Before you press "Go" in your next journal, make sure you've followed these simple steps, unless you want some serious butthurt:
1. Don't threaten your watchers that if things don't start going exactly your way, you'll leave. People will only try to expedite your departure by making things go exactly opposite from how you'd like them to be.
2. Don't bitch about the quality/quantity of the comments received. Especially if you're new.
2a. Don't tell your watchers to unwatch you if they're not going to comment, and don't tell your watchers to not fave if they're not going to comment. The fave and run is there for when you simply don't have a way to express what you like about a piece.
2b. Don't bitch about never getting good concrit if you're just going to flame anyone who tries to help. It makes you look like an ass.
3. Don't go around claiming that everyone hates you and that all you want is acceptance when you're not prepared to even listen to the other side of the argument. The best way to gain acceptance is to accept those who are different.
3a. Don't go around claiming "fursecution" for ANY reason. Not everyone likes your fetish. And even if the trolls happen to share your fetish, they'll still make sure that you know it's wrong.
4. Don't accuse every person with characters of the same species as yours of character theft. You just look like a pompous ass.
4a. Don't change the hair colour of someone's character and call it your own, either. That really is theft.
5. Don't get upset when you see your name/art posted in one or more of the following: wtf_fa, ED, POE, SA, or any other snark site. If you can't take it, get out of the fandom now.
6. Don't expect everyone on the internet to stroke your ego for any reason. The majority of the people on the internet don't give a damn about you either way until you go making a scene.
7. Do expect that anything you say or post will be mocked, laughed at, imitated, snarked, or reused a dozen more times.
Feel free to spread this like a virus in your own journal.
