So, in my very first days of being on FA (way back in July 2017), I received my first ever note. At the time, I had only had a handful of images uploaded, and was working on my free "Welcome to the Herd" project. I probably didn't even know what a note even was back then before clicking on the notification. :-P All it was titled was "question" which, well, obviously didn't reveal much before opening it. I probably assumed at the time it had to do with my "Welcome to the Herd" project (which was feral only, as I wasn't confident in drawing anthros then). So I then opened the note and began to read:

Hello,

i see your wonderful and excellent anthro artwork and want ask you are you open for Request ?

If Yes Scroll Under

Underneath it was an a brief explanation of their story they had. Or... well, except it wasn't brief. It just kept on going on, and on, and on..... Specific scenes, other fan-arts, character descriptions, links... I have ran the note through a word counter is it is the longest note I have ever received by a long shot, 2377 words. It's absolutely phenomenal, as it's about a story that only a first time fan-artist would ever love, dysfunctional grammar and an absolute bombardment of very specific requests.

Mind you, at the time, I had only drawn a single anthro piece at the time, which was (and still is) my profile picture. And let's be honest, I had enough sense at the time this note was a scam, to go after newbie artists who could easily be exploited for exposure with this copy pasted wall of text. :-P

But I never actually read all the way through it as I gave up after the first paragraph or two. And well, just for fun, I do want to stream reading though the whole thing. :-P I'm curious to see if any others would want to listen in!
I'm planning on streaming a lot over the next few days (as I have the house to myself) so I'm curious to find out what time would work the best for those interested in the reading! So please leave a comment below if you are interested and what time works best for you. I'll try my best to find a time that will work for the most amount of people.


Also, as a disclaimer, I don't want to attack or harass the user who sent this note. The writer is obviously German, and well, it does take quite the determination to write something and to also put yourself out there for people to read and critique your work. This note was also made over 4 years ago, and the writer as likely has also matured significantly by this point so hopefully they too will be able to also have a laugh over this.
