Finished moving to Weasyl
11 years ago
Standard disclaimer: Not here to rehash arguments. People already know the story and have made their decision, no need to argue over anything. I have no interest in preaching to anyone and I ask for the same courtesy in return. I chose to move to Weasyl, others have chosen to stay on FA, and that's fine. This is nothing more than an update on my personal movements, for followers who want to keep track of me. This is what I personally am up to. Nothing more.
Over the past few weekends, I've been quietly working on transferring the entirety of my Fur Affinity gallery to Weasyl. (Galleries, actually; I was able to consolidate kjorteo and teogifts into one Weasyl account through the magic of Weasyl actually has folders.) This is why I've been even busier than usual and with even less free time than usual, so things like my Dagger of Amon Ra LP went untouched, etc. Sorry about that. :(
However, I have finally finished, and I think I have something worthy of showing off! I like how it turned out, at least.

The thing I like the most about Weasyl is it's accessibility and organization, such that I can give that one site link to wildly different markets without worrying about anyone seeing the wrong thing. I have people following this blog who are total perverts who want nothing more than to see all the furry porn I wrote and that I commissioned of my characters and such. I have followers to whom that is the absolute last thing they want to see, either because of religious/socially conservative values or because they're fourteen. I have followers who are interested in my stories and things I've made, or the gifts, fanart, and commissions people who actually know how to draw have made for me, or anything in between. The answer to all of that, no matter what you may be looking or not looking to see:

To be fair, give credit where credit is due, and for the sake of full disclosure: FA has always been pretty good about the opt-in adult content like that, too. It's just that Weasyl also adds folders, and I personally find it to be a better-coded website with a better posting and browsing and overall navigating experience.
Moving forward, I'm probably going to stick to Weasyl as my exclusive art site for new uploads. Maintaining two galleries and keeping them synchronized and everything is a massive pain, and I just can't be bothered with FA anymore. I honestly can't even be bothered to browse here anymore, most of the time; I have new submissions and favorites and even comments and questions (which I used to live for, and still do on Weasyl--reply to something there, I still love to talk to my followers there!) piling up, and I just ... don't ... want to deal with them. So, I guess I'm leaving FA? Sort of? I mean, I still have the account(s), so I can still see stuff I get linked to or whatever, but I'm just really not using it(them) anymore.
You know what I am using, though?

(I also sort-of run
nmfurs still, but to be perfectly honest and for the sake of full disclosure,
sophiemanx does almost all of the heavy lifting around there these days. I just sort of check in every now and then to make sure everything is still under control. Which it usually is, because Sophie is awesome. I'll probably just continue that arrangement with no change; I'll still continue on as the technical from-the-shadows overseer of nmfurs, with Sophie the de facto day-to-day operator of the group.)
As always, I wish nothing but the best for everyone on all sides; may whatever one/the other/both/neither/something else entirely site arrangement you've chosen be everything you wanted, and may everyone be happy with their decisions.
