The Natives

Early when I was working on the story I did consider that someone might take things from it and use them. This was an upsetting thought. I am not saying this is what happened but it does seem strange there are quite a few similarities.
I wanted to tell everyone that Xanthia is rare in the Universe and they have been given a second chance. The Watanis are supposed to have their place on the planet to live. They are supposed to be left alone as they wish. Why should we think we are the only ones?
I feel bad about this. I wanted to be the one to tell this story. Going from moon to moon is not different than going from planet to planet.
It is difficult to think another would have this main idealiology for their story.

The WaterFalls

Just because you use something from someone else's work and disguise it does not means you did not copy the work. This is still plagerism.
I have been trying to explain all the similarities between Xanthia and Avatar. Another similarity is the water fall. Ahmed and Ishtar first meet under the waterfall in the Rain Forest. In Avatar the main characters go under a waterfall to the dragon like creatures. Under the waterfalls is under the waterfalls.
All of my pages to the story and all my notes are dated and have the time of the day they were posted. I have proof as to when I wrote this story and my ideas.

The Horses

This thread is where I am keeping track of the similarities of Xanthia and Avatar.
Ahmed gives Ishtar her horse called Morocco. Ahmed's horse is called Arabia(might be changed). They ride in the RainForest on the Night of the Fireflies. In Avatar the main characters and others have horses. We have that in Xanthia. The characters in Avatar which takes place on the moon of Pandora, the characters also ride exotic horses.
There are many similarities between Xanthia and Pandora.
I have expressed my complaints about things in Avatar that have been disguised.

The Natives

I just want to stress that the natives(Watanis) are supposed to be left alone. They have their own territory in the RainForest. This is very similar to Avatar. This is where I try to present my case and question if things from my story were used by Mr Cameron. How can we know?

Ahmed and the Natives

It is strange that Ahmed makes friends with the natives and learns their language and the main character in Avatar makes friends with the natives and learns their language. All these things are similarities between Avatar and life on Xanthia.

The Last Airbender

Now I saw previews at the movies of "The Last Airbender". In this movie the child controls the elements. I saw wall of water, fire, ice and I beleieve wind. These are things that Ahmed controls in the story here of "Ahmed and Ishtar". I shall see this movie "The Last Airbender when it come out to see what the story line envolves. Are these coincidences also. I will say after I see this movie, "The Last Airbender".

Dr Who

Johnny Depp may star in remake Dr Who. These are stories of Dr Who going from one planet to another through secret passages. All of these movies make me feel parts are being taken from "Ahmed and Ishtar" story.
I think Dr Who would be alright.
Monday I will go to see the Last Airbender to compare stories.
