Okay.

Sat Jun 7, 2008, 1:51 AM
It's 5:30 in the fucking morning and I'm still awake, so I figured I'd do something halfway productive and explain to everyone why I haven't been as active around here for the past year or so.

The answer's simple: this place is a fucking cesspool. It was created undoubtedly with good intentions but has turned into a place with enough frivolous e-drama, misconceptions, and relentless egocentrism to overturn MySpace on its ass. This place is a hovel for 13-year-old kids who have no shred of talent whatsoever and come here to whore themselves out for ridiculous nonsense they call art, trying to justify themselves as true artists by posting overly-rendered anime art, inflation art, or--god help me--furries. Don't get me wrong. There are some goddamned good artists floating around here, many of which I've had the pleasure of meeting in person. But god fucking forbid they don't get on the front page because they haven't drawn Naruto or Death Note fanart or taken photographs of their cats or ball-jointed dolls.

I love to draw fanart and will probably keep doing it, but don't expect me to update anything regularly or continue any of the projects I have going on here. Fact of the matter is I've moved on, kids. I'm interested in a career in art and continuing to cater to 13-year-old fanbrats is not going to get me anywhere. You'll also find that I'm discontinuing posting any chapters of NecrophiliAugury here and will probably remove the entire story sometime this summer. Why? Simply put, people were liking it for entirely the wrong reasons. It's more than a little disturbing to have a adolescent girl describing to you how much she idolizes a character who is clearly a sociopath and a physical masochist. That was not the message I wanted to convey with that story, and I apologize if anyone has received a different impression from it. If anyone is seriously interested in reading the rest of the story, I'll be glad to type up a final chapter and share it with you. But if you are underage, I will ignore you. You should not be reading it in the first place. Find a good, strong role model who you can truly look up to as you move on in life.

Like I said, I'll probably keep posting my fanart here, because this is where that shit belongs. You will not, however, see any of my original art on this website any longer.

Fuck, I'm tired. I'll continue this rant later.

Though I'm incredibly annoyed at the fact that a bunch of 13-year-olds are stopping the writing of what I now consider one of my favorite stories (yes, I get easily emotionally attached to this kind of thing), I don't want you to just puke out an extra chapter to have the thing done and over with.

If you ever feel like continuing it, send me a copy. Same name as my account, at hotmail.com. If you don't, feel free to just share a link to wherever you plan on posting your original stuff (if anywhere at all).

I, as your fangirl, support you.

some people are just a little too ridiculous with the fan art honestly. I have some, but hell i have some original stuff. I may be young but i know stupid when i see it and some of the people here fit the description perfectly.

*sigh* Stupid fanbrats ruin everything...and here I was being out of character and optimistic, hoping that you would say something about updating soon.

Guess it's a good thing I have a y-gallery account. I'm going to stalk you there, now.

Love is just a four-letter word for "here are my heart and soul, please take them and grind them into hamburger meat."

I must admit, I think it's ridiculously funny when some younger people think they're such "Great" artists and put crappy artwork up. But at the same time, we all started out that way. We were proud of our "crappy" artwork. So, I think that we shouldn't judge them about it because we were once in their shoes.

Favorite yaoi pairings: NaruSasu, KakaIru.

Favorite het pairings (if it ends up that way): NaruSaku, SasuKarin.

I agree this isn't the best place. I think it takes a lot of time to get past the fanbrats, noobs, and tards to find people that really make you grow artistically. I wouldn't give it up for posting original art here if I were you. But if you prefer it that way go for it. The maturity of your art is probably too high for the standard adolescent anyway.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. How could I forget? Sasuke says all he needs to say by not saying anything at all in regards to Sakura. So naturally that means everything when we take the pairing perspective on this. ~jin-desu
:icongoheh:
I couldn't agree with you more :D
On to better things, m'dear!

Chemists do it periodically on table.

Physicists do it until it hertz.

I hope you're flexible, cause baby, I'm gonna invert your stereochemistry.

Death is Life's way of telling you that you're fired.

Thanks, I was wondering where you'd gone. There's just one chapter left, and if you really honestly are interested in reading it, I don't mind typing it up for you. I'm for sure going to be putting together my own website for original works, and who knows, maybe the story will show up there. I don't think that will filter out the kids from reading it by any means, but at least my conscience will be eased a little.

I don't care if people draw fanart. I'm not one of those DA elitist cunts who bitch that fanart isn't real art. I love fanart and I won't stop drawing it. To me, it's about quality and creativity, and for the love of god, not a photograph of a ball-jointed doll you bought with a grand of your parents' money.

Here's an example of someone who draws fanart yet I consider to be one of the worst artists here.

*ramy All this person does is draw anime characters standing there with blank looks on their faces, yet they are one of the most popular artists here. That's the shit I'm talking about. Have a little fucking originality.

ok that's a waste of DA's bandwidth... I'ts like people that buy ugly shit just because it's sparkly.

I'll still update here. Just not with anything I regard as serious artwork.
