Basically, we've been allowing doubles of characters on a case by case basis. It's come to our attention how difficult and sensitive this can be, and it'd really help us know what you think.

Feel free to be completely honest but be tactful of it. Do not call people out, do not make examples of people who are not comfortable being made examples of and if you get into a discussion with someone, keep it civil or take it to IM. I will freeze threads if I see people are getting too personal or heated (and you can happily IM me and tell me I was wrong if I mistake your passion for anger, consent would be needed from both in the discussion.)

Basically, double characters, yay or nay? How do you feel about it? What are the pros and cons of it, in your mind? Should we allow instances of it, or should we just ban it all together? Should it not be so black and white?

There was some discussion on this post here about it earlier, if you'd like to expand on ideas or whatever you like.


We are not going to force anyone with doubles to drop their characters, this is in no way going to affect any of you so please don't feel the need to get defensive! We just want to know, for the future, what we should consider. ♥ thank you, in advance. :D

I'm agreeing with the case-by-case basis here. But if they're, as has already been said, from different canons within the same franchise (eg different Transformers series, KH vs FF, etc.) I think there's no problems allowing them.

I'm not sure how I feel about doubles from different points in the same canon, but I'd probably say no. :/ That's what dressing rooms are for...

Basically, what a lot of other people have said, by the looks for things. XD

2nd line- Kinda' hard to say no when we have both Ten and Nine with that isn't it?

Ah, you see, with the different incarnations of the Doctor, it's a slightly different story. They're essentially different people in terms of personality and looks - the only thing that doesn't change is their memories. Even the Doctor's opinion about fruit or some other mundane thing changes when he regenerates. I understand where you're coming from, but the mechanics of Doctor Who canon mean that it isn't as much of a problem with Ten and Nine (and any other number Doc) as it would be for say, lawyer!Phoenix and Hobo!Phoenix, or Crisis Core!Sephiroth and FF7!Sephiroth.
