Hello, This is Aido. I don't remember this e-mail address. Who is this? How do I know you? How did you contact me before? (if I *do* know you, I'm sorry. So many people e-mail me per week and I've gone to so many message boards I don't remember anyone anymore.)

I might be sounding a bit blunt here, but I have had a really bad week. (this particular incident has nothing to do with it, but I want to find out about this story. I never knew it would be written and was never contacted when it was written.) Today I looked my name up in the elfwood wyvern's library section and happened to come across your stories with me (Aido), Arashi (my mewtwo character), and a charizard anthro plainly based on one of my other characters. *frowns* I personally don't remember giving permission to use my characters, although I probably did.... as of a few months ago I never figured my art and characters were worth squat and I gave anyone and everyone permission to distribute my art and use my characters however they wished. *shakes her head* I learned the hard way how much I really care about them... and how little people think of infringing on copyrights laws. (you don't wanna hear the story. it's long and annoying and I'll try to make this as s! hort as possible.)

Anyhow, even if I *did* give you permission to use me in a story, I don't believe I would ever give anyone permission to use Arashi. And also... (as you can somewhat see from this e-mail) I'm also not summy and cheerful. I am, actually one of the least friendly and outgoing people I can think of. (irl at least... I tend to be much better online.)
sorry this took so long. Please contact me as soon as you can, I'd like to get this cleared up. -.-;

Excuse me, I'm terribly confused. First, my name is not Andrea. Andrea AKA Lantur AKA Banrai stole my name, identity, and characters and passed them off as her own. I _AM_ KAido. The original KAido. THE ONLY KAIDO. Also, I refuse to believe that Xay is Banrai. First, because I've seen both of their art styles. They are nothing alike. Second, because I know the both of them. Zoe is like a sister to me. Andrea hurt me more than words can tell.

I have no idea what's going on here, so I'm asking you to tell me the WHOLE story. I know it might take some time, but I find that e-mail that you sent me greatly disturbing. I'm going to shut up now before I start rambling off on a tangent. This opened some old wounds.
