That is fine. I thank you. :) *hugs* I was just in a defensive mood all yesterday, seeing all these posts about the topic, and I couldn't help but think some of the things some people were saying were directed at me. Dx I know yours wasn't. I <3 you. It's just some other people's posts...bothered me and made me think they were hating on me and such. And just some comments that were almost talking down to me like I was an idiot and should've known better.
Anyway, thanks for heeding my request and changing the link. :) It's not like people can't just go and see the other post anyway cause it'll be there lol. I guess I just didn't want anymore attention on that one. XD
Believe me, I didn't want to offend you. I was merely keeping some kind of log of the situation and didn't present your post in a bad light. I can understand what you went through emotionally, but you were among the few I know that's gotten the really short end of the stick and talked about it; I wanted to include a link to that so that others won't get to see only second-hand stories (a.k.a. stories from those not directly involved).
As you requested, I removed that link and replaced it with the one you suggested (of course I can't keep it up when you don't want to! ^^"). The rules weren't clear (and, for the most part, still aren't), and from the few replies I managed to glance over while replying to your first post, you got compassion and support. You weren't hated, I don't know where you got that impression from.
Lol. I am so tired of seeing posts on this stuff now. XD I know I am one of them, but I simply was posting to rant about what happened, not cause a whole thing of drama...but it seems other people are like indirectly mentioning me as being a whiner or stupid because jeez I "should've known that fanart wasn't allowed." I'm tired of being told that. I never directly used pixiv, and the majority of my cards have actually been from official scans, not "fanart," so ugh. I am tired of people seeing me and others that have ranted about their cards being deleted as bad guys simply because we're mad about this...and apparently we shouldn't be mad because all of the rules have been there all along, out in the open. *rolls eyes* I am not saying you said any of this. lol...I just needed to vent on that first. XD Anyway...
You made a good post...it's helpful. Lol. I'd rather you not link to my post though. XD; I appreciate it, but honestly, I am tired of all the drama, and I don't want MORE people reading my post and complaining about what's been said. Is that ok? ^^; I know I've been told not to delete my posts, but I am so tempted to do so again! I do NOT like drama, and I didn't intend to cause more drama by doing my own rant about my cards being deleted. But uh, I can't stop you. If you want to keep the link to my post there, that's fine.
Take care~
P.S. I just did a new post kind of just wrapping this whole situation up...if you want, you can link to that one instead. XD

Thank you, I loved reading your as well, especially the fifth paragraph :3
That is a problem, but I'm guessing it'd fall under the fan art category since the artists aren't making profits off their art and just showing it off. Now, if they were to sell it, it would become doujinshi (of course, with the original artists' permission; otherwise, it'd be plagiarism).
I could go on about this all day, but I have to stop to breathe sometimes c:
Alright, stop being so awesome okay.
Though I still think (yes, I'm going to insist on this matter) that there's, uhm, an empty spot on original artwork done by non publised mangakas. Is this considered as fanart? Here yes, but I just think there's a massive confusion on the terms (yes, words) that are being used. The term "fanart", imo, is not being used correctly here, but you managed to explain it amazingly.
Great job on this post :3
Aw yeah! *high fives* I didn't even get a notif yet! WE ARE PSYCHIC.
And I'll be editing this post to link to yours, it's exactly what people need to know now when they think 2012 has come early.
