Author notes

Friends in Strange Places

First note: she is not an autobiographical character, I just gave her my nickname because I wanted to use the name for a character for a long time, before I had it for my name here. Previously my name was Zerlocke and he certainly isn't an author-insert! After drawing her the first time I decided I wanted to dye my hair like hers, which explains me "avatar" appearance in CTV. Previously it was red stripes, not just the bangs. Also I gave her the hairdo I'd just come up with. Beyond those few traits, she isn't me. I tried to express this to no avail…people thought she was me anyway, and when this got reviewed several people implied I was a necrophiliac (jerks!) and what's worse they "didn't see where they insulted me" when I told them such accusations were uncalled for. I don't think I'll ever live that down since this came at a time that I was already in deep depression. It'd be nice if people excercised a little tact sometimes…internet madness is no excuse for internet rudeness
