User blog comment:Smash The Echidna/A guide to Fan Characters and Roleplaying./@comment-5142578-20130119073729

Hey, I just wanted offer an idea about the topic of Official Character Relations.

The solution you gave is to have the users keep their characters unrelated to the canon characters at all times. But, what if some of the users (like myself, to a small extent) wanted their character to have their relationship with one of the official characters without interfering with other users character's offical relationships? This is the answer I came up with: Have the character exist in two universes. The first universe being the user's universe. The second being the "Fanon Universe".

Let me give you an example of what I'm trying to say. Let's take my character Static the Cat as an example. In my universe, he is Blaze the Cat's boyfriend. However, in the Fanon Universe (where all other users can participate in roleplays and whatnot), Static is NOT Blaze's boyfriend. Instead, he is in a romantic relationship with one of the fanon characters: Crymson the Cat (and yes, I have CrymsonShokwave's permission for this pairing.)

The point I'm trying to say is this: The user can have whatever relationship with the official characters he/she wants within his/her own universe only. However, their character's relation to the offical charcters should be altered within the "Fanon Universe" so that he/she/it doesn't have a relation to the official character, thus preventing characters from having conflicting lineages, pairings, etc.

So, this way, a user can have his/her character related to one of the Official Characters, but, at the same time, without interfering with someone else's character relations.

What do you think? Does this make any sense?
