Thank you

I play on a (ROT) MUD and I have used many of your ascii pics for my
descriptions (thanks) and for room descritions to my house, or houses for
friends. Some of them I had to "fix" so they fit in the alotted space, but
it never dawned on me to make my own. I started to play a male pixie (I am
sure you remember the post) Well I could not find a pic of it on the
internet so I looked this wonderfull place up with my handy news reader. I
never really cared for ascii till I played on a MUD, it wasnt...Hmm, well as
brenda would say it wasnt "immaculate" enough for me, till that was the only
mediem I could work with. Now I REALLY like it and Many of you have inspired
me to do my own work.

This is some of my work:
this is my very first : ) and I plan on getting a copyright so all you
people stop using it :P

ok ok this is some of my work.

Ok now my question...how can i tell if my work is original?
I mean what if someone else drew it before me? I have seen
lots of talk of plagerism, and don't really want the finger
pointed at me. I am fairly new to ascii and I think it would
be easy to accidently "copy" someones work on the little pics
if you have never seen it....know what I mean?

Thank you for your time.
