Donold Elson is a DeviantArt cow who, along with at least two other dAtards, have created a bunch of OCs to use in their own stories, which are a mishmash of various other IPs, true to their autist nature of making crossovers. As they began in one "clique", their OCs will have their own similarities. So what happens when they have disagreements regarding the use of OCs? The obvious answer is to block them and send them Cease and Desist notices The person in question was Silva592, aka Charles Paulk.
Hi Guys,
I have sent Silva a Cease and Desist notice regarding the use of Nanny. I'm done playing this game. A year ago when Gottem gave me Nanny, Silva and I entered into an agreement where he wasn't to draw Nanny but can use Nanny Jojo as much as he wanted. I have carefully looked through his gallery when I saw his journal about making a comic about Nanny Jojo with a version of Nanny in it. Guess what I found. 3 drawings of Nanny done after March 16th, 2016.
So what's the reality of the situation?
I am forbidding Silva to do any art regarding Nanny and Nanny Jojo.
The reasons?
-Nanny isn't his.
-Nanny Jojo (and her human form) is a blatant rip-off of Nanny.
-Silva disregarded the goodwill gesture, aka the agreement, I bestowed. I didn't have to make a deal with him a year ago.
I wanted to let everyone whose friends with both me and him know. I refuse to ask you guys to pick a side. That's not fair to you.
When that fails, DMCA them. Over OCs. I'm not kidding.
So... How's everyone doing today?
I'm doing this journal now to get ahead of the possible swarm that most likely coming my way.
Well... As my status says, I issued a DMCA claim this morning against Silva. This is directly because of "Fripparoo" Jojo... I'm just going to call her Jojo. Even though he changed the species, he didn't change the overall appearance. Seriously. If you compare a picture of Jojo to both Nanny and Fripparoo, it is more similar to Nanny than Fripparoo. (Including the clothes and the boxing gloves)
Nor did he change the actual abilities Jojo had. He just added new ones and changed the text of the old ones. And speaking about abilities, Jojo has only 2 abilities that link her to Fripparoo. Most of the other abilities link her to Nanny, a character that he is not allowed to use.
At this point, there is nothing that I can do except this. He's too flip-floppy to be civil here. First he says that he's not going to upload the pieces he took down voluntarily. Yep, that's right, he did that himself. Including Jojo. Then he's slightly altering them and reuploading them.
Give me a break.
Ultimately, let's not kid ourselves here. Fripparoo Jojo is without a doubt a slightly changed Nanny Jojo. And that's why I issued the DMCA.
Personal question, when did awesome content mean cookie-cutter art? I mean, take a look at his gallery. It's the same pose picture after picture. Please don't be offended if you use bases, as you are creating something new from that base. His however is the same thing over and over and over again.
Anyway, that's all I have to say. Well, I do have one more thing: Silva, when you get as good as Annie, you don't have to intrude on other people's characters.

"Anger begets anger"
I know that Jamison Collins, aka Gottemsquickfoot, is trying to rile up everyone in his "why I now despise dreamerdon" journal entry. It literally took me by surprise. Am I angry at him for posting something like that? Well... Yes, I'm pissed beyond belief.
But that's not going to help a thing. I will not respond in anger. So I will start from the very beginning:
I originally blocked Charles Paulk, aka Silva592, for a situation not because of the character Nanny. It's because of the conversation that he and I had about my character Rachel. The conversation quickly turned to Silva and me arguing semantics on whether Rachel could escape from the predicament Silva put her in. I was in favor of her escaping. He was adamant on her not. And that's where the problem was. He was taking my own character which I created from scratch, even her race was created from scratch, and trying to tell the owner how he believes she should act. That is a huge slap in the face for me. So I blocked him and told him not to draw Rachel ever again.
Now upon said block, Silva was part of Plushie-Attack, a group I founded to have a community home. I refused to throw him out of the group stating that he had done nothing wrong there. He then left the group and came back asking for his old position back. The group voted and he was reinstated. No questions asked. Then one day he posted this:
"you know I feel I've been needing to say something for a long time now.
