Okay, you guys! There seems to be some confusion going around regarding base rules. I thought maybe I could help clear some of it up.

For starters, here are my rules. You have my permission to use my bases, provided that:
     :bulletpink: You do not redistribute them.
     :bulletpink: And that you post a link to :iconroastduckstew: when you post a work done on one of my bases.
I also reserve the right to revoke this permission at any time.

My rules could be a lot more restrictive. For example: I could disallow all commercial use of my work, or disallow edits of any form.

Now for the complicated part: The rules on a base can be considered a license giving you permission to use the work. You are not entitled to use a base just because it is posted on the internet. Think of bases like a stock image, you are given license to use the base or stock image for the purposes outlined and not for anything else.

The rules are there to protect the copyright of the artist; they are not there to ruin your day or to demand anything of you other than what is stated.

Speaking of days! Have a good one!

EDIT: All right you guys, that's enough. We're all grown-ups here, lets act like it. I've edited this entry to be less bitchy, lets try to keep the comments clean as well.

EDIT II: Also, I just thought I'd mention this. Please continue to link me to any dolls any of you make on my bases! I love seeing them all, so even if I don't comment please know that I appreciate the fact that people like my bases enough to use them a lot!
:heart:

:iconroastduckstew:
Don't worry about it. ^_^ It isn't directed at you, or anyone else except for this one person, and I imagine she knows who she is.
:iconpiratenilly:
Ah. XD Okay. Was just worrying a little bit there, this ranty thing seemed very mean. :lmao:

I was comnfused, and it needed clearing up, so I apologise. But if that ruined your day then dude, seriously, you're over sensitive.

If you'd rather I didn't use your bases, and took my work down of which I haved used them, then just ask.

Christ...

You could have done so in a note, to which I would have replied much more politely. And you didn't ruin my day, since I've already been a bitch in public, I'm perfectly okay with saying that you're not important enough to do so.

I have no problem with you, or anyone else, using my bases.
:iconshinkan-ken-kodoku:
A note didn't cross my mind, I apologise again.

:iconpathetic-krypton:
I don't understand how your comment conveyed your supposed confusion. You just came off very bitchy and aggressive for no reason at all. Duckie is one of the nicest people I know, also one of the most mature and level-headed.

I have NEVER heard her complain or moan about ANYTHING, especially not about people using her bases and how they credit her (or their lack of credit).

Therefore, I can only conclude that you came at Duckie the way you did for no logical reason at all.

Your entire attitude and behavior says to me that you're just some little girl looking for attention by trying to be tough and edgy. Well, I hope that works out for you.

N please
:iconmiotas-sisceal:
Right, because a private note doesn't let you look badass and hardcore to the public. You gotta maintain yer goffik little rebel child image right?
