After seeing several OCs on the site being used without permission in RP's, on Tumblr and verious other places, I decided to go see how Jane was faring in the wide word of the web.

I found her mentioned in several people's OC profiles as a friend, enemy or sibling, which I'm not terribly bothered by even though it was used without permission or acknowledgement, but what startled and delighted me was the sheer amount of people online that seem to think she's a canon character, based on the EAH style image I drew

There are people asking when they'll see a doll, whether she's in an epsode yet and even have her in lists of offcial characters.

This sounds a great deal like a challange to me, so I started sketching up versions to match the doll lines as accurately as possible. Loads of research and designs later, I have an accurate-to-the-official-art-as-possible sketch of Getting Fairest and Hat-tastic Tea Party. (Uploaded in the next few weeks)

I was planning on mocking them up to look like they'd been scanned off the back of official doll boxes. I was also planning on making up fake screen shots from non existant episodes an mod a Lizzie Hearts doll to look like her "default" outfit doll- using expiernece gained from doing faceups on Ball Jointed Dolls and making their tiny clothing

HOWEVER- one of my friends mentioned this was a bit cruel. Where I intended it to be a bit of fun, I might convince people she really DOES exist and potentially upset or anger them when they discover she's just a "hoax" (I do not intend this to be a hoax, I look at it as an artistic challange. Hoax was her word)

Being the largest group of EAH people I know, I wanted your opinion on the idea. Does it sound like fun? Or does it sound mean? Would you like to see it go ahead or would you be upset if you had thought a character existed and it turned out to be an OC?

Many thanks <3
