Stamp

Description

I do not care about your OC, or that you support someone else's OC, or that you support your OC with an official character. Guilty of doing the canon character/OC thing, but I don't flaunt it and beat it like a dead horse.

Anyhow, actually, I quite like OCs. I support my friend's OCs, too, but I like to think that I don't need a stamp to show them that. Really, I'd be uncomfortable if someone made a support stamp for one of my OCs (especially after making this)! It just seems to pointless and arrogant. Why should you have to TELL people through a stamp that you support your OCs or your friend's OCs, or whatever? Especially if it's your own, now that's just arrogant.

This was just a quickie made in Photoshop, it's not really meant to be pretty or anything. I'm not aggarvated or anything it's just a bit obnoxious seeing all these character or canon character/OC clubs and now stamps, too. ><;

This is not meant to go and insult people who've made such things, y'know, it's their choice and obviously they differ in opinion. Just my thoughts on the matter.

ETA (11/13/10): It's been four years since I submitted this stamp and I still frequently receive notifs and comments regarding it; therefore, I believe that it's time to clear up a few misconceptions:

Some people who use this stamp may be against OCs and/or OC/canon character ships as a whole. They may also use it because they dislike mary-sues. They're free to both dislike OCs , Mary Sues and/or OC/canon character ships and to use this stamp as a way of showing that, I really don't mind and even encourage them to do so; however, the original intention behind this stamp was for me to vent my frustration about the multitude of support stamps and clubs for other people's characters, many of which it seemed as though the artist made exclusively to toot their own horn, so to speak.

I am still against such things and my opinion on that matter is not going to change; however, that does not mean that I personally dislike OCs as a whole. In fact, I have a few of my own and have found many that I enjoy (though I'll admit that I've never been a fan of OC/canon ships and I doubt that I'll ever be swayed when it comes to that particular issue.) I don't want to see people stop making them. I simply have no interest in the ego stroking that many creators seem to seek out. They won't stop doing so on my account, and I don't expect them to, but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to speak my own personal feelings on the matter.

If you've read the above and still feel that you have something to add, feel free to leave a comment: I may or may not respond, depending on whether or not you catch me online, but I will definitely read it and will at least try to take it into consideration, especially if you disagree with me, and I will try and clear up any misconceptions that might arise in the future.
