Ngl Stressato (Stressed Papyrus) is kinda a test run for seeing how my OCs are perceived by people, and so far so good! People seem to like him. Thank you Undertale AU community, very cool
I’m not sure if I’ll post my main OCs on here much considering they’re from a novel I’m working on and I’m *terrified* of content theft since this is such a major project. I’ve been working on this book since September 2023 and it’s really important to me. I’ve been published a few times in short story magazines, and self published a novella on Amazon, but I’m hoping this will be my first full-length professionally published book. It’s a big deal to me and I don’t want to risk anything.
I’m also kinda scared of fandoms? Maybe it’s a bit egotistical of me to assume my OCs/book would have any sort of fanbase… but that would be cool! However, fanbases can be scary and I would hate for my writing to be misunderstood, watered-down, viewed with wrong intentions, etc. Creative writing is subjective and everyone takes away different meanings from a text, but it’s still nerve-wracking when people think differently about your character than you do.
Also shipping!!! Shipping wars are uncomfortable!! (Back to Stressato, I give permission to ship him with any non-Sans adult male character, but obviously I can’t control what people do with him. That’s another mildly scary thing, I guess.)
ANYWAY. All this is to say that Stressato is here to test the waters for how my OCs are received online, and so far I am really happy with the outcome, but I’m still scared to post more about my main OCs due to content theft, misunderstandings regarding their story, and shipping.
idk why im posting this its not really relevant at all ok bye
