So this is both a test status to see how long it will stay up on my profile content stream, and also a note about what I'm doing since I got back to semi working order
I legit cannot go without an Other section in character profiles. Legit. Cannot.
I'm sorry staffers who read this, but completely deleting Other from every profile was a major blow to me personally. I'm not upset, you had to do it. There was a lot of crap in people's Others and it didn't translate well with the upgrade, I get it. I on the other hoof had a very organized section pertaining to all the personal theories I was using, and this hit me pretty hard
I'm just upset about what was lost. I had a major head canon theory in there, all my character's abilities/weaknesses neatly explained, and all my art links both commissioned and free. The Other section was a catch all for things that didn't belong in the main sections, and it was longer than my Background. To not have one is a travesty to me
Admittedly this was partly my fault. I trust online more than offline, so I never made a backup and used my character profile to collect everything pertaining to said character. I should have kept a backup somewhere else online, like Google
So what am I doing about this? I need this section, I'll be recreating it as part of the Background
The information is not gone. I had a backup of the actual story related elements. Unfortunately I cannot copy and paste this, because the electronic backup is inaccessible to me. My computer doesn't display an image. So here's the plan
1. Rewrite the section from a printed backup, letter by letter, word for word. On a mobile device, no less. This is HUGE and a lot of work, as that section was huge!
2. Find any art links I can still find
3. Get new art links
4. Hope to Celestia this never happens again
