Realized I hadn't updated in awhile, and that I did need to mention that the "A Warning" journal is now irrelevant. Step-mom got two new jobs so now we're good. Yay.

Anyway, nothing is really going on. Slow work on Perlas Region and Jennoa (by good friend Live, who's work is in my favorites if you need to get to it), but other than that nothing. So, I decided I'd take a chance to use this space to talk a little bit about my views on fanfic, specifically using canon characters.

As you may have noticed, I NEVER use canon characters in my fics. I just don't like to. Now, you may be thinking "great, an art snob who thinks using canon characters=unoriginal." That is not what I think. In fact, if you can pull off a canon character, then more power to yah. I can actaully applaud that. I just don't like to use them.

My real reason for it; I'm a bit intimidated by it. Canon characters already got a history, a personality, and everyone knows how they generally act. Because of that, I get completely paranoid of having them act OOC to the point I don't want to use them. I just get scared that here are characters someone took their time and talent to make, and I might just screw up using them.

Strangely enough, I can make OC characters that are similar to canon characters and use them just fine. Probably because since they are mine, I can adjust them.
