I dunno about you but I think I am getting beaten by tyrannical stormtroopers. So to speak, of course.
I'd figure I'd at least get a warning so I could remove it myself. But NOOOOO!

My favorite part is this "Does not allow fictional characters who are underage to be depicted in this manner"

1. Should FICTIONAL characters really be your problem?
2. Underage? By what law? In Iceland, 14 year olds can have sex...as long as their partner is not over 24 years old. They are not even having sex in my drawing!
3. Which brings me here..."This manner"? Could you please define "this manner"? lol

Now, I am a bit annoyed about this as it was one of my more popular non-WG drawings. And I did put some of my heart into it like every other drawing.

So I am wondering. Should I do what Doc recommends? Should I post a "preview" on my page and then a link to photobucket? They can't hunt me there, can they?

Whatever the case, I do need to find that drawing. I think I have it somewhere on my laptop but I am not sure. Perhaps if any of you downloaded it, you can send it to me?


Oh, and I know I said I would do the journal 15 when I did the next journal but I don't really feel like it. I will do it later, ok?


EDIT: Funny enough, Animexpansion saved my ass. My drawing was uploaded there a while ago so I can use that copy if I can't find the original one! XD
