Ok, so I was tagged to do something, but that has to wait... I have something I need help with. So for anyone who can help, it would be appreciated if you did. Here's the problem--

I wrote a long fanfic a couple years ago, but never finished posting it. The problem comes from the fact that one, I borrowed a character from someone I'm not friends with anymore. I don't remember why I asked in the first place, but at this point, it's left me screwed over as far as what to do with the story, and pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. The second thing is that being as old as it is, my newer stuff is better. So I want to rewrite it, but I'm not sure in what way. Making int less awkward and leaving the borrowed character in, or making it less awkward and also taking the character out completely? I'd ask my former friend, but I'm afraid I wouldn't get an answer from her. I'd make the choice myself, but it haunts me either way. My other option is to just stop posting it altogether. I could do that, but then what does that accomplishment really mean in the end? I finished it. I could rewrite it, but either way I do leaves me feeling very uneasy.

So can anyone help me? I realize that this might look like a stupid problem, but I really don't know what to do about it. This entire thing could have been avoided if I never borrowed a character in the first place. I realize that, so don't remind me of it.

You could always keep the character in but change the looks and tweak the personality to something else.
