It is by no means identical, and as I see it, its a good thing. If one book which has a similar setting and approach is doing well, so much the better for my chances :grin:.

Do you shelve the idea until enough time has passed before releasing it out to the world? Or do you go ahead with it immediately? Given the amount of time it takes for a writer to create a workable idea, you certainly cannot be accused to stealing an idea. But I do agree. There are just so many ideas out there and the odds of who authors coming up with the same must be pretty damn good. So what do you do in a situation like that?

Just as I was about to start writing it, a movie came out with practically the same plot. I swear I'd never seen anything written about this movie either.
