I totally like badges... but after reading a good friends journal. It might be nice to reflect on the horrible and wonderful things I have done here.


First off, and I cannot stress this enough. I only joined 9 years ago cause I was in high school and there was some great nudity on here. Specialty fandom  stuff. HAHA moving on.


When I first wanted to start being part of DA I went about it the wrong way. I used to DL HQ anime episodes and moves and take good screen caps and post them as reference material for artist. Some liked it but now I see, all I did was clutter DA with trash.

Then I made the leap into my MMO phases, specially Star Trek Online, which I would showcase my pictures and stories here for fans to read. This was me moving in the right direction as I included original stories.

This continued well into my Guild War II days that sadly ended faster than I wanted it too. However, I started to see how people reacted to the stories I wrote for them and really... started to feel inspired to do something more.

Finally! I started to digitize the book series I had been working on for so long. I took a great chance and with my anxiety to people reading my work and criticizing it. I want you to know how terribly bold and brave that was for me. But... :icontraceofhatred: read my first chapter and ..from then on out I really had the confidence I needed to write more.


Now I have found me a good group, wonderful friends, even some that I call family. I am, not ashamed of my writing anymore. IN fact this place showed me I have talent in certain writing fields. I wont say I am great or even good... but I have the confidence now to try.




So thank you DA and happy 14th!

Big Fool Emoji-07 (Cry) [V2]  Such a moving story.
I'm glad where your DA journey has lead you, even though it started with Porn Spam  hahahaha. I got my account to art stalk people, way before I even decided trying to write and draw - that happened two years after, and its thanks to all the influence of DA.



.....Chance: seriously ?
