Time for an absurdly large once a year journal!
15 years ago
General
Hey guys. This day, October 4th, is my 20th birthday ^^. I spent my last day as a teenager yesterday playing all the way through Chrono Trigger from start to finish. But anyway, the reason for the journal, is in a couple days I will have been here for a whole year. I have 110 submissions, and that can be quite a lot for someone just now discovering my material, so I'd like to clean it up. First, some statistics:
Compositions: 60
Composition Favorites: 370
Avg. fav/sub: 6.17
Arrangements: 38
Arrangement Favorites: 387
Avg. fav/sub: 10.18
Total (plus other types of submissions): 828
So basically what I'm doing then, based on how much you guys like my pieces of music, is I will be deleting many of my less popular ones so that new listeners don't have so much to wade through. So the way it will go then is that any composition with 6 or more favorites will be kept. With 5, it'll be moved into scraps, and anything with 3 or less will be deleted. Similarly with arrangements, Any piece with 10 or more favorites will be kept, and those with only 8 or 9 favorites will be in scraps, and the rest will be deleted.
Here are a list of submissions affected by this:

Notes: Kalvekian's Piano Ditty I can't decide whether it's an arrangement or composition, so I'm just going to move it to scraps and call it good.
Other submissions to be affected:
Name That Tune will be deleted
All current Live Performances will be moved to scraps
All pictures except my profile icon will be removed
Now then! My 1 year anniversary to this site is on 10/6. So I will hold off on taking these actions until then. The reason is that I'd like to (if you so desire) give you a chance to download these pieces as your last opportunity, or (totally not a ploy to get more favorites) to favorite these pieces up to their lower limit if you really want them to stay. Keep in mind that most of these pieces weren't popular because they were submitted back when I had no watchers.
It's been a great year guys, thanks a bunch for supporting me ^^. I'm gonna try to make up some CD's sometime in the next year, just in case you feel like contributing to my mountain dew budget, and I might just have a dealer's table at next year's Rainfurrest :3
Gotta go submit a new battle theme now. See ya *screes excitingly*

Happy Birthday!!! =^_^=
Secondly...
If someone wanted maybe a copy of the MP3s of the songs being removed so he could still listen to them, would that be possible? >.>
^^;
I really like your music, what can I say?
...and.....lol, I swear I never noticed that button before!
Not a teen anymore, awesome, and you've got tons of things under your composer's belt!
I on the other hand am becoming more of a performer... D: not that that's a bad thing. :P
Well, I wish you luck in everything and especially with the CD sales! I'm sure you'll get tons of buyers (maybe a few that are morbidly obese or a fair number of normally-sized people). It's wonderful when you see that people buy your CDs.
Have a grand time then~ (Isn't it already the fifth, though? If that be the case I hope you had a good one!).
You know you're not unlike Bach. He was far more renowned as a performer in his day than a composer. Anyway thanks :3
I'd like to thank you for your music, as silly as it may sound. I can't seriously think of a single day during which I didn't listen to one of your tracks ; your music has become a part of my daily life, and for this, thank you very much. For that matter, I'd like to know if you would consider sending CD's oversea when they're done because I would totally buy one !
Eitherway, bonne continuation !
