I would say the same to you HungryLurker....Fun fact: I actually came across you on Furaffinity, as trying to find artists on DA will be a needle in a haystack if you ask me, so sometimes I find artists who post blueberry inflation content on FA to be easier compared to DA (the same goes with Weasyl).

I personally stopped using twitter three years after I made one in 2012, due to the character limit and just used it as a social media account to try and enter into camera giveaway contests (and didn't win a single time if you ask me). But by the time 2016/2017 came around, I barely used the site, and after Facebook Instagram password leak occurred, I immediately closed out my Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts altogether on May 1st, 2019, but not before I made an archived zip file and LibreOffice document of all of the posts I've made on Facebook & Twitter (Instagram I didn't post much since it was only an extra social media account I barely used). Since then I haven't gone back to twitter, and most likely for the better. Considering now that some artists are leaving that place over Twitter/X using people's artwork for A.I. generated content, I wouldn't go for it if you ask me. Plus, even trying to scroll or access that site is a pain in the ass, and asks me to sign up/log in to twitter every time I try to enter someone's twitter account, only for it to be completely broken, or works successfully (50/50 I would say).

But it's up to other to decide what the audience would like to see, not just me. And I do agree, the internet is a blessing in disguise, but is also a curse if you ask me. And while some of the internet is due to having it be typed or searched in a different language, I've come across many sites through different links of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Saudi Arabian/middle eastern, UK, Ireland, Europe, Australia, Canadian, and South American country websites or fan pages from years back, to this very day. Considering I've used the internet since September 17th, 2005, I stopped bothering to play on video game consoles and even PC games, to spend the most amount of time searching on the web of what I could think of at that time. And now, 15/20 years later, I feel like I've searched enough, and would tell others to be inspired to search as much as you can, even if the internet is becoming censorious by the year, so enjoy it while you can until shit hits the fan if you ask me. Many of our parents and grandparents would have died for something like this, had it exist in their timeframe, but it didn't. It's been 33 years since the internet was introduced back in 1991, the same year that Sonic The Hedgehog 1 was released on the Sega Genesis that year.

DA's search features have been dog shit for years, ever since they started to phase out the prevalence and point of artists groups, and the search feature stopped functioning properly about three years ago, but oddly enough, switching the search criteria to "Most Recent" still works as intended... even if it means having to wade through the deluges of awful "art" that gets posted with the searched tag. Fur Affinity's search functions appear to operate much better, which should be a point of shame for DA.

Twitter's constrictive character limit and endless feed format are why I don't like the concept of the site in general, let alone that it's become the primary if not sole gallery for some artists, but the fact remains that it still the most populated website on the planet, so my intent is just to use it to advertise my off-site galleries, like this one. Since Twitter is designed to treat people's thoughts and work like a disposable commodity, that was how I intended to use Twitter; as nothing more than disposable advertising, just as a means of reaching people who I'd actually care about, rather than falling into the trap of using people to care about Twitter. I've spoken ill before of people who are "terminally online," and I've seen how that has destroyed some people, even within these artistic circles, and especially if they start using their platform as a soap box to get ensnared about politics. (Robin Ieck, anyone?)

I've seen people become addicted to Twitter, yes, which is why I didn't, and don't, intend to use it as anything other than a means to reach people, and if anything, to draw them away from Twitter by only posting thumbnails of my art that they'd have to leave Twitter to see in full. That way, It'd be using Twitter as a tool, not letting Twitter make a tool of me.

>[remembers the exact day you started using the internet]

Man, that is some hyper autism. I don't even remember the precise year that I first used the internet. (1997, maybe? I don't know...)

Very weird...For me, it doesn't work very well, and it just makes me continue to scroll through page after page no matter what....DA to me has been kind of shit after 2015, and hasn't recovered since the transition from their old HTML/Flash website to the wix one....Considering how old DA is for 25 years, even Youtube isn't the same as it once was, and that platform is a much larger tragedy compared to DA for all I know.

I see...For me I barely used that platform, which is why I closed mine out and never came back since 2019 when I closed all three of them out (including Facebook & Instagram). But if you wish to go make a Twitter/X account, be my guest, but I do hope it lets others know your art channel does exist...For me I would be fine with Weasyl and Youtube if you ask me, even Rule34.

