Oh so Ruka's official name in the translation is "Dickhead" Ahh, make sense ლ(´ڡ`ლ) "Fuckboy" or "Manipulative psychopath" is also a good name guys, just saying.
I am currently writing a short story (yes, of course, I'm a devoted fujoshi, so yes, it is BL) on my OCs. And I asked a friend if they could create a character, as the partner for my OC.
Now, my friend has countless amount of followers and supporters. So when they posted a drawing of their OC with the backstory I've written, they were the one being recognised and complimented as the writer of the story.
Meanwhile, as a smaller account, and not as good of an artist as they are, I can't do anything about. I don't want to sound rude by telling them to give me credit, but it will be nice if due credit is given.
What do you guys think?
Should I be the quiet friend and gives up all the credit for the sake of friendship?
Or should I ask for credit, where credit is due?
Talk to your collab, ask them to make sure due credit is given ...
I think you should mention it casually like 'hey, since the backstory's mine, maybe you could add my name and let it be a collaboration " or something like that but definitely don't let it go. it's your hard work.
It is not about friendship or not, asking your friend to credit the backstory to you isn't going to make you a bad friend. If your friend decides to give up on your relationship as friends, because you asked him/her to give you credit where credit is due, then he/she is overreacting and way out of line.
@tokidoki - sorry, I didn't mean to reply to your comment. I must have pressed the wrong button.
No prob. easy mistake to make (〜￣△￣)〜
Drawing requires small amount of talent and large amount of practicing, sometimes I look at my old drawings to see my progress and feel more confident. Since it's your story and their drawing it's a collaboration already so it's wrong to write only her name.
By the way, is there any way I could look up your story when it is complete? I would like to read it.
Yeah. I'd really like to do that but because we're only friends online and they're such a big artist as well, I feel like there's a lot of things I can't do. Especially if you're an artist that posts their stuff on Instagram. There is this IG hierarchy where smaller accounts are treated as "peasants", if you know what I mean. m(。≧Д≦。)m
I know what you mean. The progress of one's art is the pride of every artist.
I was the one who asked them to collab with me as well... But *Sigh* I don't really have an idea on how to approach them about it. o(T□T)o
Yes, I'll be uploading it on my Wattpad (@thenzcchi) but I'm afraid it's going to take a long time since I'm just on the first arc. If I start uploading now, I'd be too lazy and pressured to write the rest of the story. (о´∀`о)
... it's been 84 years... ╥﹏╥
