This rather amuses me
17 years ago
Somene's taken the time to build something that ranks FA membership, watchedness, and so on.

Apparently I'm in the top 24%, at #12144. Hehee.
Of the very topmost people on FA that have, it seems to me, well-known and unmistakable talent, and of whom I know:
dingbat #74 (top 1%)
louvelex #224 (top 1%)
goldenfox #1252 (top 2%)
silentravyn #360 (top 1%)
arphalia #177 (top 1%)
kacey #19 (top 1%)
poetigress #4099 (top 8%)
I guess that sounds about right. Kacey's industrious and extremely well produced. Louvelex will fail to get cred because she doesn't draw much pr0n. Idiotic-- but also, reality. Dingbat's plainly awesome. But so are goldenfox and silentravyn (the former just needs more exposure, I think). I suspect that arphalia's developing an authentic style is a little to much for the average furry palate, for all that she does draw pr0n. Poetigress is more lit than art, which also I suspect throws people.
Private favorite Kwan is too new to FA to really have a fair chance, but has indeed already beat me, being #10208, and in the top 19%.
Oh. I just noticed something else. Java, who is one of the people I watch and didn't quite make it into my top-seven list above, is ranked #62.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love Java's work tons-- in fact strictly speaking I may have more of her work fav'd than anybody else. But most of what I've seen is teh Pr0nz. This is strong evidence re: what I already knew: FA is overWHELMingly pr0n oriented.
We should brainstorm a way to develop a ranking of artists strictly by merit ASIDE from pr0n. I'm not sure if this should be based only on non-adult works, or should be some intuited "is there anything to this besides pr0n" measure.

Creative thought, like for example is the norm with you, is something I consider even less native to FA than poetry.
