STOP USING MY CHARACTER

Journal Entry: Thu May 17, 2012, 3:14 PM
I have brought this up over on furaffinity many, MANY times. And since the problem persists...Im wondering if its people on Deviantart. I dont know where its steming from, but people are using my fursona.
You see, if it were simply some of my other characters it wouldnt be that big of a deal...but when people go and use my fursona I get EXTREMELY pissed. I have found Tartii being used in several roleplaying sites, on facebook and other places. People go so far as to try and be me, and even change tartii's sexual orientation. (shes not sexual at all wtf.)

If you find people who are using my character, please ask them nicely to remove it. If it is not removed, contact me and I will personally confront them.

On the same note, I have found somebody on this site called....roleplayer.me
I have made an account just to contact said person.

Thats my account. I will not link their account...not unless they refuse to take it down. But several of my art there has been posted. It seems people do not understand the time and effort and the sheer LOVE I hold for my creations. Tartii is INCREDIBLY personal to me, she is my heart. Stealing and using her without a second thought causes me great pain, and Im trying my best to tell as many people as possible to not use her.

If I ever decided to use tartii it would be my fursona picking up her feral version and hugging tightly and your fursona with the expression "OH DEAR GOD WTF" (Lol I so cant draw) :3 if I see anyone using Tartii il inform yew :3 , sadly its most likely 13-15 year olds who simply find nice pictures and use them as avatars (I used to do that i'll admit)

A fursona is pretty damn personal. Pity many don't seem to understand that.

"Oh, it's on the internet, I can use it, then!"

Eh, no. That's not how it goes, people.

I feel ya... I would suggest to put your signature and/or watermark somewhere where it can't be cropped out. I'm agreeing with PointsForFavours on this, if you don't want your sona stolen over and over maybe you should compile all of your Tartii images and just watermark and sign the hell out of them. I know it may be a little odd but I know it'll work. I'm personally starting to do that for all my artworks ESPECIALLY the characters that are close to my heart, I rather not have your art stolen again simply because Tartii IS you.

People should respect your wishes and not use your character to roleplay or for any other purpose, really... :( WTF is wrong with people? They could just as easily make their own character to use!

i think that after generations and generations, some people, just simply forgot how to be creative

Ah this problem, Ive had it a few times myself-mostly the people actually pretending to be me , I find it best to let everyone know what sites you are and are not on so people can spot a fake and tell you.

as for character theft really thats pretty difficult unless someone reports them to you.
I'm sorry to here you are having this problem though (can't people create their own characters any more?)

Maybe put your signature somewhere that can't be cropped on your work but I still don't understand this why would someone find it so hard to make their own fursona, isn't something that made based on your own feelings?