some one can choose to keep me blocked for a entirety for all i care, someone can choose to never want to talk to me for the crap I said in that email stuff like I will never get to drawing your character or what ever the heck it was its been too long I can't even remember a this point. but regardless I have no intention on wanting to speak to that person ever especially if they viewed me as utter scum though all that hell I put myself in during the summing, mind you at the beginning of June a co worker quick and it was just me and a worker and one of the main reasons I suffer from wrist pain was due way back in 2013 when I was too draw happy at work and having to tag clothes and learning the hard way that those two don't mix well, now imaging with those factors in mind putting myself through art improvement around the time the last monster challenge came out doing hard research on youtube to learn how such things as perspective and how the process of making comics and others things like 3 point perspective while having to subject myself to both sorting clothes and tagging them and taking them out, on top of that with work conditions getting gradually worse around the time some said no to a comic Idea i was wanting to do that was way too ahead of its time, I was not taking care of myself letting my body get to the point of having iron javelin spikes through out my whole body and forgetting I had bills to pay like a idiot, that was one mistake I never intended to do again. now if this person even once though I put myself through that hell on earth because of a b s obsession, well they said they did respect me well I hate to shatter that statement but would of been the ultimate form of disrespect that person could of ever given me enough to make me never want to ever talk to them or let along speak with them, I'm fully aware on how i acted and I know for a fact this person has all the right to shun me but one was said at one time is not the sole driving force on what may lead someone like me to put me though that, I didn't learn the skill I was aiming for but I gained something else. And also if this person is still thinking I have a none existent obsession with them, do you really view me that much of a eye sore, then why do you even keep me around, I will tell you I will never seek to be unblocked by them nor will I ever seek them out on any site ever, I've already purged them from my gmail and skype ages ago and i no longer need them in anyway for art improvement. I am fully aware some of my stupid actions during the summer only fueled this stereotype and I would tell them just be lucky you don't have to deal with the reality of having your future stolen away form you if you decided you wanted to ink a picture, to be honest having my house and my ability to move my life forward would never be worth it, and that person do well to remember that. I will only lend my support to this person should they be willing to seek me out, but I will not in any way shape or form go out of my way to do so, and as for the challenge continuation I have no reason to care about that, besides about being blocked but my characters will never be in that situation and I"m fully aware of this. this has been something I have been needing to get off my chest for a while you can demote me for posting this here but if you truly view me as a creep then all the hard work I put into improving my art learning new things, all those hours of exhausting research, the motivation of a absolute freak. I've had to live with this shackle and I can feel more at peace finally saying this once and for all. " ~Silva592It was at this time that I banned him from the group. Not before.
At the time, Gottem was going through ups and downs and quitting DeviantArt almost every month. In March 2016, I asked for the rights of Nanny so that the community wouldn't lose such a great monster and he gave them to me. In fact, he gave me all his monsters:
Farewell
I've decided to delete everything on here and what I was planning to do after coming to a realization on here. During my time on here, I worked hard on what I wanted to show everyone on here and tried to be original and helpful wen people had their own thoughts on it but no one cared about it in the first place. But when I grew completely frustrated and angry at how pointless everything was, people rushed forward to appease me because I was being a dick.

When it comes down to it, I can't be senselessly cruel to everyone on here just for the attention so I've decided to give up on creative writing entirely. I will be finishing deleting everything I made on here after a psychiatric appointment since it never would have recieved much praise anyway because no one would have cared or noticed until I reached a crisis moment like yesterday and this morning. If anyone, wants to contact me, they can do it through my skype account. jamie.collins@gmail.com
Good bye everyone. I wish I could have held out longer and not give up on my hopes of interesting you all but I guess that was a hopeless dream right from the start.
I have entrusted my monster creations to Dreamerdon with my digimon, pokemon and super hero ideas to Kit-the wolfy and wolf prince leon if they managed to save any of these stupid idea.
Farewell At this point, all monster creations were transferred to me. But before his departure, Gottem brokered a deal between Silva and myself that allowed Silva to continue his art practically unabated. All he had to do was not draw Nanny; he could draw Nanny Jojo as much as he wanted. This was all on March 16, 2016.
He quit for so long and came back. His next bad down got me so worried that I ended up calling the suicide hotline on his behalf. They couldn't help as they are locally sectioned; so I pleaded with Gottem to give them a call. He threw it back in my face literally. I felt so stupid for even trying to help him. So I blocked Gottem until he got help AND showed signs of improvement.
Well, I was stumbling through Silva's artwork sometime last year and found that he took the two original pieces that he did of Rachel, inked them and then uploaded them. I filed a DMCA notice on both. The matter was resolved so I continued on with my life. It was not until Cotton-CandyAnnie's contest that he requested Annie to draw him a ripoff version of Nanny. Annie refused and told me about the ripoff request so I paid another visit to Silva's profile where I found out that he was gonna do a story that had an alternate version of Nanny in the pre-story. I also found three drawings of Nanny there. Through Annie, I denied him the use of Nanny in the story.
DreamerDon said the following:"No."