Yeah....Twitter to me wasn't the one I was addicted to the most, it's Youtube. Being able to come back to videos and not have to worry about people being on the same post you just so happen to be there when it occurs. Sometimes I end up being a year, two or three years late, or even days late to when the video uploads, not to mention the amount of tabs I sill have to shift through that it's made me open up 4 browser on all of my accounts with the exception of my second Youtube account that's caused me to go on some watching binge here and there, but that's about it. But I absolutely do spend more time looking at artwork, fan stories, and listening to music than I do with video games, social media and youtube videos I would say.

Yep...What made me start noticing dates was when my mom showed me surveillance footage of me being with my home instructor/early intervention therapist "Janet" (Very helpful lady that sadly retired in the 2010s), who helped me with my math, English, and speech skills at a very young age of 3/4 years old. Although you would know based on the footage for the early intervention tests that I was somewhat impatient and such, or didn't like the way to put the feet on the ground and would rather put it on the table like a lazboy chair, you can see why I didn't start school until September 1999. And considering my birthday was near the holidays/middle of the school year, it would be weird for me to start in January while everyone started in September. As for if I was living in the south say the continent of "South America", "South Africa", or "Australia/New Zealand", that would be a different story since my birthday down there would be near the start of summer if you ask me (Which, as of me speaking this, it will eventually become summer....Surprising how this year's going by so quick it's almost 2025 next month....Hence why I tell people that once June and July comes around, it's only a matter of time until December rolls around)....And from there, the surveillence footage of me with my therapist/speech herlper "Janet" showed the time and date of the recorded footage in the bottom left corner, which is how I discovered and started remembering dates and time, just from watching recorded 8mm tapecasette camcorder footage (which we still have the cassette tapes and the camcorder my dad used to film us until 2009 when we replaced it with a sony 720p digital camcorder, and eventually the smartphones instead of separate cameras). So since the year 2000, I've started to pay more attention to dates than I did when I was a baby/3 years old...

Wait,, 1997....8O...O__O....Wait a minute....Are you telling me you discovered the internet around the time my older siblings did!?!?! That's insane.....No one ever told me or showed me the internet until I did a school project using the old Generation 3 iMacs in September 2005, the same year Google Earth was launched, and Adobe Flash/Macromedia Shockwave Player and Quicktime Player 6/7 was around.....(Sighs)....

Maybe my memory fails me, but I don't remember DA really hitting the skids until it was sold to Wix in 2017 and Angelo Sotira became it's sole remaining founder. That's what lead to the awful redesign of "eclipse" mode in 2018, and the even more awfully designed new logo in 2019.

It's a bit of a moot point now, since I did end up opening a Twitter account, anyway. My plans to use it mostly as an advertisement for galleries like these and interact with artists I respect but who seem to exclusively use Twitter (to my chagrin, like Raikovjaba) has not changed. I haven't used it at all yet, though; it's low on my priority list, especially since I have so much on my plate between not clearing out my FA messages from all the favorites for the Cynder pic before uploading the new Genevieve picture.

I actually do have an Instagram, but I never, ever use it, and I will never, ever get a Facebook account. Jeff Zuckerborg (misspelling intentional) needs to be "retired" by Blade Runners.

I do, ashamed to say, have a pretty serious YouTube addiction. Sometimes I can spend tens of minutes just aimlessly browsing for something to listen to in the background as I draw, only to spand out of it, realize I'm wasting my time, and open up either a media-relevant music playlist to what I'm drawing, or some hours-long podcast I've already listened to many times over just to essentially have some background noise.

Yeah, I am what then anons on 4Chan would call an "oldfag." I won't say how long I've been around, except to say that Johnny Swell's The Bizarre Adventures of Berry Girl, the seminal comic that had the ingenious idea to combine blueberry inflation with breast expansion and subsequently codified blueberry inflation as a fetish, being almost as influential as the movies themselves, was first posted to the internet right around the time I first started noticing how fucking wicked awesome tits were.

I mean, many wouldn't notice until 2017, but many others and I first heard the announcement of the new DA logo, and the group, including myself, all dread where DA was going, and since 2014, 20 years ago, it hasn't been the same since. And now where it is today 25 years later, I do think the old style from 2010 - 2013 in my opinion was the best layout you could ever want. FA already had their layout as early as 2010, but has kept it unlike what deviantART has nowadays. But the sad thing is that things change for the better or for the worst (I'm still waiting on ArtSpacious to this very day, but it's been put on hold for years so I'm not expecting the place to get started anytime soon until years or decades later if you ask me).

