To everybody that I've watched in the past few months...
14 years ago
(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ~『✧~*BOOP!*~✧』
... I say to you in return "You're very welcome, and thank YOU for contributing to this community with your great art!" It took me some time, but I've finally managed to figure out how to go back and pay my respects. I would love to reply to everybody individually and personally, but until the FA admins grace us with an easier way to respond to shouts and comments (*cough* like the system deviantART uses *cough*) then I'm afraid this journal will have to suffice. Because of the way the system works now, it's quite literally impossible for me to go back and check to see whether or not older Shouts are simple "thank you for watching" messages or something more. That's why I've fallen behind in returning the kindness that you all showed me when you took the time to visit my page and leave a comment. That having been said, it's going to be a long and arduous process of going back, clicking a link to somebody's user page and then hitting Ctrl+V, but in the end my hope is that the people I give this link to will appreciate the effort that I've put into making sure that they know that I'm not just another silent watcher. Seriously, you guys are the greatest! ♥
07/10/2016 EDIT: I am absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of people who took the time to read and respond to this journal! My only regret is that I haven't been able to respond to each and every one of you! Life, y'know? But don't think for a second that just because I haven't replied to you doesn't mean that I haven't managed to read your comment. I have in fact read every single one of them, going back the entire five years since I originally put this thing up! You - all of you - are what make this community great. Thank you!

This journal really made my day, thank you ShadowForsythe :3
*hugs*
Personally I prefer this system. I come here because I do not care for DA's programming. But that's just me.
I hope you have a great weekend!!!!!
How sweet!
This is wonderful, and very kind of you. Thank you for your watch, and for taking the time to compose this journal for us
so i thank u! :D
and i totally agree on the new messaging system.... this one kinda sucks T_T
Thank you though - it's nice to know that you're actually mindful of those you watch~
that was really sweet ;u; <3
And youre welcome! And thankYOU for watching me! :)
~Arctic Breeze
Thank you very much, you are great and I would love to write more things which explain how touched I am... but for that, my english is too bad D:
I wouldn't say DA's system is 100% perfect, haha, but I would definitely like to see nested shout strings just like the ones we can get on submissions/journals @_@; The current shout system is just .. clunky, I guess?
Robot Sister Lurves you.
Also..lol, good luck with the thousands of messages left.
Thank you for making my day!
But anyway- thank you again and I'm sure that with this journal you have not only made a day for many people, but also made submitting works on fA THIS much enjoyable for them!
made me smile
*shakes hands*
I am glad that you are taking the time to do this for all the people you are watching~
Ah thinkz u r Awesume!
Though the encouragement certainly doesn't go amiss ^_^
Thank you! :D
Thanks for the watch~
Your efforts shown here to let everyone know really is amazing. Only a truly kind person would take their time to do so!
So, thanks! We all appreciate this.
My art is hardly a grace on this site but I thank you for being so kind to me ;w; <3333
Thanks for the shout out =]
Better then the small note I have in my profile =P
Thanks for the thanks!!
I appreciate it
Sorry for the late reply >< I was out for a week ^^;
I also wish that we will be able to have something like dA has with the comments. I would really appreciate it.
For you, and everyone like, is that I'm here sharing my art.
Thanks a lot again for being there and making me want to keep on and doing my best.
*hugs*
I have moved to another residence. I have also obligations that prevent me from updating.
It is all however appreciated.
That really means a lot, its not easy to do that
So you sure, get a cookie. Possibly even a free sketch if you want it. Redeem now! Offer good through half-past December! :D
Thanks! :3
Have a lovely Xmas
~Out~
I must thank you once again I am very deeply touched by
your words in a great and wonderful sentence from the heart.
Lol, Many loves to you my friend.
Thanks so much, made my day. ^_^
This is more definitely the best way to do what you just did!
And thank you for enjoying my art!
And yes I agree with you about the reply system 'w'
So much love for u
I love the fact that this made so many artists happy.
thank you
without watchers or people who appreciate our art, we wouldn't be artists.
Cause we do the arts, to please and entertain, to have fun and make fun.
C:
Thank you for choosing me too I feel like a pikachu and I have always wanted to be a pikachu.
P.S: Hope i'm understandable, my english is not so good :(
if that is what you do...
:D
Thank you! And thanks for the watch -hugs!-
But, now I'm relieved to see what it was, I thank you so much for the watch! :D
Specially being as bad as i am getting these much kind words xD
Are a boss.
Thank you.
Thanks for the watch and your avatar is killing me XD
Well I just wanted to say thank you for the watch and I really look forward getting to know you ^_^ I hope I continue to make art you are interested in and hopefully I'll see more of you!
I hope you have a wonderful day and yep, your icon is just super cute lol!
Thanks again!
~E'lara
If you'd like to borrow this idea, feel free! ^_^
And I'll do my best to keep in touch, but unfortunately I can't make any promises. I watch so many people that it's easy for me to get lost in the amount of submissions that I go through on a daily basis. But I'll do what I can!
Have a great day! <3
And yeah, it would be great to have some sort of reply for the shoutbox/profile page like DA or even normal comments here on FA.
Anyway, thanks for the journal and for the watch :P.
Have a good day.
this is too sweet <3
So thank you very much for your support of so many awesome artists around here!
I'm glad I could bring a smile to your face. :)
So, thanks for the appreciation! =)
Also, I'm super new here... So tyvm and stuff :3
Thanks it means a lot you wrote the journal and watched me. Have a good night.
Thank you so much!
