F-List Announcement and Warning by darkflamewolf

I don't really ERP, let alone RP. I simply don't have time and I'd rather be spending that time on writing my books or spending time with friends/family/personal hobbies. However, it has come to my attention that at least two accounts (might be more) have been using art of my characters:

For Murana - an F-List account named Brooke Madison
For Taylor Renee - an F-List account named Alla Amore

At least the latter for Taylor had the decency to call themselves out as being an 'Art Borrower' despite not giving credit to any of the artists or the owner of Taylor. I'm not really pursuing any legal action, primarily because they aren't actively making money off my copyrighted intellectual property. It'd be no point and be a fruitless endeavor. They're just using them to get off with other people with words. (If they were profiting off them, that's a different story!) However, I did try to contact F-list support to see if they could help with taking down the pictures (close to 100 in total), but here was their response and I quote:

"Thank you for reaching out! I will be helping you with this takedown request. If you're the artist or owner of the art in question, then you may follow the instructions in our Art Takedown Policy (https://[their website]/Art_Takedown_Requests). For me to remove an image from a gallery, I do need some additional information: Step One: Proof of Identity: This is to prove you're the owner of the profile/page where you post your art offsite. This can be FurAffinity, DeviantArt, a social media site, or so on. You can do this by posting a status/journal with this ticket number [224749] on that site, then sending a link to that post in this ticket. Step Two: Proof of Ownership: This step is the most important! For each image you're requesting a takedown for, you must send us a link that proves that you own it. (So, if you were to request a takedown for 5 images, then you would need to include 5 links that show ownership, for example.) We do not take reuploaded pieces of art as proof of ownership. What we need is the original artist's upload of the art piece that should link to the identity verified in Step One."

So, basically, I would need to spend hours to provide the burden of truth to take down each and every single image that these F-list accounts have used (and there's a lot). Wasting my time for something so trivial. So, instead, I'm making more efficient use of my time to simply notify everyone of one thing:

tldr; I have not, nor will I use F-list. I do not ERP/RP. If you somehow come across anyone claiming to be me or any of my characters as their own as they proceed to fuck you with their words in hot, steamy online sessions - I guarantee you, it is not me. It will not be me. That is all. :)

    It's unfortunate to hear about the situation with your characters' art on F-list. Your decision not to pursue legal action and instead inform others about the misrepresentation is understandable. Hopefully, people will be cautious and aware of the situation. If there's anything else you'd like assistance with or discuss, feel free to let me know.
