Hey all. Remember that story, "The Great Kau Caper" I wrote? Well, Feli wrote back and told me to change the names of Bonnie and Clyde because, since I based them LOOSELY on real people, I had to do a rewrite. So now they are Connie and Sly. ;D I don't believe that! I mean, on an episode of "Lilo and Stitch," Lilo named two of Stitch's cousins Bonnie and Clyde too! Yet when I do it, I might offend people? WHO AM I OFFENDING?!?!? Well, first, did she really say that the reason was you might offend someone? Or did she just say you couldn't use the names? Second, Neopets isn't Disney. If it was, we could have characters kissing and professing their love, violence, and talking petpets with no problem.  |

*happy dance* Yayness! My friend in real life got a picture consideration e-mail, so we're both ecstatic. We've been bouncing around all day. Felicia, if you're reading this, my friend is totally in a "wow" moment, and I don't think I've ever seen her this excited about something...thank you so much.  |

Seeing the Bonnie and Clyde thing gets me wondeing. Can I not use Clyde and Bonnie now or do I have to rename them? Cause I think people would be confused if I did.

THAT IS SO AWESOME! Hehe...I know. ^^ I helped edit her stories and stuff, and she helped with mine, so we're both equally excited for this. You should've heard her on the phone...she was literally off the wall! [glow=red,2,300]Congrats to Eri and her friend!!![/glow] Tee-hee...thank you so much, Rider. She's a fan of yours, by the way. |

Do you HAVE to get an image request for your story to get in? I haven't gotten one... darn... ah well, she might not have read it yet, or whatever...
*Hopes for the best*

Well, I hope I got in... although I'm pretty new to this, I thought it was quite a good story! Not that I'm a show-off ;D

If it was, we could have characters kissing and professing their love, violence, and talking petpets with no problem. Hm...I never thought of that. Well, she just said she didn't want to RISK offending anyone. I guess that makes sense. Just trying to be funny. At least she didn't catch on that I based Nelson from "Babyface Nelson!" |