✬✫May the Seven guide you.✫✬
Thank you and may the Seven both guide and bless you as well. <3
Thanks for the watch!
Thank you very very much for the watch, and I hope you have a wonderful day!~
I'll try not to disappoint you as you stay around :P
And thank you for the kind welcome. :)
-- Lia
And thanks for the watch! I highly appricate it =3
every single little watcher means so much to me, and i'm glad you joined my little modest army of the damned!
thank you! :D <3
This is absolutely something for us all and we have to thank you for it <3
Have a good day :3
:)
I also think FA could use many features DA has :)
I really do appreciate you and ppl like you <3
You a wonderful creature <3
(I do apologize for not responding sooner! ; n ; Life and lack of time to spare, y'know?)
If these comments are any sort of indicator, that is.
Now I have the same idea on making similar linked journal like yours, if you don't mind, lol xD
btw, thanks for the watch too
(And you're very welcome, btw! :3)
Every time I feel like I'm losing spirit with my art, something happens that kicks my mood and overall outlook again!
Thanks for the small kick ;;
So thus, I say thank YOU for taking the time to +Watch my page. I hope you will enjoy future uploads as I continue work on comicking endeavors and other in-progress projects.
and, thank you for the watch!
Let me just thank you not only for the watch but for taking the time to write this. Also, I don't know how others think about this but I personally don't expect replies to saying "Thanks for watching" since you've already honored me by the watch itself. :) I just say thanks to express that it means a lot.
There will be a day, I hope, when I get so many watches that I can't afford the time to go and say thanks to everyone. ;) But until hat, I do. For me personally, the main reason to make art is to share something, and if people watch me its a reward of its own.
Thank you for the kind words, and know that people like you make us artist feel all warm and loved. :) Thanks!
Anyways, thanks so much!!
and WHOOPS typos
Thank you. I don't really do much art, I'm more of a writer. But enjoy my writing all the same.
Keep giving back to creators! We really appreciate it, man. Thank you for the kindness :^)
P.S. You're welcome for the watch! ^_^
(that's a lot of comments) XD
Thanks for the watch!!
Glad my art was appealing enough to follow me! Hold on, it can be a bumpy ride lol
Having actually heard back from you, and readin' these kind words of yours, I daresay the gamble paid off! Thank you for taking the time to read this journal and submit a reply!
(Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go get my armor on and prepare for that bumpy ride you mentioned! )
HEH!
awww thank u, I'm happy u like her <3
ya i haven't seen it really either, so that inspired me to do that :)
Thank you so much for being our first watch!
love your storyteller ravens
I'm sorry I didn't reply until now. Even more sorry that you haven't earned 100x more watches by now! You've both got such a wonderful talent, and I'd hate to see it wasted by obscurity!
I kinda wanna steal this idea >w>
I draw Vansante all the time. It's like my favorite couple--so I'm glad you like em'. I pop around every now and again to post some smut sketches, so I'll be around a little more. I have another piece with them that I was thinking of posting.
thank you so much for the watch,the journal and the attention. It means a lot. Cheers.
Thank you so very much for the watch. I just want to let you know that I really appreciate it, my friend. That, and I am also very happy you read my work. You're a class act, amigo.
Thank you for the watch!
Thank you very kindly for the watch. It always makes me happy to see someone enjoys my art enough to keep seeing it in their inbox!
And yeah I do agree with the reply to shouts, would be quite handy actually ;v;/
Still not sure why the system hasn't been updated after all this time. I mean, so much else has...
Thank you
And thank you! I'm glad you like it, and took the time to read everything! <3
I am fairly new to this community, but thank you for liking my art and my fursona. Means a lot to me.
<3
(I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you!)
For the watch too, hope I can make it worth your time!
Thank you so much!!(´。• ω •。`) ♡
(I am so sorry that it took me so long to acknowledge your comment!)
Thank you for watching its appreciated :)
You're welcome! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to your comment!
it's crazy rad.
Thank you very much for following me, I must admit your icon made me chuckle when I saw it in my notifications.
=)
Thank you for takin' the time to read and reply!
Hope to draw some stuff worth your time.
thank you for the watch, I really appreciate it! I hope you enjoy my future works.
Thanks for your very kind words & for the time you took writing that, once again. :)
Sorry, I got a little distracted and got too deep into this. In any case, I am very glad that I saw your magazine and my soul felt warm, thank you again for the nice words you wrote!
If/when we do manage to work together, I may insist on offering payment first. There's a reason for this, and you can ask many of the artists I've worked with before. That reason is that I know it can be difficult for the person I've commissioned, sometimes more than they'd let on. I insist on paying first because I don't to put them in a situation where payment is asked for after the fact, and for whatever reason it cannot be delivered. That is a slap in the face. By offering payment before, the artist knows that the money is guaranteed theirs. And why's that? Because I never request refunds. Even if we were to do it as a payment plan kind of deal, I will never ask for whatever I've paid you back, should something happen that requires me to cancel the commission. This policy has burned me before, but I don't care, because in the end it's about helping someone out. Artists aren't the tools they draw with, they are people, and people have needs, and needs usually require money. A good example? I commissioned someone maybe four or five months ago, for something that cost me 120$, and I haven't heard back from them. And I'm okay with that, because I know they've been going through some rough times. Even if I never hear back from them, I'll rest easy knowing that, even if only for a little bit, I made their life easier.
I hope I didn't wake you up and you slept well👉👈
Alas, though, no, I didn't sleep well. Rarely do, for a variety of reasons. But that hasn't fully stopped me yet!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
