Regarding Ember's Redesign
9 months ago
General
Hello again, everyone!
Hello everyone.
I'm sure that all of you are wondering why she's green now.
I'll tell you what happened while maintaining some semblance of respect for all parties involved.
Ember is getting a redesign/being madeover.
What brought this change?
Gooborgs are not my species. When I was just starting out, I was reaching out to people and asking if they wanted a story. When I reached out to V (we will call her V) she offered to have Ember become a Gooborg.
A year or so passed since then. I've gotten a lot bigger. I've grown as a writer. I've gotten the courage to ask bigger and better artists and authors for collabs and trades.
One artist in particular, who will remain anonymous for this explanation, was one of them.
V does not like anonymous for personal reasons; therefore did not want me to collab with them in any way.
Now let me be frank with you all. I'm a nice guy. I'm very accommodating and patient. However, I do NOT tolerate someone trying to control my interactions with people due to personal reasons without validation.
So, even though I tried to make it work, I have decided to cut ties with V.
This left me in a particular spot. Ember is a Gooborg - V's species - her intellectual property.
As much as I'd like to be spiteful and petty, I'm taking the high ground and being polite. With the help of
MaracoArco, Ember has been completely redesigned. No longer a Gooborg, but a Duchess of The Hive. With no limitations on who I can collab with, trade with, GET ART FROM, OR EVEN TALK TO, Ember and I are free to do whatever the hell we please now.
Nothing will be changing.
Ember is still a gooey creature.
She still assimilates people (except it's corruption now, my favorite!)
And she's getting a little thicker.
Make no mistake. Even though I'm upset with this outcome, I am by no means upset or angry with V. I wish her the best in her endeavors and her future. Our opinions clashed and it was time for us to part.
All art, stories, and whatnot with Gooborg Ember will be considered retcon. I will NOT take them down, though. I worked hard on those stories, and those artworks with her (and my friends in some) are dear to me.
I will be writing a story to help signify this change. It's gonna be wild, meta, and 4th wall breaky, so look out for it.
So enjoy the NEW Ember design: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60030733/
TL;DR:
I cut ties with V, the owner of the Gooborg species
Ember is redesigned now to help signify the fact and separate her from her previous works.
It's mainly a redesign, 95% of everything is staying the same.

Either way, I think things are better this way.
Admittedly I was kinda wondering if something like this might happen some day, since this isn't the first time I've heard about stuff like this with her. She seems to have gotten better about it in recent years compared to some of the stuff I've heard, but evidently there's still growing to do.
It's unfortunate, since she seems to be a genuinely caring sort and has built up a really cool setting and community.
I'm glad you were able to take the high road here. And that you're not taking the Gooborg Ember stories down, since those were good stuff.
I'm not taking down the old ones, they're just not canon now. Perhaps, even part of Ember's overall arc, but I'm not thinking that far ahead. This is smut we're talking about; let's not be too serious.
