Avians

I am not angry at anyone, this is just a notice
A lot of people have been asking me lately to make avian characters. and well I am always having a hard time saying no to everyone since I always feel as if I am being mean. And I hate being mean.

So I put up a FAQS hoping that people would read that and maybe get the answer for the question before they ask me.

Thus I repeat, Please no not make avian characters... I love seeing fanart of the avians, I just don't want there to be many characters... Like the avians are extinct and I feel it would be mean to make a whole bunch of characters that are dead already in my story.
I always tell my friends this when they make avians.

Avians are like a gift I reserve for my friends, since I usually don't have much time to draw them stuff, as I wish I had much more time to do. T_T but if I let just anyone make avians then it would no longer be a special gift to my friends.
Look I even made it so that people could make characters of the avian subspecies.

Hey maybe if you showed me you cared enough about the avians, I prolly wouldn't mind a half-blood avian (half human-half avian)

Though I understand your reasoning and desire to do this, you're going to have a bugger of a time enforcing it. Unfortunately, if it's on the Internet, it's a target, and there will always be people who will want to purposefully thieve because they can and then those that are two ignorant to see if they can before they do. :hmm:

Then again, you have some help in popularity. People know they are yours and so they know who to come back to if they find them misued.

No worries from me, though. I can't draw. :XD:

I really don't see what people don't get about this. How hard is it to back off and let a person have something special? I mean, seriously. Bugger off the rants at Ty and find something useful to do, like making your own special critter thing. Mkay? Thxbai.

And good for you for standing up for your avians, Ty! One hundred percent on your side, girly! I just wish everyone could just follow your wishes on this and not be tards. :(

First of all, before you read this, I hope you're not thinking "who the hell is this?!" because I am one of those rude/lazy people who rarely comments on stuff unless I have the time.

I'd like to express to you my love for this species you've created, they look really awesome as does the sub-species you've kindly created for those who aren't allowed to make their own Avian characters.

However, maybe it's because I didn't completely get what you were trying to get across or something, but asking this of the public is kind of difficult, is it not?
I'm not hating on you, I personally have no time to draw anymore anyways :P
But asking this is kind of asking people not to draw dragons or unicorns anymore. Someone made up those creatures (although some may argue...) and how many people do you see making up their own characters even though 1) Unicorns are supposedly all gone 2) Dragons too.

I can understand you feeling protective (and sorry if that usage of the word offends you) over this species you made up for your friends and comic, but I personally think you need to really relax and let the fanworks flow. Artists thrive on fanwork, don't they? It's like people making OC characters for Naruto or Bleach in fanfiction. It's going to happen even if people say there's only 16 Akatsuki members (I don't really know...) but there WILL be 100000 OCs anyways.

Anyways, power to you and I hope you don't get too upset at me for writing this even though we haven't met or chatted at all. Just stating an opinion :)

I don't think you got the point at all

Hmm :/

Well hold on a moment, because I DO want to get the point. Just tell me to stfu though, if you feel I am getting too annoying.

You want these Avians to be a species restricted to you and a few of your close friends because you want it to be something special right?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, and I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression in that long post.

I'm just saying that, it's going to be hard, asking something like that from people and I can see why some people can't accept it. Because as far as they see it, you're telling them they can't do fanwork. That's excluding use in other unrelated RPs, stories and such of course. But maybe they want to write a fanstory with their own Avians?

Oh and one thing to add to that:

Of course, if they claim they created the Avian species or give it another name and say "hay its my made up animal!", they should burn in hell while the rest of us laugh maniacally :D

It's sad that people have been creating them without permission. And what a grand gift to your friends, allowing them to create one. It is a shame that everyone is taking advantage of the species or cloning it.

I hope this journal helps you get it straight with everyone. <3

Ugh people that are getting upset by that must not be too bright. D: I totally get what you're saying.

I believe you gave me permission to make an avian a while back, right? Once I get the time, I'll most likely make one. :D Because I simply love this species. And your avians obviously mean alot to you, so I'll be sure to put alot of heart and effort into it, & I'll show you when I finish (:

But if theres a problem with people creating avians when that time comes, I wont post it if you dont want me to.<3


p.s. I hope things are going well for you (:
