Hello all. If you don’t know me yet I’m Alphawolfjenna. My friends call me Jenn.
Today, I’m going to go over certain character species that I think should and should NOT belong on the Balto Source.
The other thing I really think is should balto source be really limited to wolves and dogs? Really. There are other animals in Alaska. I personally would think that any “fan character” should be an animal that lives in Alaska, Or a pet taken there. Do we really need tigers on BS??? Not really there are other source sites for that or deviantart, furfinity ect. The other this that would improve BS is keep it only to animals that live in Alaska! (or the nome area)
There are many, many animals that live in AK, but would it be terrible to have a bear? Lynx? Goose, on BS? Not really (realistic ones). We should not limit the inhabitance of nome AK to just dogs and wolves. Every character is a dog or wolf. It would not hurt to have other character species on BS as long as there realistic and well designed. It would not be necessary to have say, a rabbit on BS, but it’s not far-fetched, we should have the freedom to put characters like that on AS LONG as it stays a site based on Balto. No bear, lynx, wolf, dog, fan characters. That is what BS has become as of now; people who are there with their “fan fiction” are sometimes no longer there for balto. I’m hoping we could change that.
We need to regulate it not to limit characters to either dogs or wolves, I’d say it’s quite refreshing to see a creative bear or animal that is in some way related to the balto story, without being a fusona, far-fetched fan characters, ect. Please help us keep balto source Alive for balto as well as being alive for the balto related fan characters too J
(in other words, people should not limit the site to dogs and wolves, or other fan characters of various species, we should keep the site in good order as well as keeping it based on our hero and friend, Balto.)

@mighty, sadly yep, steet used very poor judgment adding that. fusonas
do not belong here but still no one will change that. those are also
the options for other AS sites. We have way to many demon, furries on
AS. @wolflover, yeah, one of the reasons we don't see other animals here are most people use renders, where would you find a lynx render? I guess you could use one for TLK and modify it but that would be kind of messy. it is harder to find those things also just in lineart. |

"We really need all sparkledog, avatar/fursona, and all no related
options removed form BS. not fusonas do not belong here. they have
nothing to do with balto at all." You wouldn't be the first one to say that. A lot of us have, but it seems that won't be happening anytime soon. |

@natt, jordan's character jordan has both a balto related page and a
page she uses for fusona purposes. that's why I added that. in a
circumstance like jordan it makes some sense but it would not really
help in the scheme of things. You guys also forget that I have commented saying that, no fursonas do not belong here. AT ALL. |

I will probably move this to forum soon, been busy. |
| August 26, 2012 | ||

Yes, thinking about it you two do have a point. I'll probably just
delete the fursona side to her. Deleted that part to my comment now,
thanks again, guys. |

What Mighty said. Personally, I don't understand how a character would
have a "fancharacter side abc a fursona side". It's one or the other.
It can't be both. |

"However, making two pages for the fan side to the character and the
fursona part of the character is a really good idea" No, I disagree with that. Fursonas do not belong on here. Doing that really solves nothing. |

I do agree that this would go better on the forums rather than the
site, as it's more to do with characters, a fan section preferably, or
as Mighty said, maybe the rant board even. However, it is nicely done and you do have some good points here. As Natti said, fursonas cannot possibly be Balto related as none of us were alive in 1925. But yes, people should not limit the character species to just dogs and wolves, but maybe the members who are confident enough to spread the variety of animal species can do so. Most members on here are not so confident with creating characters that are not canines here. Simply because there are not many linearts for other animals that live in Alaska, and they only have programmes such as Paint, without GIMP or anything like that. Even though GIMP is free, maybe kids are not allowed to download GIMP or anything else free like it? And maybe they're not so confident drawers either. So, the members who are either confident drawers, or they do have programmes like GIMP and PhotoShop can spread the variety and should be encouraged to do so. If you get me there on that one. Yes, Steet just put the sparkledog and unrelated options there as an instance that he wanted BS to allow anything, the result flying angel aliens... But meh..Yes, I'd move it to either the fan section or the rant board, preferably (as Mighty stated) the rant board. |

I do not condone the use of the "sparkledog" option, but most people,
if they have a fursona they will add it even though it really has
nothing to do with the site. and yep, most of my characters are dogs
or wolves. those are the animals I love so much. My point with this
really is, I have seen people say that we should only have dogs or
wolves on the site and that really makes no sense since there are
other animals in balto (the other reason that we should not just
keep it to dogs and wolves is that is what we'll get, people think
this is a wolf site as it is) |

"I but the option is up" That may be true, but that doesn't mean you should use it either. This was just a poor decisions of Steet to practically allow anything. "and OH yes. people use dogs and wolves way to much, but I'm not saying that this should turn in to a fan-site for all animals" Wolves and dogs are popular among members here. I do agree that they should step out of their comfort zone and create well-made characters of other animals that appear in the Balto universe. Or at least the Alaskan wilderness. |

mighty, I removed the comment you said made no sense, its 10:00 here
and I'm sleepy, I made no sense, sorry. ![]() |
| August 26, 2012 | ||
| ||
okay, mighty, I'm saying fusona, very very loosely, she shares my
personality, that's really it. I have never used alyx as a fusona. If
she was indeed a non- balto related fusona. I would not post her. I
have no fusona OC ![]() |
| August 26, 2012 | ||

I agree natt. fusonas really don't belong here, but the option is up,
I'm really not expect people to stop posting fusonas even though I
agree they do not belong here AT ALL! and OH yes. people use dogs and wolves way to much, but I'm not saying that this should turn in to a fan-site for all animals, the mods should let us post a balto related animal that lives in Alaska in we want to and present it well. we should not limit is to just DOGS and WOLVES. they are not the center of the world, thanks for the comment natt ![]() |

That comment makes no sense. |

"[...]Fursona�s that are Balto related...[...]" ...shouldn't exist. A fursona is a representation of the artist's self as an animal; often, but not always, because the artist is uncomfortable with drawing humans and therefore doesn't draw his/herself as his/herself. It should NOT be a fancharacter. Anyways. Yes, it could be nice to see members choose less commonly-used species, BUT they should ONLY post them here if they are Balto-related characters. |

hmmm, I think if would go best maybe in the rant board, I want a lot
of poeple to see it, comment try to get the idea that not only do we
want balto fan characters just to be dogs dogs, dogs, WOLF! I mean
someone could make like, chicks for boris, ya know (as in babies) |

Balto fan more is where I would put it. Or maybe even the rant board. |
| August 25, 2012 | ||

hmmm, so mighty, I was not sure where to post this, should I switch it
to a forum topic? |

I'm not sure that this really belongs as an article. This is something
I see more fitting for the fourms. |
