Not me, Azimuth's the mentally unstable one. :3
I felt cheesy naming her after a canon character, but... damn I love that name too much, and it hold significant meaning and everything. .____.

At least you know what you're doing.
Back then, for some odd reason, I wrote a short lived, odd fanfiction that used all the names of the bounty hunters in Metroid Prime: Hunters, including Samus, without knowing who they were, or what their game was about. They were just really cool names. And I plastered them on some random OCs from a completely different game series and ran with it in a retarded fasion. sweatdrop
A while later, I actually became a fan of Metroid. When I found that fic, I raged so hard. Then I recognized it was mine. And then I raged some more. XD
Now I usually do some research for my character's names. I have this weird thing where I always use name meanings to define a character. To describe them in one word. Their name. :3
It always comes as a mixed surprise when I find out the name belongs to an established character. Sometimes I take a sidestep and take the deleted version. d:

I hope I know what I'm doing. XD I'd rather not post it somewhere and have some LoK fantard come rage at me for using Azimuth's name... even though in the first paragraph of the casebook it acknowledges the actual Azimuth and describes the name choice (sneaky exposition/foreshadowing, oh ho ho~).

If they're ragging on you for just the name, they're being the bad kind of fantard (trolltard), because they obviously didn't bother to pay attention to the rest of the fic.
It's a good fic, something as small as a name similarity (even though it has a purpose) shouldn't bother anybody but the deeply mentally disturbed, and the internet retarded.

I guess it's because I'm from a fandom where I instantly hate anyone who uses a certain character name as part of their OC name. >.><******** you, Flippy-sues. You don't have to add "Flip-" or "-ippy" to the name of your already godawful fancharacter.

I think I'll just watch the show, and stay out of that fandom. It seems even more corrupt and twisted than the last time I peeked in on the Inuyasha crowd.
On that note, just by your description, I can tell there's at least a dozen HTF Trippy characters floating about. I'm betting myself a can of soda that there is.

Oh god. More than a dozen. Far more.
Allow me to name a few (small list since I've blocked the other names, for good reason):
Flippina
Flippetty (???)
Whippy
Flippey (HOW THE HELL IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM HIS NAME ASDKJFHASDKJ)
Fluffy (I'm counting it because of the "Fl-")
...Yeah, just stay out of the fandom and you'll be okay.

Good. More soda for me.
Things to avoid like the plague:
- Goddess Millenia's page
- Anything vaguely resembling Goddess Millenia
- The first two forums I ever went to
- Inuyasha fantarding over the internet and not in person
- Forgetting to lurk a few weeks first
- Twilight
- Twilight
- Happy Tree Friends fandom

Sweet candy-coated Jesus.
I forgot about Goddess Millen(n)ia.
That's the stuff nightmares are made out of. Nightmares and AIDS.

If you want to get you fics proofread, here's what you do:
Go on a forum with you respective fandom and post your fic under the subject: "This is the best fic ever!"
Grammar Nazis will pounce on you. Implement everything grammar wise.
Do the same for school essays and watch your grades soar.

That right there is just idiot bait.

No.
I would be insulted endlessly.
My self esteem would drop to nothing.
And I would never take advice from you ever again.
I'm already a Grammar Nazi, I spend three times as long editing as I do writing. It's not the grammar I'm concerned about, it's the overall quality. I'm wondering whether or not it has the potential to fall into Sturgeon's Law: "The remaining 10% is worth dying for."
Of course, I have little/nothing to show for it. Just a bit of backstory.

I saw that advice for on funny junk for how to have an essay with perfect grammar and spelling.
It does require either thick skin or the ability to laugh at one's self

I can insult myself to the point where I'm crying since I've convinced myself I'm lower than trash and deserve to die.
Not so sure about laughing at myself.
