It’s happened to me before… a lot more in the past when all I RPed was OCs, but it still happens on occasion – side characters that I’ve invented as part of Hakuba’s backstory or whatever, which is… weird…
But back in the day, I’d RP on places with OCs and post art of them and snippets of info, then find out that people were taking them and RPing them other places and it was just really… really… really awkward.
I mean, yay I’m glad you like my art and characters but uh hey those are mine. I worked very hard on them.
AND ONCE… way back in the day… an ex of mine took my character and drew porn of her and sold it at an online auction place and I contacted the staff and they didn’t do a thing about it so I never used them ever and was pissed. 8)
Crappy stories.
Why can’t people make their own stuff up?
