Desperately seeking Dreamwindow-(creepy comments column)

[File under "unintentionally creepy comments"]
As you may not have noticed, my page has been on life support for a few months... you know, because I have a life and all...
But people keep finding my Siamese twin stuff and faving. Not watching or commenting, just faving. I wasn't sure why. I'm still not sure why, but I finally received this telling comment from one of the favers:
KelvinT "Been trying to find the original artist of this drawing. I finally found it! <3"
A perfectly innocent comment. But it suggests that my "art" is being seen by more people than I realize.
FurAffinity is the only site I have ever posted furry stuff on, as well as the only social site I am on, so I always assumed anyone who stumbled upon my art would find it here. I know that's naïve, but until today I was able to pretend that nobody was interested in my art and nobody was peddling it around on other sites. Over the years I have received similar comments that someone was looking for me. But I would say to myself: "They just saw my stuff on someone's faves on F.A. and forgot the name of the artist." Are you buying this?
Anyway, I find myself in the unenviable position of looking to the once venerable 👑 Roo-kiss for guidance. In one of her journals years and years ago, she was forced to fend off her "well meaning" watchers who kept alerting her to the plethora of wannabes ripping off her furry vanilla porn. She responded by telling them "I don't care." Of course she cared, but our poor, long-suffering Queen couldn't put the porn genie back in the bottle, so she gave up trying. (Yes, I memorized all of her journals. Who are you to judge me?)
So... how do I feel about it now that I know? I was irritated for twenty minutes, fearing that my work has metastasized on various sites like some cancerous lesion, but now I'm over it. I admit that I have secretly fantasized that my art was reaching more people because... um... because it's no secret that I crave attention. Daddy issues, you see. Unlike Roo-kiss, I do care about what happens to my art, especially when the administration periodically deletes it. And like Roo-kiss, I am probably better off living in blissful ignorance concerning who is doing what to my work. Does it matter if anyone sees my work and never finds the original creator? Perhaps the greatest compliment is that the art transcends the artist.
Love, -D.

Your art is great, simple yet elaborate, although uploading it to other sites certainly wouldn't hurt!
