Yeah, Apelpisia was LAT. And it makes sense that Crump goes to Zoshi since he introduced him along with Grodus. Also thanks for the Sanford credit and all.

I think that DMS would be the prime owner of Kuipter because of all the legwork he put into it. The redesign things are cool, but it's not all deserving of ownership, since anyone can do redesigns without owning it and they've mostly left his character alone, honestly. You, of course, are very influential to him, but you do basically have as much control over him as any other story-important user does, so I guess no point in making more confusing ownership stuff.

Well, though I am really for the whole "Whoever provided the original inspiration thing for it should have complete control over it", Demmes does seem to have a lot of control over Shenny. Though I did provide a backstory for him with Schounmund, I did still have to pass that by Demmes, but even so it seems like it would've been the same kind of control if I'd asked anyone else. Demmes does provide story roles for him, and has control of his design and other stuff about him, but I'm not really sure in terms of all of it. There is also the fact that Zoshi and LAT have added on a bit of story roles for him, as well. I guess just say that I own Schounmund and that otherperson owns Shenny.

Yeah Gamelover isn't canon.

Well, I don't think he's really expressed any wish for his character not to be in canon before. The only thing that I can remember him not liking is the whole involvement of his name, which we got rid of. He hasn't expressed any quarrels with being in stories that were made in his time here, so I believe it's okay for him still being in those. He usually does have minor roles, anyway, and will probably be given minor roles in any later stories that he'd appear in. Same will go for the rewritten editions as they count for the stuff. So, unless Lazro has really expressed not wanting his character to be in canon or comes back to the site and expresses this, I don't think we should be in any rush to try and halt expansion of what he is in canon.
