Word came in overnight from MCVUK of Notch's announcement of a settlement with Bethesda regarding Scrolls. More info: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/bethesda-and-mojang-settle-on-scrolls-lawsuit/092600

Good morning, zam. Some of you might have noticed that in my posts I often express annoyance towards stupidity, zam. But sometimes I can be pretty dumb myself, zam. For example, this question I'm asking, zam. What's the point of fan characters? zam? I feel like I'm missing something, zam. Even though I created fan characters myself, zam. Back when I was a younger zam. To this day I still don't know why, zam. I've still got two characters I class as fan characters at the moment, zam. But I only use them as my art gallery mascots, zam. They don't have any storyline or past connected to them, like other FCs would have, zam. I also did deliberately make them have a strong resemblance to Sonic and Tails, zam. I guess it is a good way to feel closer to the characters, zam. But I feel like some people may take it too seriously, zam. Like if an FC has been created to have a love interest with *insert name here* only to have a new official character be a love interest for *insert same name here* resulting in rage from the FCs creator, zam. I'll admit that it does annoy me sometimes, when a fan character gets more attention than the official ones, zam. But I have seen some really cool ones, so I can understand why, zam. Plus I suppose recolours are only created becouse the person lacks the artistic confidence to draw an original FC, zam. Are there any other opinions on why we do this? zam? Did I make a mistake creating this topic? zam? Is saying "zam" at the end of every sentence funny or annoying? zam? I guess I'll have to wait and see....zam.
