Rules:

Please be honest: There's no point doing this if you're not.
Each 'yes' is worth one point. Each 'no' is worth nothing. Tally the score to get the end result.
So, get you're pen and calculator out; time to see how bad your character really is!

When someone tells me they don't like him/her, it's hard for me not to take it as a personal attack.

RESULTS:
PART 1: They have my nose. (Out of 18)

4-8: Watch it. It's still somewhat okay, but do be careful...

PART 3: Cower in fear. (Out of 24)

Well, a lot has happened in the past...age that I've been gone from this site.
1. I have been diagnosed with Ehler's Danlos Syndrome
2. I am now in a kickass wheelchair
3. The condition has also affected my heart, so I'm to stay out of stressful environments and the like
4. I'm still making my game, so theres that.
5. Like I mentioned previously, my OCs have officially moved OUT of the Sonic universe and are now in their own lil universe I created. But they're all still there, Lyssa, May, Alyss, ect
6. I might still post some art if tu guys arent too adverse to humans being publicado (and if tu are I totally would understand)
7. SHORT STORIES EVERYWHERE. tu GET A SHORT STORY. tu GET A SHORT STORY
8. I still don't do art trades o requests so...don't ask lol.
Have a missed a lot here? I've been semi-updated on the Tak incident (in fact thats why I came back) but is there anything else I need to know?

I'd like to come out and say it. I respect the members here. But the main group which includes my subject of interest, Tak is quite the puzzling equation. I mean if its true that these rules, The rules that make non content spewing people, basicly useless as a fan of what they like, are agreed por the majority. I shall apologize deeply and rest my case, cutting the loss. Now let me be clear. This man dicho too me in argument, " people grew up". Now if im not mistaken, freedom is not a child's plaything. Freedom to have fun with your fandom, is an all age experience. Of course tu have to make a living. But does anyone ever get punched for haveing fun o simply posting whats on your mind, no? Want to to know why? Because look at the big corporations. Twitter!, Facebook, Youtube. Do not let old fanpop die. Remember back when people had fun and not business. tu could call it a simpler time...I call it a better time. Now, I may here your results.
