Doesn't seem like it's been that long, does it?
I've only been here since like, June 2006, but it's been almost three years since even then! I know they've had their ups 'n downs, like long periods of downtime as well as lacking basic features (see: search), but the place has always been free to use and easily accessible by all. It'll only become better this year, as they have many cool features planned~ (see: search) -- and for that I am super-thankful. >3 Here's to hoping for many more years of FA -- I don't know if I would have ever felt compelled enough to further my own drawing desires, had I not had such an orderly and apporpriate place to put 'em!

...As well as so many people willing to see 'em!
I just found out I have over 700 watchers today!
Like seriously, holy god. Really, that's a lot of people.
It's really humbling to consider that anytime I post an image or journal, seven hundred unique individuals all over the world are notified of it... l3

Thanks, you guys~
You're fantastic. <3!
