You know, back when I first started getting involved more with FA and getting commissions to put in my own gallery, it really bothered me when people were faving it because all I'd done is add a really short description. It was the artist that was really the one who deserved the praise, not me.
Nowadays though, with the amount of time I've started to spend writing little short stories and scenes to be enjoyed along with the pictures, its made me feel a lot better about having these submissions favorited. Plus all these Watches make me really happy to know that people are enjoying both the stuff that I pay money to have drawn and write. It's like...a super great confidence booster when someone flat out tells me that they fapped to something I've written (this has happened).

That said, it is a tiny bit weird feeling like I'm getting this much love in regards to fetish art and stories instead of just...regular art and stories. Believe it or not, when I was a teenager I wrote some pretty terrible (if heartfelt) furry fantasy fiction that is still up on my Deviantart today. I have more watchers, more comments received, and more favorites received here than on there by a long shot. Part of me wants to be disappointed that it's only my fetish material that's getting so popular, and partly from the efforts of someone else instead of me.
On the other hand though...I feel like I really have gotten better at writing. Even if it's not the same levels of serious subject matter...

...okay scratch that. My fantasy stories had me as the self insert hero and able to master magic and shapeshifting and becoming immortal quickly and with stupid contrivances given for how that is possible. Maybe there really is only going up from back then!