Eh, if that's what you wanted to go with, Twitter, Facebook, I'm not stopping you. I just don't use it and prefer other methods including images if I need to find something or through other searches on the world wide web/internet....Ehh, that's fine, I wasn't expecting a reply soo soon after my many posts, thinking you were too busy to bother commenting so, I left it as I have said here and moved on.

Good to know, but I rarely use it considering how much scrolling I have to do on a backup account, but at least I finally got my main one back after two years and such (But by then I stopped looking at fakemon through there considering I already had what I needed until my HDD and Windows 22h2 on Windows 10 pretty much destroyed and ruined all of my files, file names, and corrupted some things which I have to start from square one on some of the extra guests I have. And I've yet to complete my main blueberry inflation story by at least December 1st, 2025, so it's may sound far, but not that far away and we'll be back in the winter before you know it).

Mmmm, I mean, for Mark, his social media last year turned 20 years old, which is impressive, but I don't know what he or his other assistant has been up to. At this point he should be satisfied of where he currently is, but I do agree, he needs to step down much like what Jack Dorsey and Susan Wocjiki did (which surprisingly Susan actually died back in August 2024 from breast/liver cancer surprisingly, so that's taken care of).

Yeah, it started to become more apparent to me during 2023 up until now where I have over 80 Youtube tabs to go through, but I have yet to watch them if you ask me. But I'm getting there, one video at a time of course, or play them all at once and just hear noise because I felt like it on that day).

Ahh yeah, I haven't heard that term in a very long time. Also, Bizarre Adventures of Berry Girl....That might have been something I've heard of years back, but I don't remember what it looked like. If someone has a copy of that comic, I would love to read it to try and refresh my memory to see how that turned out. But for me, I'm not a big fan of boobs, tits, and buttock parts when it comes to blueberry inflation. Crotch, Genitals, and clothing/accessories that snap, rip, or break off of the female creature to reveal their fully naked blueberry body is what I like, or the swimsuits/compression clothing (exercise or not) is my kind of clothing I like, but that's just me.

Hmm, for me it was the classic 1971 Violet Beauregarde scene or blueberry inflation, both in the movie and on the 1996 videocassette and the 2001 30th anniversary DVD cover that made me fall in love with blueberry inflation (which turns out my mom loved it back when she was growing up, my dad, not so much so, that's where the love for blueberry inflation was passed down on, but as my mom got older it didn't matter much anymore since she's more worried about me being independent and living on my own rather than stuck in the house with her. Don't get me wrong, I would love to, but I don't have motivation to do so, and very little money to pay rent. I'll have to find some second job out there and fix my sleep schedule once and for all....hopefully).

To borrow a joke from Fleekazoid, Deviant Art's mantra on redesigning its own website seems to be: "If it ain't broke, break it."

I've been so caught up in other stuff, important or not, that I still haven't even followed anyone on Twitter. I really should, because despite my disdain for the concept of using it as a gallery, there are some exceptionally talented artists on there.

I hadn't realized Facebook was so old. I didn't notice it even existed until 2010, and even then, I care less for it than I did for MySpace, which I did not care for much, either, and that was well before Zuckerborg and company colluded with the FBI to violate the First Amendment. If it goes under, good riddance, I say.

I'd be shocked if you've never so much as seen The Bizarre Adventures of Berry Girl. Even if you've never seen it, you have seen its influence, because it's ubiquitous. You can find an unofficial reupload of it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Blueberry/.....rl_full_comic/ Keep in mind that many common tropes in blueberry inflation were first featuredd in this comic. Looking through it is like going back and playing Halo: Combat Evolved and seeing all the mechanics in that game that have become industry standards in first-person shooters today.

You owe it to yourself to be self sufficient. You can't truly achieve self actualization without it.

Wait, you worded that last paragraph strangely. Do you mean to say that your mother loved the movies... or did she also have a fetish for blueberry inflation? O_o

Very true.

For me I haven't bothered to check Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram since I closed out those accounts 6 years back and I don't regret it either. Partially because my family kept tagging my name into it which is why I closed out that account because of that (but I have the backups for it if I ever need to look back onto it). For me, Youtube, DA, FA, Weasyl, Rule34, E621, Discord, and Telegram are my go to sites nowadays and don't bother to go to any other site except just to find another place to open up my group and such. I haven't visited Itaku or Pixiv in a while so, I've yet to go there and check on it to see what's been going on there. Other than that, I've been working on my own projects, playing video games on Steam, and doing other things outside of the internet.

