fucking internet.....

i consider myself a fairly open minded person, and quite an easy guy to talk to.  when people want to share my pictures and strips, i take it as a compliment.  when people want to do fanarts i take it as an even greater one.

when people want to trace my stuff or use it as a reference, i say, go for it. if it helps you learn something, awesome!

when people want to edit something of mine and take the moment to ask me to do it, i usually say yes

we are all different, we all have our own little fetishes, and mine being bdsm, who the fuck am  i to judge.

but recently i have been sent a link of one of my pictures, ally and lisa as a ponygirl one edited to be a guy....and it pissed me off.
not because the picture was edited, hell not even because whoever did it ended up putting their own website watermark to it... fuck it

what pissed me off is that the person who did it couldn't take a second to ask could he or she do it. just basic  respect
cause the funny thing is, i would have said yes. we are all weird in our own way.

hell even if i got asked now, retroactively i would still allow it, its the finding out from others that annoys me

so, if you happen to see that picture, know that is was made without permission. and that, ladies and gentlemen.. is rare

also to clarify,  fanarts, im flattered by them. their existence  means i am doing something right with this story. i merely want to be warned if someone will edit my pics. hell i have given permission for that before. latest one was when a fellow deviant asked if he or she could change the colors on allycat avatar for a friend. then  this person doesn't have to justify the edit, and i dont have a swarm of notes to reply to XD



purpose of this journal btw is to be a sort of a collective reply to a growing number of notes about that picture. i don't really plan on hunting anyone down on the internet. just want to save myself the trouble of replying to the repeating note by just linking this post XD
