Thanks, I really liked you being so into the inspiration for the names of the characters. :)
I’m having fun with names all the time so I notice when somebody else is doing it as well.

I think it's not a problem of inspiration, but the deadline is tomorrow, so no need to upload early.

You may well be right, but given the possible need for corrections, tidying, missed word counts, etc., I hope that anyone who can upload a little bit early chooses to do so. (Though that may admittedly be a reflection of my own phobia of screwing up forms, and the like.)
