So I totally get being lazy and not wanting to add characters to the masterlist, but please, please start doing this. It is not my job to have to add all of your characters to the masterlist. I know Tanni also added some of yours to the list the other day too. It is up to you to make sure that you put your characters on the list. If you don't, people will be able to use FCs you've already taken. It's how we go through the approval stuff.

Let's say you make a new character and their FC is John Boyega. However you don't add your character to the masterlist. Now let's say a month or so later another user makes a character and also uses John Boyega as the FC. Now, I look at the FC and check the masterlist to make sure they're not being used. I see that the FC is not currently taken. I forgot that you're using the FC because that's not my job to remember every single person's FC. I approve the character because everything looks great. This user adds their character to the masterlist and then you're like "woah I'm already using that FC! That's mine." And I'd be like well gosh darn that's unfortunate. You didn't add your character to the masterlist. Then we gotta deal with all this crap of sorting things out. It's just a mess and never any fun.

Please add your characters to the masterlist. It maybe takes like two minutes, if that. It's not complicated or hard at all. It's easy.
