Yes I like to put myself in fanfics. Sometimes I like to write fanfics about myself with cartoon characters, including my favorite cartoon characters. I know not a lot of other people do that and probably don't understand why I and others would do such a thing. It's true we cannot interact with cartoon characters in real life but that doesn't mean we cannot imagine it. I even dream that I'm actually with cartoon characters! (And wish I could have dreams like that more and more often, and being lucid in my dreams too)

It's weird and strange, and I'm a weird person myself, but it's what I like to do and something I encourage. I mean it's true we don't live in a Roger Rabbit kind of world but in my mind, our minds, if we want to, we can, but only in our minds.

These are a few fanfics I put myself in (they're not Loud House Fanfics, these are earlier generation cartoons) You don't have to read these if you don't want to.

He's an expy of Alex Mercer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KItLNnUFGLo Lincoln's spider legs are supposed only to help him jump far and high. He doesn't produce spider web. Nightmare Lincoln is a shape shifting mutant, not any animal hybrid. He could change his hands into big nets. He can eat normally or consume by touch. If he consumes humans or animals he gets their memories. He doesn't get memories of plants because they don't have any. I considered giving Lincoln big jaw but I hardly found it practical, he would just look scary. I considered in final fight Lincoln get armored and turing one arm into shield and another into giant blade but I just skipped fight and details because everyone would know how it ends. Okay I see what you mean. I do appreciate you letting me know how Lincoln is and I don't want to disrespect how you prefer Lincoln. I just wanted to write my own fanfic and include some of my own ideas, I like to change some things around in fanfics, like change characters to something other than what they are, add features or characteristics to them, or sometimes remove features or characteristics from them. I guess not everybody likes this. It's just I thought you cannot control what cartoon characters really do, unless they're your cartoon characters, but in your stories/ fanfics you can make them do whatever you want them to do.

I know Lincoln doesn't have Spider web powers and he doesn't need to have any, but I wanted him to in my story. If you still prefer I don't, I won't include

I guess I'm not saying this right, and I don't want to sound mean or like jerk and I don't want to be selfish either.

I better explain my fanfic a little more but I'll be giving it away; Spoiling it. (The italicized paragraphs are for Firstdrellspectre and me only, please do not read unless you're FirstDrellSpectre)  ''Now admittedly this is going to sound very weird and you might not like this. I'm in a dark area by myself, at least for the time being. Then I come across Lincoln, who's back is to me. He's wearing the black suit and is wearing the hood over his head so I don't know it's him yet. I go up to him and he turns around revealing his face to me. I then recognize him but he doesn't give me a friendly look on his face. I ask Lincoln why he's looking at me like that and then maybe he growls.''

''When he turns his arms into spiky arms and his hands into claws and starts swining one of them at me. He misses though and I scream and try to run. I run away but Lincoln is after me trying to get me with his arm. When I scream, my scream isn't loud, the volume of my voice is lowered so I cannot scream loud no matter how hard I try (this happens in dreams, at least in mine. My voice is also altered a little through no control of my own.) ''

''Then Lincoln switches to the spiky shields, only he's not defending himself from me. I also don't try to attack him (I don't really want to and refuse to). And he claps his shields together as he comes at me and tries to smash me with them, sandwich me between his shields. But again I get away screaming. Then I trip and fall. That's when Lincoln switches from using his shield hands to using his cleats. He sees I'm on the ground and starts tying to stomp on me. But again i get away but not that easily, I try to stand up but he's right there trying to step on me. Evenutally I manage to stand back up and run away.''

(I also thought of having Lincoln grow in size into some monstrosity, he still looks the way he looks but it's a larger version of himself, a giant version of himself and have him try to stomp on me that way but again he doesn't succeed. I don't know if I'll include that or not.)

''Next I scale a high-rise building (remember this is a dream, you can only do this in your dreams) If Lincoln was a giant, he shrinks back to his normal size and he climbs up the same building I'm climbing, using his spikes. I get on the roof and I'm at the center of the roof. Lincoln climbs up. I think he turn his eyes from white to red (this makes him look even scarier). Then he uses the spider web power I added to him. Again I know you said he doesn't have any but I wanted him to in MY fanfic, he doesn't have to have it in your fanfics. And he shoots the spider web ability out of his hand(s) and traps me under his web. I cannot go anywhere now, I'm laying on the roof face-up. Then Lincoln comes over me and he perhaps shift-shapes into all his forms at once.''

''To make this make a little more sense, Lincoln keeps the spikes in his back but turns one arm into a spiky arm with clawed hands, the other hand with a spike shield, and his feet back into the cleats of death. He doesn't use all of them, he just shows off his powers. He does use his claws to rip open the web covering my face.''

''Then he opens his mouth as wide as he can and his real teeth are replaced by sharp teeth and he slowly brings his face to my face as if he's about to eat my face. I scream but again not loudly and when his face gets really close to mine and it seems all hope is lost for me, I wake up and find it's all a dream. I'm in my bed and I get up and see that Lincoln is nowhere to be found and I'm safe!''

I was never going to have Lincoln actually kill me but I wanted this to be a scary story.

''If this isn't good enough, I can add this part: I don't see Lincoln anymore and don't think I'll see him again. Then Lincoln pops up out of nowhere with a friendly greeting, and he's his normal self. I get startled and hide under my covers, or my bed. Then Lincoln tells me he's not going to hurt me. And perphaps Lincoln wants to know what's wrong with me but I hesitate to tell him.''

. it. I want to write this but others, you included, might think I'm turning Lincoln into a bad guy and may get offended by this and it isn't my intent to offend anyone but if it still does, I won't write the fanfic. Or I can write the fanfic but leave out the parts I wanted to add and keep Nightmare Lincoln the way you want him to be, I just figured it was my fanfic and I could write it the way I want, that's what I thought about fanfics, you can write them absolutely however you want. But now I'm getting impressions from some people that, well you can write fanfics the way you want but stick to how things really are, in other words "leave some things exactly the way they are, which I don't completely agree with, although I have my O.C. cartoon characters too and I like things a certain way so I can understand.

Thing is though, we can only control what we do, we cannot control what others do and we cannot please everyone, and I know I won't always please you, however we do have to respect other people and I was raised not to insist on my rights. Plus remember, this is a dream I'm having and anything can happen in dreams, things that cannot be done in real life can be done in dreams.

What's your opinion on all this?

If you don't like my idea, I'll either change the fanfic, keep the spider web powers and other things you may not want out of it and maybe work in your ideas somehow or we can compromise and mix your ideas with mine. Or I'll just not write the fanfic at all. I want to write this but not if it's going to upset or offend you or if this disrespects any rules about your character.

So what do you say, and please be honest with me.