Yep, Facebook and Now Youtube are 20+ years old (time flies when you're in school or outside of school), but it happens. Considering I didn't even know Facebook existed until December 2010, had an account on it from January 1st, 2011 up until May 1st, 2019, for Twitter it was January 1st, 2012 up until May 1st, 2019 and go from there...So far it sadly hasn't gone under as it changed its name to Meta, but even then, Mark apparently had a sudden change of heart out of nowhere, as if he realized he's completely changed from what he was 5/6 years prior....Very strange.

Well, from looking at the comic, at that time I was a bit young to see the full thing, since it was 18+, but I do remember seeing the comic from back in the late 2000s early 2010s. But the thing is ehh, it was okay to say the least (wasn't my cup of tea). But I can see why people really, really loved that comic, just that it wasn't the one that I was inspired by the most. the 1971 blueberry inflation movie scene, combined with the Wonka Gum videos on youtube, as well as the video "Blown Up In Blue" were the top three that made me fall in love with body inflation in the first place. Sometimes, the original blueberry inflation shape is so perfect, everything else is merely just too big or oddly shaped to say the least. But as I was researching and talking to people about it, I figured out how to get it down pact and thus, be able to create the perfect idealized shape every time, albeit the blueberry gum piece, heavily modified to have the character swell up not too big, but not too small, but also be more of a lifestyle choice akin to playing video games, watching TV shows and movies, as well as listening to music and such, travelling/Vacationing/Camping, etc.

"You owe it to yourself to be self sufficient. You can't truly achieve self actualization without it."................Hmmmmm..............Not sure what we were talking about here, it's been a month since the last comment here.

Okay, it sounded weird or off but the simple explanation I can mention is this: My family all grew up with the 1971 film than the 2005 film, hence why the quotes would be brought up from time to time (it's such a classic that my mom and I, upon seeing the Charlie and the chocolate factory film in theaters nearly 20 years ago, my mom hated it, but I always felt nervous/humiliated for the oompa loompa song, which I still feel to this very day). But my mom, for some reason, always brings up my dad wearing so many outfits like an oompa loompa and one of her favorite scenes growing up was the violet beauregarde blueberry inflation scene as a young girl. My dad however liked the Veruca salt one more often because of the song talking about how spoiled and bratty people can be.

So suffice to say, where my inspiration and love/fetish for blueberry inflation was passed down from my mom taking interest in the same thing that I loved, albeit never really opened it up to her and so, every time I would see the scene I would hide my blush, knowing how sexy the scene is to me, even though I was only 5 when I first saw it, and 11 years old upon revisiting it. It's so perfect that I don't want to change any of it and keep it as it is. And to this very day, I still play that song for mast&&&&&&&n purposes whenever I need to relieve myself. It's just that as time went by, seeing individuals become super blueberry inflated beyond 6/7 feet tall and wide, not having characters waddle and always having their bodies potentially explode due to so much juice in the body was a turn off for me for many years, despite seeing the 2005 film in theaters, the songs were okay (Violet's one was fine for some of the parts, but the other songs, not so much)...Again, no matter how many adaptations, fan made stuff people make, you can't beat the classics for me, it's just so well done, even though it's not that realistic, it's gotten to the point that many of my stories feature anthro female characters who prefer to do the blueberry inflation 18+ sessions in the comfort of their house rather than in public places. For me, my inspirations were more of say "The factory tour" type of scenario, and then years later Wonka eventually does another tour but this time inviting 10,000 guests to try out his new and improved chewing gum meal; and if it works out well, launches it for the public to consume and enjoy the side effect of blueberry inflation, or the gum piece without the side effect, but having the anthro pokemon, digimon, creatures, etc. living alongside human beings with similar interests, personalities, and mindsets, albeit envisioned how I would see life as (even though it wouldn't be realistic to real life. I just don't like certain personalities from other people, that's just me).

So for the last part to sum it up, what made me love blueberry inflation in the first place was that my mom loved it when the 1971 film was released in theaters when she was a little girl, and then bough the video cassette tape for my siblings and I to enjoy the film as much as my parents did, thus my love for blueberry inflation started there. So yeah, that's how I ended up being a blueberry inflation/body inflation fanatic for nearly 2 decades now. But again, I do hope that far into the future, it would no longer be fiction, but become something that we can buy in real life, aka finally become a real product for inflation/weight gain fanatics everywhere.

