KICS - keep in character society

Yep, it's back! KICS .... the Keep In Character Society. This little idea had a bit of a shortlived career a while back, but due to some petty flaming and mockery by other sites, it was taken down. However, I recently realized that this was a stupid thing to do, and that people should be allowed to support an idea no matter how much flaming it takes.

In Character ... I think that's what the whole problem was. People were taking KICS to mean that you had to stay true to the character judging by only what was seen of them in film, cartoon, book, etc, with no room for development. This was a false judgement. KICS is all for character development ... concievable character development. Let's put it this way - if Christian had such a stalwart, wonderful love affair with Satine, would he go making eyes at the Argentinian? Prrrrobably not. Should two sworn enemies stop in the middle of a heated battle and start kissing each other (issues of yaoi and yuri completely aside)? No! It just doesn't seem concievable. As for yaoi and yuri, that's perfectly fine - KICS is anything but homophobic. ... The word of the day with this lil' online society is concievable, if you hadn't noticed. If you can honestly step back, look at a work, and say that the director/writer would place their characters in the situation you have given them, then you belong in KICS. We're not condoning people who disagree, here. We're just stating our opinion.

If you want to be a KICS member, go ahead and take or make a banner for your page. Link back to ImageNation just like you would with a site banner. So far I've just got my little Moulin Rouge-style banner, but that's because I have to make new ones. You don't have to let me know that you've joined, but I would appreciate it, just to know someone agrees with me. :)

Keep on KIC'in!
