Now, this may seem odd, but I want to rescind my previous journal on the use of my characters. This is simply because after thinking about it, I've come to realize it's more or less pointless.
To clarify, I would prefer that people not use my characters. But I also know no matter how much or how hard I ask. It will likely not happen. The main reason why I posted that request in the first place was; I'd seen other artists ask more or less the same thing and thought, if they have to do it, I should do it as well just in case. Only to come and realize later, how ridiculously pointless it was.

The reasoning behind this follows: If someone's set on using a character (or characters in some cases) the someone will do so, despite what the creators may say. So I thought, instead of running around the internet making sure no one's using my characters, I can solve this possible problem by making the following statement: Anything done with any of my characters outside of this account is not canon. In other words, it does not affect the characters in any shape, way, or form. It's important to note commissions I have other artists do and commissions gifted to me (if it ever happens) are an entirely different situation. That is to say, they have their own set of rules they abide by.

To sum it up: I would appreciate it if others did not use any of my characters without notifying me first. But knowing some will ignore this request, keep in mind what's written outside of this account on these characters is not what's actually going to happen.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