That to me, or abilities like time/dimension traveling, shapeshifting/transformation, duplicating/cloning myself, and summoning anything, including anthro pokemon creatures, to either entertain the world or to be humble and happy with a better life, would be the most beautiful and best christmas/birthday gift I could ever ask for.

I'm afraid you'd be pretty late to the party if you decided to use Twitter now. Maybe, 6-7 years ago, it was a good place for creatives to gain new followings, but that has certainly changed. Its algorithms are far less helpful to newcomers, making it difficult to gain any sort of traction. That's even ignoring the "Dead Internet Theory" at play there. Twitter is still pretending to have users, but most people have figured out that its traffic just comes from bots and sponsored accounts. That's why a lot of people are migrating to alternatives like Bluesky and Mastodon. Those sites have real users, so engagement is way better there for newcomers.

If you want to start posting your work on a "Twitter-like" site, Bluesky or Mastodon would be my recommendation. However, neither of them are really that geared towards artists specifically, they are social media sites first and foremost. Personally, I've heard Itaku is one of the best new sites for artists out there. It's got some very robust organizational tools and broad acceptance of a lot of kinds of art. I'm no visual artist, but if I was, it would be my first choice.

With all that said, don't limit yourself to just one specific site for your art, even if you really like it. If you want to share your stuff, you should make use of every good platform for sharing it that you can. This also helps to make your online presence more resilient, since, if you get banned or your work gets removed from one site, you have plenty of backups. Become a Digital Hydra!

Also, tangentially related to this, but have you considered getting an account on Archive of Our Own? I've found it to be one of the best sites for writers to get engagement and post their work, with tons of useful features. It's a fanfiction site, but you can upload practically any kind of writing you want on it, as their rules are very inclusive. Given the extensive (and wonderfully erotic) stories you often pair with your drawings, I think you could get some great traction on AO3 by posting them there, as well. You could even use the site's formatting tools to embed your drawings in your fics directly. Even if you consider yourself more of an artist than a writer, having a site like that which can accommodate both at once would be ideal, especially since Twitter/Bluesky/Mastodon have never been built with long-form writing in mind, what with their character limits and all. That's the main reason I've never used them.

I was also really, really late to the Deviant Art party, and I still amassed over one thousand followers in only a year and a half before my pious, persecutory banning, despite having an upload schedule as shitty as about only one picture per month. Hell, Thiccircle joined both DA and Twitter even later than I did, and despite posting even more infrequently than I do, has amassed over three times as many followers as I did. (That's the power of blueberry inflation sequences... maybe I should draw one sometime...)

"Dead internet theory" is a strange way of saying "bot crisis," but for as much as it was a catastrophic problem, from what I've heard, the presence of bots on Twitter has been severely reduced since 2022: not as thoroughly purged as when the slumbering deity GabeN and the Valve pantheon became enraged enough to awaken and bring the cleansing fires of exterminatus upon the Team Fortress 2 bot hosters, but bot sightings on Twitter have significantly decreased after all the useless parasites who were infesting the headquarters just to get paid to take 2 hour long naps and drink all the "red wine on taPP" were either fired or driven to leave when they were threatened with actually having to do productive work.

>"If you want to start posting your work on a "Twitter-like" site, Bluesky or Mastodon would be my recommendation."

Off-brand social media sites like Mastodon and BlueSky are the social media equivalent of boomtowns that terminally online Twittards try migrating to whenever they don't get exactly their way on Twitter. The only reason anyone has even heard of Mastodon is because of the mini-exodos of people who left in protest after Elon Musk purchased Twitter in 2022, only for most of thm to eventually make their way back to Twitter by 2023. (They just can't resist...) I see Blue Sky as the exact same story, except it's people leaving Twitter in disdain over the reelection of President Donald Trump, and except with even more in-fighting and purity cycle purging (Blue Sky staff reported they'd received a record 42,000 content reports in a single day -- an amount equal to one-eighth of all the reports they'd received in the entirety of 2023). Given my principles and political beliefs, I wouldn't fit in there at all; they'd probably report me just because I'd refuse to put my ("FUCKING") pronouns in my bio. I can't see Mastodon or Blue Sky as anything but failed left wing fringe equivalents of the failed and failing even harder right wing Truth Social.

