I must admit, all this hacking business going on is giving me the creeps.
*GENZOMAN, a very skilled and reknowned artist was hacked and had his
account deactivated by the offenders, as many, many artists have recently.
What I detest though, is that he had his account reactivated by the DeviantArt
staff, yet none of the other victims can. At this rate, I'm tempted to pack up
and leave. Nonetheless, I'm going to tighten my security on my details here.
I've been reading articles all morning, and I've figured, the best way to stay
out of trouble is to blend with the masses; hopefully you won't be the unlucky
one. So I'm gonna just lay low for a while. Don't plan on posting anything
until the storm passes, though I might submit something every now and then.
But not loads. (Not like I do anyway.) Better be safe than sorry,
better be safe than sorry. (L4D reference thar.)
Now, onto another thing. I'm going to work on drawing all my old Naruto
Original Characters. Why? Well 1) I was going through my inbox, and I'm a
member of a few OC groups, I admit it. Heck, I'm a member of HEAPS of groups
anyway. But anyway, I saw a nice picture, so naturally, I followed the link,
had a look, faved then glanced at the description. The artist was asking the
viewers to join their fangroup for their character that they and
their close friend made. That's... just no. That's not polite at all, and
I think most of you know how I get with politeness and ettiquette. I don't wanna
sound harsh, but no guys, just no. A fangroup for Naruto OCs that aren't yours, or
someone random that made you one, sure! But no. Not made yourself (practically), or
asking people to join. Asking someone to join something about you, is
completely different to asking someone to join something that's important to you
and those around you, like cancer, or depression or LGBT rights. Those
kinda things, they're acceptable. 2) I'm sick of seeing the new generation of
Mary Sue's coming through. I detest characters that mean the story-line has to be
shredded so they can be with whoever they want (coughsasukecough -- although Itachi's
becoming increasingly popular. Looks like I'm not the only one to be in the change).
Being inventive is good; sure tweaking the event of something slightly is acceptable,
but not taking the story and flipping it on it's head. I appreciate exploiting loop-
holes in the story. That makes it believable. Heck, I adore those who make an
entire story that is off on it's own tangent, and simply relates to events in
the cannon. That's imaginative!
So that's what I'm doing. I'm taking my old motley crew. I am going to inject
them with the most anti-Sue material I can think of. A shitillion weaknesses,
and one strength -- that kinda stuff. Something that makes them feel like
they're real, believable. Sure they'll have their strengths too, but I'm going to
do my best to make them Original Characters.
/ENDRANTScrambling under a rock with my drawing tablet now. Be safe guys!
And Happy New Year, plus all the best suffering in the floods in Queensland!
there are now so many uchihas on da its
annoying, like, what the hell, thought itachi
killed all those red-eye freaks! and now the only
reason girls hate sakura is because she still
love emoduck.
Yeah, everyone's just jealous of her. I just think it's funny to bash her for doing nothing useful.
side of things, some of which don't even
have personalitys. don't get me wrong, there
are a couple of really good OCs, probley only
one good uchiha I know. come on ppl, don't just make
an OC just so you can pare up with Naruto, Dark,
Kid or deidara(boom! :3)
And I LIKE your ocs. xp
Though I'm glad I'm finally gonna see them again.
ooooooooooooh Yami, how I've missed youuuuuuuuuuuuu~
I try not to throw any of my Naruto ocs in the main storyline, I do kinda what you said, throw them in their own story, but hint at stuff in the canon. Except for my ice ninja who totally crushes on Kisame, and her cousin who has a thing for Jugo. :1
Yay!
C: Ohoho yes, I know you've missed Yami. He and your love of him are mostly why I'm doing a mass reboot of them! xDDDDDD OC crushing on Cannon's okay if it makes sense, and if it doesn't, but in the best way, then it's okay! 8D
Ah, but that thing. I really dislike that too, when someone asks people to join groups they made for their ocs. Usually, you have no idea who these ocs are either, and 1) That's rude/irksome no matter how you look at it. 2) No matter how much you love them, others might not.
I have a good few Naruto ocs of my own that I've been working on. Most are Uchiha ocs, but the timeline they're in is when Fugaku's in his early twenties, so it's very plausible. XD If you wanna talk with someone though, I'm here! Always love seeing a good oc.
I am such a politeness/ettiquette nazi, but overlooking that, it's still impolite. I agree with you definitely.
I like the idea of them being set back when Fugaku was in his twenties! That's cool, and I agree with plausible! Have you written about or drawn them? I'd love to see!
Too many people think being polite or having etiquette makes you lame. It's actually pretty sad. :/ People always run past me or into me and stores, and never say sorry or excuse me... I dooo. ;-;
Heh, it's a really fun and interesting thing to play around with, and Fugaku is one of my top favorite Uchiha's too!

I have more, but its mostly repeats. XD
