i do NOT think trading is a bad thng at all! trading, even using designs for trading fodder is an integral part of the adopt couminity and is very beneficial to it. however i am uncomfortable recieveing trades/offers on my characters right now and wish to warn those who would potentially offer art, adopts, or money for them.


i'm sorry for this journal, but this needs to be said.  most of you can disregard this thankfully.
i have been getting a number of offers on my adopted characters via note, and it's starting to get on my nerves.

i love all my characters, adopted or otherwise.  it pains me to not have the time or resources to draw out and commission art of them and give them the attention they all deserve.

if i feel the need to part with one of my characters, i will give them to a trusted friend that i know will take care of them.  otherwise i will put up a for trade/sale journal.  
i am very reluctant to trade/gift with people i don't know and trust.  this is because of an incident where i had bought and gifted a beautiful design to someone, and that person turned around and used them for trading fodder.  the experience has left me uncomfortable with trades and trading in general.

if you still feel the need to put an offer on my characters after reading this, please title the note something along the lines of "offering for [character]".  the most upsetting for me is getting notes entitled "hi <3" and have it being about an offer on one of my precious characters.

once again i am so sorry for the nature of this journal, but i need to post these concerns publicly.  i can't put up with it anymore.

No need to say sorry for this journal, Cloud! :hug:
I agree 100% with you. People should stop asking for characters if the owner didn't say they want to trade/sell them in the first place.
I hope people will stop asking you from now on.
