'Kay ... so I've been here for a little while and it's taken me all this time to do this. I think when I first came here I wan't really sure what I wanted - I'd already been at deviantArt for a while and I was so used to that experience I think maybe I just wanted to hit my stride here the same way I did there.

But things were different when I got here. Val will know this already of course but I am suffering steadily worsening problems with my internet connection, and have been ever since I joined FA. Fair enough, when I first got here it was just an occasional glitch, but it's grown steadily worse since and it's curtailed A LOT of what I've wanted to do online. And unfortunately FurAffinity has been one of the casualties. I just haven't been able to spend a FRACTION of the time around her I would have liked, or worked on HALF the artwork I would have liked to submit here ... and as for socialising, browsing and generally checking out all the goodies? HA ...

It's not that I love deviantArt any more, I've just been there a lot longer, I have a much more established presence there. I tend to gravitate there first. But I try to get back here as much as I can. I'm sorry if I've seemed like a bit of an empty chair since I first turned up. I will do better from here on.

I think you guys can kind of thank our Val for that too ...