>"I've heard Itaku is one of the best new sites for artists out there."

I've... been on Itaku since Christmas of 2022. It is my least successful gallery, even more than New Grounds. I haven't even gotten a single star on the last drawing I posted there.

>"With all that said, don't limit yourself to just one specific site for your art, even if you really like it.

That's... exactly what I've been doing ever since April of 2022. That's why I made accounts on Pixiv, New Grounds, and Itaku almost two years ago. Hell, that's why I'm floating the idea of opening up a Twitter account now.

I've thought about getting an Archive Of Our Own account a few times, but not as much as a Tiwtter, since the most prevalent thing I have to post there would be Not To See, But To Feel. I had thought about uploading the quasi one-shot stories that accompany my pictures, but without the image the story is meant to support, it seems a bit superfluous. Knowing images can be uploaded with stories does make in more enticing a proposition. We shall see...

Not only are the character limits of social media sites like Twitter and all its ankle-bitters prohibitive of posting literature, but poorly compatible for posting art, too, since all those sites endless, single-file feed system means you're invalidating and burying your own work with every single post... which is precisely why even if I do end up getting an account, I have zero intention of using Twitter as a gallery site. I would only ever post thumbnails and teaser images of new pictures, with links to my public galleries that I actually want people to engage with my art on. A The Hungry Lurker Twitter account would essentially be nothing more than a giant, glorified advertising billboard for my Fur Affinity, Pixiv, New Grounds, Itaku, and any other accounts I might get in the future.

I don't even like Twitter; I've likened it to taking a stroll through a demon-infested dimension without any protective shields, but it is still nonetheless the most heavily populated social media site on the planet: that's a massive potential audience I'm leaving on the table.

(And yes, Elon, it's "Twitter," not another thing for you to plaster your autistic teenager-level fetish for the English alphabet's 24th letter.)

Using Twitter solely as a means of advertising your presence on other accounts seems like the best course of action, if you want to avoid all the negatives associated with that site. You could still do the same on Bluesky and Mastodon, too. Even if you think people might find your views distasteful, you should be fine as long as you stick to just posting your stuff and not engaging with any discourse. That's what I usually do, since most people stop wanting to talk to me after I tell them what I enjoy and believe... :(

I'm glad that you're considering AO3 as an option, though! It's a fantastic site, and I couldn't imagine being an online writer, NSFW or otherwise, without using it. Since it doesn't have any real social media aspect to it, the only people on it are writers and readers. Even if you don't get a lot of traction on your short fics, you can rest assured that the people that do engage with them are there solely to read stuff (presumably smutty blueberry stuff, if they're on one of your stories). Embedding images is super easy, too. Basically, if you have a link for a picture that'll embed in Discord, it'll embed on AO3, as well. I put all of my pics on a Dropbox account I made tied to a throwaway email, so I can manage them better, but you can use almost anything. If you get an account and start making posts, you bet I'll check 'em out!

Lastly, I just want to say that you shouldn't worry too much about analytics or viewer numbers or using the "right" sites to share your work. While it can be useful to try breaking into new bubbles in the Incipisphere of the 'net, it can also be very stressful. In my experience, being consistent in your work sharing on the sites you enjoy is the best way to build a loyal fanbase and herd of mutuals. The only social media I've ever really used is Discord, so I can talk directly to friends and fellow writers/artists. After using AO3 for about 3 years, I have nearly 400 subscribers (people that get notified when I post new stories), but I was never focused on those numbers, just on writing and sharing lewd stuff and having fun. I think that's what all online artists, writers, and other creatives should really focus on, if they can.

Apologies for the delay in reply. However, there is sort of a serendipitous timing to be had in that, as in between now and when you last suggested getting a Blue Sky account, the site has turned into an auto-canabalizing shit-show that probably won't last for several more months... so, yeah, I'm not going to be getting an account there.

I did actually end up getting a Twitter account, but my plans to use it solely as a means of advertising and networking have not changed. I haven't even posted anything there, as my plates already have almost one thousand messages between here and the new Deviant Art account I opened on Christmas Day.

I did also get an Archive of Our Own account, but I haven't uploaded anything there yet, either. I don't have anything to post there that I haven't already posted here, and it is a lower priority at the moment, but I do look forward to revisiting Not To See, But To Feel for some polishing, and hopefully getting some nice, long feedback comments for it from a site oriented towards literature.
