'I think people get jealous . . . when someone does something they wanted to do but haven't yet. And they feel it forecloses any possibility of them ever doing it and not being judged by what someone else has done.'

What happened to y/n on art fight? They're gone!

Looks like some details still break rules, like the Freddy head on the jacket for SL Y/N which is not something that can be taken away from the character, even if its a fan character

Also, Y/Ns ARENT allowed on artfight, it looks like. I know some folks said that it would be allowed, but artfight chimed in and says that it would kinda ruined the spirit of the game so it had to be removed.

edit: from the message the mods sent me:

so yeah I was told there were ‘create-an-oc’ stuff where it’d kinda fall into that catagory but if it ruins the spirit of artfight i guess not

Ah well, sorry guys! I thought I was told it was alright but guess not, no Y/N for artfight :(

i know - i know - that querying involves a lot of rejections, and by god have I got them, but I got a rejection from an agent I really thought would like my og book and i feel really, really, really discouraged right now. :/

Lord Vetinari looked attentive, because he'd always found that listening attentively to people put them off.
