THANK YOU!
10 years ago
The past week had me focused on FA alot more than usual.
Normally FA is my way to connect with the furry world on a daily basis and i do so through art. I absolutely love the fur-community for various reasons but the main one is just that: Art. Even if i don't have the economy to commission stuff myself it does warm my heart and stir my creative mind when i see all the amazing things furries create when i browse my favorite artists.
Then this week started and i was lucky enough to win a free raffle by a well-known animator. An absolutely amazing break for me that was on a rather horrible streak of bad things happening one after another. But for reasons i'm not allowed to discuss here i was not given the prize: To get one of my pictures animated.
This in turn made me create my first journal questioning this fact in a rather proper manner as i did not agree with this nor what the Administration had to say about it.
This created a snowball effect and the absolutely insane ammount of support and gifts i got from the community was staggering. <3
Wether it was to cheer me upp. Not back down or some other reason i don't know or can mention here. Whatever it was i'm absolutely grateful and it was one heck of a positive boost of energy that i needed.
I never even asked for help or support it simply just appeared. I made the joke of a 'wolfpack mentality' wich is starting to feel pretty accurate. When one individual in the community gets mistreated... Out of nowhere the rest of the pack appears!
But let's get down to why i made this journal.
I'm someone that think proper credit and show of appreciation should be given where its due and if i can redirect even a small ammount of people reading this journal to the various artists that sent me art during this ordeal it'd make me very very happy!
As i already knew but what became more apparent than ever this week: For artists in the furry fandom PR is everything. Hopefully this will put the generosity and talent of this set of furs into the spotlight!
First and foremost the animators that took their time to animate the absolutely amazing piece that was originally submitted during the raffle aswell as one that was made from scratch with a theme i got to pick myself!
These really did stump me; Several times over i just sat there staring at them. <3

But I'm glad what happened with this situation. Because of some issues I've had recently (in the passed year), I have to admit I was looking pretty down on the fandom and have honestly had thoughts of abandoning it.
But after this, it proved to me that there's still some good people here, and I'm happy for it. Especially since you managed to take what looked like a terrible (and greedy) situation and make it out to this wonderful conclusion.
Was not able to save nor upload it. :c
I'll add the original link. : >
Overall my view on the furry fandom only amplified what i already knew: Its filled with amazing folks. ^__^
You know were always there if you need us, even thou we might be hiding under a rock or a snowpile somewhere ._.
good that things kinda turned out good. It even open my eyes about that person. Cant believe i liked that one haha...
But now I am glad for you since I think this turned out for you into a nice experience regarding the community^^
Aye. This experience is something i'll always carry with me. Not just by the fandom but a life lesson itself.
There's always awesome people out there. :>
Awesome art btw~
Take care~
And the art is absolutely fantastic. <3
Just as awesome is the class and respect you've displayed.

There are all lovely pieces! <3 I hope you are feeling better on the situation. Have a great day ;w;
I just have alot of commission work to catch up on but I will
make ya something nice for sure =p
I hope you feel better after the injustice you had experienced.
I'm getting overwhelmed in awesomeness. x_x;
Make sure to prioritize the commissions and put me in the far far back and i shall gladly accept your generosity. ^_^;
As per feeling better; Absolutely. I've gotten in contact with alot of intresting furs wich is a gift in its own right. : >
community can really be something beautiful
I'll note you. o7
What was done for you though... that is meaningful action. This is simply one example of the voice of reason that exists in the community and I am genuinely happy for you that a wrong was made right 10 fold. What's also pleasing is how you've handled the situation in a display of impeccable character and humility while also standing up for yourself; something even I'm not all that good at and just come off as someone with fists swinging usually. ;) Keep up that demeanor. It's the kind that's respected in this community and will bring genuine people into your fold, not cheap groupies/fanboys.
I don't know what to say to all of this other than that i'm flattered.
I tried to write something witty about all of this but i just get stumped by what you wrote. I'm just not able to add anything to this.

I am really happy for you though! Good on you and the community for sticking together!
On a serious note though.. Why can't we fav journals? That's a really good point. :)
