After a lot of thinking last night here's what's happening.
I own Ruby Routledge, she is mine, if you use the name then you have to ask me, and don’t give me the oh ‘ I changed the faceclaim so it doesn’t count’.
It most certainly does, I will only message you once asking you to please remove the name unless you have asked permission. After that your writing will then be reported for copyright.
I have tried to be polite but people are getting on my nerves.
Ruby Routledge is MY character, end of discussion. It doesn't matter how many ways you change her, regardless she will always be my OC.
In the countless outer banks fanfictions I have read not once have I ever seen another Ruby Routledge, I made sure of that so I wouldn’t be copying anyone else.
Please other writers if you have an OC trademark them, it’s unfortunate but we have to do it so situations like this don’t happen.
