No, I just wanted clarification if the people here were still telling people I hadn't met Monty. That is all, and that answer is sufficient enough to come off as an apology. The issue is over and done with now. It's my bad that I brought the issue back up again, I'll agree with you on that. I'm sorry. Really, I am. Flora, you're fine. You keep doing your thing, I'll keep doing mine.

(Yeah, I know I was being pretty hostile with the psuedo-apology. I should never type things while I'm half-asleep.)

I do agree that traces, recolors, and the like ruin the definition of "OC", which is why whenever I see such things, I try to provide and help people out online with scrapping obviously copied characters and giving them a good critique, as well as suggesting changes to their character to make it more original and less like a direct clone. That is something I learned from you guys, and I'm thankful for that since I've had to fix my own characters mostly in part to the guides and segments provided here on the Fanon Wikia. I appreciate the efforts you guys made to change me, and even though it was done harshly, it really did benefit me in the long run. I can't thank you enough for that, and making relatively balanced characters has become a fun pastime for me. Thank you.

Who knows? Maybe I'll come back to Fanon chat and we can converse together about OC stuff again. No complaints from me, just casual conversation. I've just been insanely busy with projects and stuff that I haven't the time to go onto Wikia anymore. Either way, I thank you both for the replies and hope you two have a good day.

See you soon, I guess.
