User blog:DearlySkies/Whining Dani Ramblings (Concerning A Rule)

'''I ran out of space in my current Google Drive so I couldn't write this there but I thought I would share with the Fanon. These are personal opinions about the rules and such (well... Only one in particular really). I'm really sorry about such a critique in this fashion.'''

I was going through the RWBYFanon Guidelines/ Rules with a friend last night and we found a rule that we didn't entirely agree with. I know it's all up to the admins (and now I probably sound like a whining bitch) and all that be I talked about it with a friend but it regards, I think, all canonical characters. I understand that it's up to the Reviewer's discretion but here's what I don't really like too much about this rule;
 * DISCRETION: Weapons cannot copy a Canonical Characters weapon too closely, this is left at the Reviewers discretion on what they deem as too close.

This rule, while it is rather loose, seems to apply to all canon characters. Yes, it does say if it resembles the weapon too closely but since this is applying to all characters in canon and their weapon, it's going to be hard to come up with weapon ideas after a while. Considering we haven't seen Scarlet and Sage yet, I'm doubting that this is going to be the end of new RWBY canon characters.

Alternative: I personally think (back to bitchy whines and stuff) that it should apply to major characters. Teams and characters such as Cinder Fall, Team RWBY, Team JNPR, (possibly Roman), soon Adam Taurus... Characters who are closely related to Team RWBY or play a big part in the plot.

I'm not saying that this is the best alternative or that we should revoke the rule, I just think if it applies to all canon characters, it's going to be tough in a few months. Again, this rule is up to the Admins on accepting or not and I understand that.

Sorry for being a hu8e 8itch and taking your time with this whiney post.