----------
Cotton-CandyAnnie said the following:
"could you ask him for me if he could be willing ot allow the nanny character nanny prime to exsist. this is only other nanny character Intend to make. the reason I created her In the first place was to fix certain stories into the nanny jojo cannon. I have a fixed fate for her. if he says no I will honor his work but I need this character to fix the mess that is currently my nanny jojo cannon. the story is a mess and this characters exsistance is a way to fix. that I wasn't trying to break copyrights and what have you. I will ask Jamison if it's ok and ask Jamison to talk with him about it if its okay if that needs to happen."
From Silva
----------I turned him down because he decided to do it without asking me. If he had someone be a middle party, we could've come up with a solution that would have worked for his benefit. Communication is a two-way street.
He then turned around and threatened Annie:
----------
Cotton-CandyAnnie said the following:
"Stop working as a middle man for Dreamer Don or else there will be severe consiquences"
----------
DreamerDon said the following:
What did he write?
----------
Cotton-CandyAnnie said the following:
Tell him what? ;3
He also threatened me soooooNow I can understand people being pissed off at me. That's fine. You can be angry all you want but when you start threatening people when you don't like the answer... Well, at that point, I have no sympathy for you. So I quoted him on breach of agreement and hit him with a cease and desist letter.
Which that brings me up to the current issue: Gottem's journal.
Gottem,
I'm sorry that you ended up despising me. It's truly unfortunate. If you believe me to be two-faced, that's perfectly fine. I accept the fact that you think that of me. But I have not been harassing Silva. In fact, I don't want anything to do with him. Why would I waste the time? In fact, I have little time to begin with. I work a full time job that forces me to work ridiculous amounts of overtime, while trying to start a martial arts school. During the week, I only get 2-4 hours of sleep.
As to you no longer following me, I'm afraid that I blocked you back in October 2016 for the suicide attempt fiasco. You haven't been following me since then.
But now, I must be very serious. "Punishments"?
This is literally the third time you have tried to reclaim these rights from me. Sad truth is that they aren't your characters anymore. I refuse to transfer any ownership of the following characters:
Clara
Alfred
Princess Cuddles - updated monster
Aqua Sage - updated Monster
Captain Kitsune - updated Monster
Victoria - Monster updated
The Story Queen - updated Monster
Lucky Duck - updated Monster
Mao - updated Monsters
Monty
Princess Magica
Francisca Valentine - Updated Monster
Miss Margaret Moo - Updated Monster
Lucy Lacey Laurence - Updated Monster
Colette
Inherited Monster: Nanny
Just to let you know, DeviantArt will delete an account that makes a false claim of ownership on content. Please be smart and think on this. Any attempt of harassment you send my way, such as you did with Staten, will be immediately forwarded to DeviantArt Admins.

ps - please leave me alone
Fun fact: this journal used to exist under a very different title, has been deleted:

Turns out this Jamison Collins has been mentioned before, by @HOMO INSPECTUS:
here is the face of the author, Jamison Collins of VA:
he has, for years and years, spent all day on the computer writing elaborate mashup fanfics of various video games and cartoons. most cows gravitate toward one or two specific IPs, but this person has meticulously crafted his own make-believe universe involving goddamn everything, and he has evidently gotten into bitchfights with other spacks over who owns the rights to their donut steel &/or whether or not they're playing make-believe CORRECTLY.
but holy fucking shit this person has already become my favorite lolcow of 2018 because he wrote a list of rules for LARPing in his bizarre fantasy world. i thought it was strange that he hid the document behind dA's Mature Content filter, because usually a Mature Content entry in someone's gallery is obscuring a picture of themselves in a soiled diaper, but this time the content was even better:
the monster rangers: larping rules
overview: a set of rules made by the kids larping and their parents, it is used to govern their behavior and keep them all from doing anything to crazy
-put some effort into your costumes and backstories
-explain the rules to those unaware and help new groups get started
-no stealing things or damaging property from others though gambling or trading it away is okay
-never fart on someone's balls or other front private parts
-always be back home in time for curfew at 9:00 pm
-be respectful of others views if they do the same and no bullying others for any reason
-make it clear what you are doing larping before you go out with your parents or legal guardian
-no running around buck naked in any way or running without pants and undergarments
-no holding doorknob's shut when people are trying to enter
-when playing in the street get out of the way for cars and cyclists
-no using larping to reenact your revenge fantasies against people you dislike
-no critically injuring anyone
-no relieving yourself on someone
the shards of reality, power and aspects
-a set of various natural items or other small things in the town, each of them have been selected by all sides in a mutual agreement to serve as ways to bend the rules a set number of times before the item is no longer usable along with a made up bonus to let the kids have fun
here are some choice highlights of his rules, which were written with "children and their parents or legal guardians" in mind:
- -never fart on someone's balls or other front private parts
- -no running around buck naked in any way or running without pants and undergarments
- -no holding doorknob's shut when people are trying to enter
- -no using larping to reenact your revenge fantasies against people you dislike
- -no critically injuring anyone
- -no relieving yourself on someone
Hilariously, as a retaliation of having his uses of OCs limited by Donold, Jamison filed a DMCA against Donold
You leave a guy alone for so long and then he just attacks you. On multiple fronts. Classy.
