Does it really seem that...?
18 years ago
Hi there. Recently, someone has brought to my attention something, and I have to ponder:
Do any of you think I watch so many people for possible backwatches?
I swear that is not my intention at all, but looking at my watch list, does it seem like it is?
I like seeing art. Art with subjects I like, but also art with great skill put in, even bad art that is creative or shows potential. Sometimes, I watch people because they feel down and I want to help them. Others I watch because of their "Relationship" with others, such as when they make an intriguing request or comission to that person and I hope to find more creative ideas. Sometimes, I watch people because they know others I already watch, NOT for watchbacks, but to see what relationships there are.
I do NOT watch people for back watches. But one person thought so. So, I was wondering if you all think the same?
To hopefully avoid such things, I beg all of you who haven't watch me but may do so:
If you are only going to watch me because I watched you and no other reason, please refrain from doing so. In other words, if I watch you, do NOT watch me because I watched you unless there is some other reason for that.
Becoming friends is alright with me, but please do not watch me solely because I watched you.
I doubt, but hope, that this will convince this person that I am not spam-watching.
I don't want to dewatch this person because they believe I am spam-watching. It's a terrible thing to get on someone's bad side because they don't trust your intentions. If they askd me to dewatch them for some other reason, then I may do so. I don't want to dewatch someone because others have screwed me over.
Here are my advertisements for the needy:
1. Furreball may need help on Second Life still. I haven't confirmed that he does still need it, but I am still letting people know for that reason.
2. Rocksteady has a journal that you all may want to check out. He apparently works at SNK, and needs a bit of help with character concepts. I don't have the journal that mentions it, so please ask him. Also, send me a link to the info if you find it.
3. xxdarkdemonessxx911 is offering commissions. Here is his journal about it:

4 ---Sarn needs money in order to be able to move. Info can be found here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/104516/
I have not received updates as to the status of these people and the particular situation, so please forgive me if they are out of date.
I guess I'm doing find otherwise. Also, if you know who I speak of earlier, do NOT harass this person or speak badly of them. I didn't make this journal to badmouth them, o please don't do that to them.
After all, can you really blame people for believing I am up to no good when so many people are who "act" like I do? Good intentions are regarded as lies nowadays, and it really irks me that people have, and still do, pretend to be good and use it for evil.
I apologize for causing problems. I try to be kind and caring nowadays, but others have screwed the validity of that no matter what I do.

But hey, if you're here that means you have an appreciation for art and that alone should warrant a watch, plus as your journal here indicates, you can provoke thoughts and bring up an interesting topic. I figure i'm probably rambling by now so just to clarify, I didn't think you watched me just for a watch back.
The thing is, I want to try to minimize people thinking I am after things which I am not. If a person wants to watch me, it is fine.
I am just tired of being called things I am not or accused of things I didn't do or am not even doing because of other's evils.
So (without trying to harass someone, I hate flames) I think it is your good right to watch an be watched... (I used "watch" four times now, I think I´ll stop. ;))
1. as a thank you for watching me.
2. because someone's art caught my attention
3. Because it's a good way to get to knwo others
4. for inspriation on my own art.
I Never expect someone to watch back, although in truth i love it when they do.
My thing is, i wanna know Why someone is watching me well at least the ones that watch me out of the blue ^^ Because if i'm doing something they like? I'm gonna wanna improve on that aspect of art to make them watching me worth thier while. :)
[ok so i'm a people pleaser ;) ]
honestly i don't think you or anyone else for that matter is a [what did you call them?] a ...spam-watcher?
Everyone wants to be watched, partly why they are here! Not to mention it does our esteem some good.
It's not a contest on who gets the most watchers, or page views or whatever else.
There are several reasons to watch, none of them bad.
I find it nice if people +Watch me back though, it's just pleasent surpise. To be fair I see people who +Watch me in past, as in some kind of start of friendship. ^^;
In your case, the many comments for your story suggested that it is well written. I'm a pro writer (including a million copy best seller) as well as a novice (5 months) artist, so I'm interested in good furry writing.
I've watched you in hopes that you will post your story in a .txt filetype so that I can read it. I've got a Mac - because OS X is UNIX which has military grade security built in - but haven't purchased insecure Microsoft Word for Mac, so I can't read .doc type files. On the other hand, I don't have to run any antiviral or other security software... Word is second only to Windows itself as a security risk.
Hopefully, I can get around to doing it.
Thank you so much!
By the way, what was your best seller?
Maybe you could send me a note about it? I do not intend to reveal who you are, and people would only find out if they read the note, which I don't plan on doing.
However, if you don't want to, I shall not press further.
Thanks for the comment!
I do have more stories at: Cerebreus.deviantart.com
There are some pictures there, but there some stories there.
The former submission agreement on this website prevented me from uploading the stuff on DA here.
Now that it is changed, I need to find time to upload the stuff here.
Hopefully I can get my lazy butt to do it.
I hope to check out your stories soon. I plan on reading them, but I have been getting on late, which means I would have to skim stories, which I don't want to do in your case.
Hopefully, I can get online at a decent time and read and comment on your story.
I aplogize for not doing so already, but I hope to change that.
Thanks!
I suppose it's really none of my business, though. I can't change what you do, nor can I completely understand why you go around watching so many people. 3500+? If it makes no difference to you, I would appreciate it if you unwatched me. If you don't want to, that's fine, but don't complain when your message center gets filled with intentionally crappy art.
If you can give me a good reason why you chose to watch me, then I would apologise for this long-winded comment immediately. =/ Until then...
I admit didn't realize it was that type of joke account.
However, since you say it is a joke account, it gives me a chance to examine it. I like to examine how people could come up with their ideas, and it introduces me to different types of jokes.
I have more reasons, but is that enough for now, or would you like to hear more?
I do thank you for the comment.
Well, I think I can spare one more reason, which is very most important. The thing is, I like helping people. The more people I watch, the more I know who need help. I may not be able to do much for them, unfortunately, but I hope to do what I can.
That doesn't mean I won't look at their art or read their stuff, as I like to. The thing is, certain pieces of art whose subject I do not like have actually increased my understading of people, which I hope will help me to help others.
Do you understand?
I apologise for overreacting like I did, but accounts like me tend to make more enemies than friends. I can tell you more about joke accounts and whatnot if you like, if you want to know more. Apart from that, I'll just continue to post my "professional" artworks. :P
When you said you were afraid that I wouldn't understand, there is always a possibly that I may not. However, if I didn't, I would make an effort TO understand. I want to understnad what motivates people so that I may help them or others with the information.
I thank you for returning the understanding. It is much appreciated. I wish you well.
Just read your story and loved it so i decided to watch ya to see what other things you come up with
p.s. i wish life was a lot less compliated sometimes
Comment on one of his journals/submisions.
If he replies,then watch,if not,then dont watch.
Still, it is an interesting test, but don't rely on it solely, as there are circumstances that may prevent a person from commenting.
Still, thanks for the comment. I wish you well!
You passed the test IMO.
But even more importantly is to say something that a person can reply to. Sometimes, people leave messages where there really isn't a proper response. If one were to try to reply, one would have to bring up another subject at times to those types of things.
When I see people do things, or not do them, I try to figure out if there is a reason. If a person were to leave a shout on my page asking something and it got pushed off, I cannot recover it. I do not know of a way to check those things that are pushed off, so I may offend the person unintentionally.
Just remember, there may be circumstances one does not know of that causes a person to make decisions and to do, and not do, certain things.
Thanks again for the comment. I wish you well!
