Impersonators, Imposters, & Ill-Gotten Gains
11 years ago
My stance on reusing my character whole cloth for any sort of RP is that doing such is not kosher with me. This means RPing as me, impersonating me, or any other form of RP activity with out explicit written permission. Please do not do it.
Obviously I can't control the Internet at large and I am sure that someone somewhere is doing terrible RP as me on Facebook or something. I don't have the energy to go after all of them (though I would like to). It also is a bit of a thorny issue in the realm of copyright, reuse, and what really is original work anyways? I'm strongly in favor of anything artistic and creative so if someone is inspired by me that is all well and fine in my book. Be inspired and creative and do something for your personal growth instead of just wholesale copying.
I am also against anyone using my commissioned artworks as references or for character looks even if not directly impersonating me. This especially means re-uploads of art I have commissioned to F-List or any similar RP focused site. If you really can't find any way around it, link to the image in my gallery on FA or the artist's gallery and explain what similarities there are and so on. That seems to me like the most respectful way to handle things of that nature. Directly asking is one too. I have no opinion on my commissioned artworks ending up on any Booru or archive or tumblr or whatever. They ought to be enjoyed. It gives me a smile when I'm given a good word about how someone appreciates what comes out of my mind.
If you know of other imposters or individuals reusing my artwork or posing as me then I would appreciate having them reported to me so that I can add them to my list. You can find most of my contact details on my FA profile.
Accounts which are mine:
https://www.weasyl.com/~azazial
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/azazial/
https://www.f-list.net/c/Azazial (I do not go to any other RP sites, so be suspicious if you see someone claiming to be me)
I have a Taps account but I do not log in there on a regular basis. I don't (currently) have any other MU* accounts.
FurNet IRC as "Azazial". Fastest and best way to reach me short of calling my cellphone.
I do have an SL account but I have not used it in ages so be suspicious of anyone on SL claiming to be me, particularly if the account isn't many years old.
My only email address is Azazial[at]gmail.com
Known accounts impersonating or posing as me:
Skype handle "Azazialfur". Active user as far as I can tell because I have gotten multiple instances of someone reporting them to me inadvertently.
FurFling user "Azazial" is not me. http://furfling.com/azazial That site is super gross, too.

Bunny. xD
But you might want to look at this.
Not sure if it's yours or not, but I doubt it since I just found your actual one via your F-List.