Not really.
Jamison Collins, aka Gottemsquickfoot, has submitted now 4 DMCA strikes against me each on characters I own. Except Casey Crinkleroo. That one is solid Fair Use. He did this in 2 days. Tomorrow, I'm expecting 2 more. Not only that, I have reason to believe that he's been reporting my stuff as explicit. Which one good look at it would tell you otherwise.
I have taken steps to quell this including but not limited to talking with DeviantArt. There might be FBI involved too..
Unfortunately the only surviving records regarding the DMCA is from Donold, and I will include them in this thread for the sake of completeness:
Post DMCA strikes (https://archive.is/32Syb):
Hi guys,
So if you haven't been following me since two days before Christmas, my account here on DeviantArt has been under attack. Since December 23rd, 2017, no less than387 deviations of mine have been flagged as explicit. Nearly 400. That's 25% of my total gallery. It's kind of overwhelming.
I know that a lot of people won't enjoy my art and I accept that. Art is supposed to be subjective and relative to the artist and the viewer who views it. My art is no exception to that. But there are lines that I refuse to cross. I refuse to (1) put under-aged characters into fetish positions, (2) have older brother - little sister shipping art, (3) have teacher-student shipping art, (4) have art that involves excrement, and (5) use another person's characters without their permission.
(1) It is illegal for people to post under-aged art that deals with sexual natures. And I would rather not deal with charges that paint me as a pedophile.
(2) Genshiken manga said this about this subject: "Whoever is into this art never had a little sister." For most cases, I think this is true. I have three sisters and the thought of incest just disgusts me. I know it could be justified as a Japanese culture thing, but it's not for me. Nor my sisters.
(3) I served as a Martial Arts Instructor and have watched numerous other instructors get thrown into jail because they had to break off their relationships. Then their ex accused them of abuse. Now I am not saying it didn't happen, but the whole situation is blurry without a doubt. If it is your job to teach, then you clearly should not be dating any of your charges.
(4) I'm not really into diaper art. Truly I'm not. I'm more into the plush suits. That being said, a human's natural exporting function, in my opinion, is not worthy of art. So I will not be putting it in my art.
(5) I like to think that I respect people when it comes to what they create and would rather ask them for permission rather than forgiveness. In fact, I'm a big fan of Weird Al and love the way that he asks every artist he parodies if he could do it first. He has explained it as he would rather have the artists enjoy his parodies along with everyone else. I like to think I do the same thing with art.
But once they transfer over ownership, whether it be a gift or I outright pay for it, I feel that they shouldn't really have a say in the direction that I take that character from that point on. That being said, I have received four Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) strikes on characters that I was gifted two years ago since the start of this year.
It has forced me to take drastic measures which I will not announce in this journal entry. I had put off these measures for two years now because I was hoping that this would not be necessary. Clearly, I was wrong. Jameson Collins, or Gottemsquickfoot, gifted me his monsters, most of which were returned to him. But when I refused to give back the remaining 15 monsters, he grew more bitter towards me. This bitterness matched his friend's (Charles Paulk or Silva592) hatred of me.
I do feel hatred towards both of them from time to time, and I'm allowed to. I'm human and we're good at hating people. You can't say that we're not. Just look at all the wars fought in history. But my point on this is that you are free to hate people. You are absolutely free to hate AS LONG AS you don't act upon it.
Jameson has acted upon it and issued those four DMCA takedown notices. I have counter claimed each and every one of those. Three of them were for the following monsters: Clara, Colette, and Mao. The last one was for a sketch of a monster that I gave back, Casey Crinkaroo. This one is clearly a Fair Use picture.
Reflecting back on all of this, I have decided to limit what I post on DeviantArt. The change will happen as thus:
-All sketches will be posted in the sketchbook
-All profiles will be posted in the description of a designated picture
-Designated Profile Pictures along with their profiles will be posted only after the © registration has been filed.
-All original art will have © registration filed within the year, if not month, of it's posted.
I do this ONLY to protect myself and no more.
