A Thanksgiving Thank You!
6 years ago
Hey, to all my watchers, thank you so freaking much for watching me! Like seriously, I do very minimal marketing/pandering, so I can be confident that my relatively small watcher base is here because they are genuinely and seriously invested in AT LEAST one of the following things:
- My sona and his design
- My stories
- My commissions and interests
And honestly, the fact that people care enough about ANY of those things means so much to me. Because (respectively):
- I can't properly convey how awesome it is that other people like my dragon design enough to watch me. Like, I wanted to create MY ideal dragon when I created Craddock. One that had all of MY personal favorite characteristics, and reflected ME personally. And seeing that other people agree that they like his design is about the best confirmation I can get that I designed him well!
- I freaking love writing stories. I'm a very, very busy person, but I still enjoy writing enough to make time for it. And seeing people view, favorite, and even critique my work means the freaking WORLD to me. Like, the fact that my stories are interesting enough to hold anyone's interest until the end? That's all the confirmation I need that I'm doing it right, and that my passion is getting shared!
- If you watched me because of a particularly beautiful/cute/awesome/delicious commission, yo I'm just as thankful for that! I'm so glad that you liked my idea for a commission, and you agree that the artist did an amazing job with it! Because I am beyond satisfied with all the arts I've gotten so far, and I'm so glad that people agree enough to want to watch me for more!
To wrap things up, you all may have noticed when you watched me that I gave you a shout out specifically thanking you for being one of my first watchers! Because its true! Y'all will ALWAYS be my first watchers! And well, there won't be many more of you left! I plan to stop calling people my "first" watchers after I hit 50. After that, nobody else will get that title from me. So congrats guys, you watched in time to join that exclusive club!
Also, with that milestone of 50 coming up, perhaps I should do a raffle to show my appreciation once I hit 50 watchers! Perhaps a raffle to decide my next story, perhaps a raffle to win one of my Craddock Blue Eyes White Dragon cards mailed to you, or perhaps a raffle to cameo in a story of mine! If any of these sound enticing, tell me! Or if you have any other ideas I'd love to hear them! I'll definitely do something when I hit the big 50! As of writing this journal I'm at 44, and with another story + commission nearing completion, I may hit 50 very soon!
Anyways, to conclude, THANK. YOU. All of you! While I hope that one day I might get as popular as some of my idols, its pretty nice to have a small dedicated base of watchers that I can be confident are interested in my sona, work, or commissions! And I thank you all for being a part of it!

FA+

*Smiles* That's fine and I'm glad he'd enjoy all the belly rubs, he is very hard to resist being so big and cuddly ^^
Am usually available for rping should you wish to ^^
Unfortunately, as I stated in the journal itself, I'm a very, very busy person, so I really don't have time to RP, especially during the school year. But hey, if I find the time during a break or summer, I may just ask for one!
Just leaving the offer open should you get some time/wish to rp.
Happy late thanksgiving!
