A member here wrote and suggested a nice additional twist to my first story, which I am considering adding once the competition is over.
What is the protocol? Would you edit the story to add it in, with a comment at the bottom thanking the member for their idea?
I am inclined to leave the story "as is", the additional twist idea was not my own. Having said that, editors suggest changes to the plot and structure all the time to your work from what I've been told.
Writing another similar story incorporating the same concept is out of the question.
How do you handle it when good ideas are sent to you?
Please read and comment on my first story, it's for the Halloween Competition, entitled
"Pumped Kin."
