you are right.. i mean.. sure i used to FREEHAND a drawing once in a while.. but i dont do that any more, because i practice, and i dont need to freehand from a pic.. i only have like 2 pics that i did it to.. i hate tracing.. its so gay.. but anyways, good point you got to there! ^^

 I agree.  Those suck.

have you seen youtube? Thats like Chainletter land

Dear god, I've been trying to get people to see this for months. I see pictures that are obviously traced, but people don't admit it. Tey leave it up and get compliments on it. I tell them to take it down, or at least give the original artist credit, and they yell at me. Urrrgh.

Do you mind if I link to this chapter on my profile?

Go ahead.

I see people tracing and editing all the time. First, I leave a comment gently explaining that it's against the rules and asking to take it down. Then, when they don't cooperate, I just PM an admin with the link so they can take care of it. With some of the repeat offenders, I just report them and don't leave a comment.

Thanks :3

Ha ha, I almost completely agree with you. However, there are some kinds of stories that simply can't be pulled of any other way.

Anyhoo...*faves*

Praise you so much! People really need to learn how to write! I have fic of my own every time I save, I CHECK IT FOR ERRORS!!! Yeah sometimes i forget or don't see something, but at least it's decently written. But the part about writing like a play...I write like that...only because I saw everyone else doing it -_- Shame on me! Still these rants of yours are awesome! They speak the truth so all those idiots out there can learn! 

yeah, i always draw my own stuff....prolly why its so bad lololol.

But at least you draw it.

ROFL, omg that cracks me up. i love seein people go crazy. but on the subject yes i totaly agree, i hate them.

yea they are so anoying!!!

Yeah! I'm glad people actually agree with me!

I think people need to know this. This ought to be put on the index page or something.

Yeah!

i completly agree with what you say.

Thanks!

i hate chain letters too!
they are so friggin annoying!

Yeah, when I got flamed, nearly every other word was a cuss. Like you said, I think these people were raised in barns.

I know I already commented, but I am just so glad someone finally is speaking the truth! I just had 3 or 4 people flame me for telling them or one of their friends that their traced/edited art isn't allowed on here. Good job kitty, good job.

I hate people like that!!that happened to me once at an art show >:(

!!!!
.........That was me............I'm SUCH a moron! I feel lower than garbage right now...I am sooo sorry. I'm just having a really hard time with my relationship, and hearing about all those nice stories made me think-- Oh, there I go again!! I AM SO PATHETIC!!!

it's ok, just please don't do it again.

ill never send one to u or no one and I dont know how^_^

That's good!

I totally agree with all of these. People are just so stupid these days. It's up to people like us to show those dummies how to behave properly. And if they don't like it or flame us, then we'll just have to keep trying!! *faves story*

Yeah, I know! People are so stupid! I mean, I'm not that good of an artist, but I try my best! And I don't trace or anything, because that's just wrong!! And like you said, it's clearly outlined in the rules you had to agree to to register! I doubt many people actually read those rules, but I did! Good job, exposing the truth!

Very sorry! T_T I got that chain letter, made a wish, then realized it wouldn't come true unless I sent it to people! I'm kinda stupid that way. Please forgive me!

no problem. people make mistakes.

Whoa, you are so right. People are total idiots sometimes. I have read your whole thing, and I totally agree. This has inspired me to start my own rant story. Which I'm starting now. *favs*

yeah, people are real idiots. well, a lot of people anyway. Thanks for the comment and fave!

Grrr... that's why I wish ppl were born smart. 1. We wouldn't have to go to school 2. there wouldn't be as many idiots in the world. Some still, but maybe not as many. Yer welcome ^^
