But I hope you're looking at views, because several of your written works garner more views than many of my drawings - and in a fraction of the time. Even your more recent pieces already have more views than drawings I submitted five months ago.

You've been a "deviant" for 2 years, and I've been one for nine. You have over 80k views, and I have only 18k. I realize this is the "complain about things" thread, but, put in perspective, you've gotten a hell of a lot more attention, appreciation, and - concerning your love (which matters the most) - understanding. More than most probably do on dA; short of being outrageously talented artists.

Oh, and even if half of your watchers were DEAD, you'd *still* have more than I have. Half the battle on dA seems to be just plain getting noticed; you've done that.

You would mention writing, and wanting feedback for it, but I couldn't find any threads here that you seemed to be talking about. I assumed that you would have a link button like Ziggy and I do for our DAs, if you had one. I thought you might be talking about a fanfiction site, or pastebin or something. Well, now Ziggy's comment drove me to search, and there you are.

Holy Toledo, you really do have a lot of stuff to peruse! I look forward to it, as time permits.

Honestly when I posted this, overall I was more upset at the fact several of my close friends, people who I've been friends with for years have basically all but left now. Yes I understand the concept of life outside the internet but it still doesn't change the fact it stings that I feel like I've lost them and there's no indication they'll ever come back, at least not anytime soon.

...I honestly never linked my dA page out of paranoia. I might now that you mentioned it.
