Description I always highly apreciate even the smallest amount of effort somebody puts into creating pictures with my characters, but there's something that started to bug me llike hell. Firstly, I'm not gonna make anybody to ask for my permission to make pictures of my OCs, because you guys can do whatever the hell you want.
But if you want to get at least my response for your hard work, keep its subject reasonable.

People are pressing on me with their own Roleplays/Stories, trying to infulence or even completely change the storyline I am creating. It's of course not a big deal and all it takes is to ignore such comments/pictures, but stuff like that started to get really constant.

People are being dissapointed or even OFFENDED that I don't approve their ideas, but they are forgetting an important point: It's my character and my story.

So again, I'm really glad that so many people like Strict and put effort to create pictures of him, but that doesn't mean I like all of the subjects. And what I don't like are creations that may press to change the storyline.

Example of what I find okay:

Example of what I DON'T find okay: (Trugaming, about your other pictures - I don't know what's the matter, but writing "no offense intended" under your offensive pictures does not make them any less offensive.)

And for the love of Gaben, don't be THIS guy: comments.deviantart.com/1/4818…

This just gives me the idea to feature Strict Soldier in all his glory.
I swear, I'll do it right!

I have seen a lot of Strict in people's works (sometimes in completely ridiculous situations and seemed completely opposite of what Strict would be in) and I was wondering what was going on.Β 

Your characters are very likable, but they are still a part of YOU. They have their personalities, standards, and boundaries. People should respect that.

The guy who back-sassed you about your OCs can go f*** right off a cliff as he has no idea what the meaning of an OC is.Β

I don't want to be any agressive when it comes to putting strict in other people's pictures, but some people just cross the line.

I have to agree with this.

Yes I have created a few stories and pics with Strict in them, but I try to keep them as canon as possible.Β  When I wrote 'the interrogation' I didn't realize that you had your own idea for where this was going, and like I said on Steam, as far as I'm concerned, my story is an AU that closely follows Strict's canon universe.

Menaria has her storyline, and I have mine while borrowing her character.Β  where they cross is merely coincidence (or done purposely by myself, but not forced as canon).

I've not had too many issues like this with people using Sid, but I do understand where you are coming from.Β  And honestly, I'm just glad if my stuff even gets viewed (I know, I'm slow to update stuff.)

Yeah we already made things clear about it. You can write whatever you like, but I sadly can't accept your current story as a canon. It's just a bit out of place.

Still I have a rule that anything that at least contains Strict in the background or his well known privates si going to be accepted to Metal Melters group.

Come on people, writing a suggestion or an idea for a story's plotline is one thing.
It's another entirely when you try to force your ideas down other people's throats.

Geez.. Β you'd think people wouldn't make such a big deal about all this.

I did happen to notice non-canon stories involving your characters going around lately- didn't think that people would deliberately demand your attention and approval of it.

That's like screaming at the producer of some T.V. show to approve your fan-fiction between two characters, makes no sense.

Menaria In reply to Saga-Sage [2014-11-22 16:08:16 +0000 UTC]

I don't think that big of myself to be compared to a producer. But people constantly ask me about making pictures with Strict.
Which is okay!
But sometimes people get their boots into my house.

Its easy to think that its easy to control followers with out some limits. But like in army ther is rules and limits for reason...

Some pepole sometimes try by "Force" to be someone and thay think its good way by posting tons of other pepole characters then trying make thay one own.
