I'm suddenly curious! Mostly since the corner of the community I pay the most attention to has designs being traded and sold left and right, and seeing them used seems to matter when deciding to keep them or not.

But what does using your character mean to you?

Like - of mine, most all I've drawn at least once and loved to draw those times I did, but very few have been debuted so far.... And then I don't exactly rp or write about them in any kind of prose, but I love to just talk about them and the lives they lead between my friends and I. And still more are kind of just abstract concepts that floated to mind (or into my possession) one day and never left, that have no real stories, but that... doesn't matter, I still love 'em.

Granted we're only talking 14 18 OCs here, 6 adopted, but sometimes I wonder if I'm doing it wrong afskfkl
