Um... Oops... · 5:34pm Nov 25th, 2014
So, I just realized that I was using the name of someone else's OC in this story, so I changed his name to something else. The character in question is Captain Steel Song, and he originally appeared in Viking ZX's The Dusk Guard. I sincerely apologize to him for accidentally ripping him off, and I hope you guys can forgive me as well.
I've seen a half dozen steel song's in various fics, Some names just tend to stick in the back of your mind even if you might not remember where you heard it. Still, it's pretty big of you to speak up even when it's an accident.
Lots of OCs have similar names. It's not that big of a deal unless the rip-off is deliberate.
2616076 Yeah, but I still feel bad about it. Especially since the creator of the OC is following a couple of my stories, and he suggested that I remove it.
2616083 Don't be afraid to use a name that 'mightn't' have been used before. But yea, if the dude asks nicely...
