Most of my use of my characters comes from just thinking about them; imagining little stories without writing them down, or thinking about what their personality would be like, what they'd do in a certain situation. I might also sketch them out somewhere, but never upload the drawings. There are ways of using characters that you can't see on their page. ;)

Exactly Im fond of drawing them but the upload proscess is so tedious that I dont even do it most of the time. I see how having no storylin could be seen as hoarding characer so im going to go ahead and start mine but still.

I do see your piont about your fusona going to someone who has not so many characters, and I agree fully, if I were to get rid of linka I would do the same thing but it may tick off some people if you say people with over 30 characters cant be writing about them all. xD

With a ton of characters, I'd imagine that would end up getting rather difficult. I don't get the point behind having pages and pages of characters that you're just thinking about...I mean, not just YOU, but anyone. Unless you're headmating the character...

@Lirrie- Having an opinion might tick off some people, but oh well. It's an opinion. If they disagree, good for them? Because that's their opinion.

ah, I see. yes that makes much more sense.
I'd love to join and help moderate the boards to boot non-lit players >3 hehe n00bz
i mean >> uh... help to balance the threads?

Yes, I believe if you want your character to go to a good home you should be aloud to have some say in requirements, but you must also comply with the adoption agency's rules...

If you do donate a character you love... perhaps you should elaborate of what you would like done with the character. But after the character is adopted it is out of your hands.... so to say.

Lirrie--
If someone has wishes against a character being used I would assume it to be polite to comply with their desires.
There will be other characters, and there is nothing stopping you from finding another similar to it...
i should know that XD
:[ But to pursue one character and to metaphorically "beat a dead horse", is not only not productive, but it may actually hurt your chances in this case. For every excuse, no matter how valid it may be, only appears as another desperate attempt to have a character.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but why don't you look around in other places, try to find another character that fits your needs, and if you dont then you can always try out for this, just keep in mind that Mokapi may have some say in where the character goes.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion :3 it's what makes us unique. Some like chocolate ice cream, and some like strawberry.

There's not just one way to use a character.

After I write my form, my characters usually end up with a few stories afterwards, but unless I really get inspired I'm not going to write them down. I can have an incredibly detailed, long story in my head, but it'll be complete crap when I write it down. I've never been good at writing things down like that, so I just let the story continue but never share it with everyone else.

And most of my characters hardly fit into roleplays. Azizi, for example, is a gryph, but because of his history he still doesn't fit into most gryphon RPs. I can never find roleplays to fit my characters, so I normally don't roleplay them.

It looks like I neglect my characters, but they really do get plenty of use, just not in ways that other people would be able to see. My characters are for personal stories and for my own use, and I love them all anyways.

If I do donate her anywhere, I'll probably do it at The Agency...I believe they allow you to give permission to froms? Whereas TaN doesn't, and I don't want to break rules ^^;

This really wasn't directed at anyone here...more so at the people I see at EVERY adoption agency always quoting new donations and saying annoying things about have they HAVE to go after them because they HAVE to have them when they already have god knows how many unused characters on the side and they only want it so they can look at the art...-.-

And I'm not talking about someone who has ten or twenty characters...I'm talking about people who literally have so many that it's ridiculous. Maybe I'm the only one that finds paaages and pages of wolf and horse characters unnecessary, though. xD

Yeah that would get annoying after a while. It's just hard to tell who those people are though, because you never know just what kind of use they might be getting out of them.

Good piont but some of us use diffrent ways to show our love for me I draw and get them art I might do the occasionall story, think up a storyline throw it away because I dont like it, heck I have fanfic and junk I have gotten rid of simpley because I didnt like them. I think up possible storyline all the time but for me sticking with one is immpossible as I change my mind as much as I change clothes.

XD Plus as LBA im not going to beat a dead horse to death I will find another character more suited to my needs, its not meant to be then its not meant to be.

Lol I acctually wasnt still going on about the character though, what I was going on about was my pride was struck by what Makopi said. Thats a deep blow to strike to me, as I can be pridefull and it hurts me deeply to be told hey you cant gett it because you cant take care of what you already have, when ive been taking care of them.

I'm super excited! I've ordered art of Marzipan from Kuroyami. This is how it looks so far: Isn't she cute?

Would anyone be interested in trying for Sanjana, if she gets accepted?


...I really don't use the roleplays here on CS with any of my characters. I never want to join a RP when it already has a ton of posts, and the only roleplays that I can find usually involve: 'Katie the wolf walked into the woods and then i was sad.".... I would love to put some of my charries into a RP, but I just can't find a good one! Any good RP sites? I'd love to hear about them.
With the characters that I win/create, I usually write about them and order art of them. Once again, I would love to join a literate or semi-lit RP, but, as I said before, I can't find a suitable one. D:


Sparky: I may try out for the lovely blue and gold fox you made. <3

I agree with this I dont like ones already started becuase to simply put it I feel left out, I tried recently and the whole time I roleplayed was ignored even when I talked directly to a character, it only took one post to figure out it wasnt for me. I cant roleplay like that and Ive tried making my own rp. If there is such a site I wouldnt mind jioning it.
