stuff up after having moved to a different apartment. Dad drove him back to his new apartment midday yesterday, and Mom and I decided to take a pizza home from Cafe Gia for dinner.
Coming home from there, Mom asked me if I've chatted with Jake and Chelle. I told her about that comment exchange I've had with Chelle, which was about my plans for rewriting Cries Unheard.
While we ate, she asked me if I planned on re-titling it, to which I answered Screams of Silence if I decide to, after a certain episode of Family Guy. I mentioned that said episode deals seriously with domestic abuse, and she asked me to describe what happens in it. While she was surprised that that show actually dealt decently with such an issue for once, she did comment that the way the situation was resolved still doesn't set a good example. I told her that to have killed the antagonist was the only option left that the mains had at that point, coincidentally just like Miyuki and Kagami's in the beginning of that fic.
Yeah, I know. I'd still be stealing Blood's ideas if I change the title. That was Mom's idea, not mine, and besides which, that's more or less one of my points here.)

Still thinking about it, it's possible that I might not go through with it after all, given how blatantly out-of-character I described Kagami's actions a month ago. I Was Kagami Hiiragi holds plenty of water as to why she lets a couple of thugs brainwash her into abusing both drugs and her family and friends, but mere butterflies-in-the-stomach is not a sufficient reason as to why she'd abandon Tsukasa during a shopping spree she specifically dedicated to her, let someone sexually abuse her, and fail to take any of her real friends seriously when they complain to her about having been raped by the very person she's dating. Even mariofan48 agrees with me, which goes to show that I probably don't even have to read further into parts of a fic that I'd like not to touch for a long time.
Unfortunately, I am not likely to involve Chelle in this whole thing. She did say that while there's nothing wrong with writing personal rewrites of a given story, hosting it in a public location constitutes copyright infringement, something she herself had to deal with in the past and would rather not help anyone else commit. I already got her help before in creating an illicit group on DeviantArt (which I took down the next morning), she was pissed about it, and I'd rather not do it again.
