Ok, I really don't like making journals like this, but it seems to be an occurring theme, so I am going to point it out once again: I AM NOT AN ARTIST. I am a FANFICTION AUTHOR. All of the art on this page was either requested by me from other artists or gifted to me be artists or friends. I even have stated in my description of this profile that I AM NOT AN ARTIST. Now, while I am not upset over the fact that people tend to ask me this A LOT, it makes me wonder how many of you all are truly active followers here that actually know that I am not an artist? I get faves by so many people, people I respect for liking the content here and all, but where is the love for the artists who actually put their time and effort into said art? I can easily go to a handful of artists whose art makes up at least 65% of my profile and check their profiles and they still have the same amount of followers they have had for years while my follower count keeps going up and up and up each day.
I can also say that it's hard to see that I have any one who truly notices the work I put my daily life into with my stories when only ONE PERSON is favoriting my OWN CONTENT that, without that content, none of the art I have on this profile would even exist. So, what I am trying to say here is, while I am happy that there are those who like the art on my profile, don't forget to give some love to the people who actually took the time to make said content. Also, your love towards their content is great, but also do not forget that I make content as well that takes so much time of my life and I'd like to see some people enjoy it as well. I mean, be in my shoes for a minute: if there are people who claim they read your stories, wouldn't you like to see a favorite or two on these stories or some helpful criticism on these stories in order to improve as a writer?
.....I am probably going to get so much hate over this. Not like it's not normal to me, but this was on my mind for the last few hours, and I just needed to get it off my chest or I would drive myself insane. .....Or even more insane than I already am. Anyway, this journal will be deleted sometime tomorrow, or whenever I remember to do so.
