I did see the rework you had made, and it looks relatively nice. But I do have an issue with it.

To cut to the chase, I haven't found it productive to provide entire kits to most content creators. In some cases, you are doing the labour for them, and in other cases, you may be forcibly pushing your own ideas upon them. In Clay's case, it can be both.

As far as I have seen, Clay has made some progress in general with kit making, but hasn't developed much further with their creativity of making an interactive kit, neither have they gotten the grasp of making a coherent one either. In response to this, I've taken my time to question their approaches and criticize what has been done wrong, while on the side hinting what may be for the better. When I've given suggestions, I believe I've avoided as much as I can in not warping their words and/or giving a perspective than an answer. This is what I offer to content creators in hopes that they'll improve. I won't deny though that I do have a belief that some of the content creators around have plateaued as to what they can produce, whether if it's being limtied by age, maturity, knowledge, or all of these combines or more.

Reworking a kit and posting it though has other issues. I find that at the moment, Tayna's theme is still vague, even with the story Clay has put together. She isn't well defined, thus a proper kit specifically to her cannot be implemented. If I had posted my own rework of the kit, it would then be "my take on Tayna." But is that helping Clay, or just my own desire to fulfill Tayna? At that point, Tayna would become my project, taking the ownership away from Clay. It is an extreme view of looking at the situation, but to Clay, even if he were to be alright with it, it does not help them as a content creator. With each piece, I would like the content creator to also develop. But if such content creator see that the only goal of each of their creations is "to complete the contnet" and not "learn how to complete the content," I am not as willing to follow them on that journey. Only if they've really found themselves unable to do anything further with the vision they have in mind and wish to pass the baton to someone they deem can produce it better would I take it up.
