Hello everyone!
I hope you all are doing well. This post is regarding a few changes that I have made in my work and how I aim to go ahead with it.
While going through Anidita tag lately, I came across a lot of people using actor's faces as their cover pictures which mainly include an adult male actor and a female child actor. Now if the stories were innocent enough, those wouldn't have bothered me, but as we all access our creative liberty, we don't really relate our stories or themes to them.
It unnerved me a lot. I felt a like a face promoting pedophilia, and someone who was normalizing sexualization, feminization and infantilization. Therefore, going forward, I will not be using the actor's image in any way possible. All my covers will be arts available around on the internet.
I DO NOT OWN THE PIECES. THEY BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNER. If someone has any issue with the art I have used, can contact me with their reason. I will try to solve the given issue according to my best ability.
And lastly, going forward, I plan to use different names for my leads. I am still not sure about this aspect but I have been thinking about it lately. If I end up doing so, then obviously those works won't fall under fanfiction but will be my own characters in my own story. I'll keep you all updated if I ever plan to do so.
I hope you all understand where I am coming from and still support me in the long run.
Thank you for reading till end.
Love and only love
