Thread "100th page: My brilliant idea! I ask permission, though..." in forum "Comic Talk and General Discussion *"

Posted at 8:09PM, Sep. 18, 2006

Alright, I've decided that for my 100th page in SoS, I'm going to use it to kick off a brand new sotry arc.
Why is this story arc so special?

BECAUSE…

It is DrunkDuck oriented, and will feature alot of everyone's characters.
a few authors too!

So, I'm going ot ask you up front: do you have a problem with me using your characters in my comic?
(just so you know… anyone who DOESN'T post here, I will consider them to have said "yes". so until you make it clear, you're fair game, in my book.)

And YES, everyone will receive due credit for thier characters and ideas.

(Mimarin, you had BETTER say yes, or my entire idea falls through the floor. You're the bad guy.)

Uhm..I wouldn't mind if you used Artemis considering he's my only real character up xD Or me ;D…JK..?
That's if you want too! @@! <3!

Who's gonna stop ya?

So long as you're not abusing the characters, I think most people would be thrilled.

As the author of a comic that uses the characters of authors, it would be pretty hypocritical of me to deny your request. In saying that, go ahead

Posted at 4:09AM, Sep. 19, 2006

now, the only problem I can foresee aside from key authors denying me usage, would be to figure out a way to use as many characters from people's comics as possible…

^^; I don't think anyone's going to say "No", unless they're very particular about the "universe" of their characters. I certainly have no problem with it. ^^

Do what I'm doing now. A bus! Or at least a social gathering. Like a con.

Do whatever you want with the leech, Jack and Lantern, or CPKM.

Posted at 10:09AM, Sep. 19, 2006

no prob. it's like fanart except with alot of people's characters.

Posted at 1:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

i think thats a great idea for you 100th page. I say just go for it, i doubt anyone wont let you use their characters. I know i wouldnt.

Posted at 1:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

Go nuts. My character's probably one of the easiest ones to draw as long as you've played Pac-Man. Don't use the one in my comic as a main reference, since that's the older version.
Here's the current version of him.

whoa, nice. Brilliant idea indeed ^^

Posted at 3:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

I'd be thrilled if you'd use my characters, but don't if you don't want to.

Posted at 4:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

This might make you sad, but I'm tempted to say you can't use Kit. Not because of anything you've done wrong, but because -I myself- often feel weird putting Kit in my own comic for various reasons, and I wouldn't want to…mess with that? Mostly because it could be more than a one-page cameo…and…I dunno, I have trouble pinpointing my misgivings, but they're there in my own comic too…

I'll ask him, though, and let you know if he's chill with it.

Anyone else is fine!

Posted at 4:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

Of course I say yes, and how could I possibly be the bad guy? I'm so happy and agreeable!

Posted at 5:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

This sounds amazing. USE MY CHARACTERS PLEASE.

Posted at 6:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

You know, if you hadn't made at least one Blues Brothers reference, I wouldn't let you use my characters. But seeing as you have… and because you seem like a good enough guy… sure, you can use 'em.

But just this once. And don't use them in any jokes about video games. Those are just lame.

~IJ

PS: No Star Wars jokes, either.

Sneh.

(Translation: "Yes, you can use my characters.")

Posted at 6:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

You can use mine, but doubt it'd really be worthwhile. But keep up the comiking!

Posted at 7:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

WOW!
alright, guys, I'm going to say right off the bat: I MIGHT NOT be able to use EVERONE'S characters.
So if you get left out, please don't feel sad.

But this is going to become a complete storyline of EVIL!

Posted at 8:09PM, Sep. 19, 2006

You can use mine from Nonsensical Ravings if you like. As long as you stay somewhat similiar to their personalities, which doesn't matter too much, since they're still loosely defined.

This calls for emo Joe, minion of darkness!

(Just so you know for the future, you should personally ask the people who own the characters you intend on using for permission rather then doing it on the forum like this. Not everyone may read this or notice it and then they would be consenting to your use of their characters unknowingly, at least according to you. Clearly, they wouldn't have really consented at all. That's not a good thing.)

trust me. it's not a bus.

also, alejkhan, pretty much everyone who was vital to the storyline said yes, so I feel pretty safe with this. (phew! :-D )

I am not posting in this thread so that you will assume you have my permission to use any of my characters for this momentous milestone.

But I wanted to post here to say that these are always really fun ideas. Make sure you notify one of the admins when it comes out so we can link it on the main page.
