Hit the back button if you don't feel like listening to unabashed complaining about stupid things that don't really matter in the world, but seeing as how I'm in the mood to complain and this is my journal, I'm going to feel free.

1.) What is up with the popularity of black journals with white font? It makes my poor, old woman eyes hurt reading them, so I just skip journals with that format. The last thing any of you want is me coming down with a migraine and taking it out on dA.

2.) Can someone explain to me why people ask for critiques and then proceed to bitch at you like you called their mama a dog when you actually give one? If you don't want a critique, say so in your artist comments or be prepared to hear things you might not like. And I'm an easy critiquer and believe wholeheartedly in the pat/slap method! If you can't take it from me, get out of the business. Henceforth, I have a firm "no critiquing ever. Period. No room for discussion" policy. To be fair, I have given a couple of critiques lately that were very well received, but it's weird when those are the exception rather than the rule.

3.) Along with number two, why is it so fun to flame people? Do people really get their jollies off leaving worthless and utterly rude comments? No matter how good your work is, someone will leave a comment that amounts to "this suxs! die like a dog." I'll never understand how saying that to another person can possibly be amusing.

4.) If you're going to make premade background stock, try to make sure you're allowed to use the resources in what will be a stock piece. Don't make something and pass it around only to have artists spend ten hours on a piece they'll have to delete when it comes out your've used stolen stock in your background. It's just rude and inconsiderate.

If you read those complaints, you get an e-cookie. Now, that's finally out of my system. Whew! I can go back to being my sweet, loveable self.



Finished my Star Trek fiction and will be uploading it slowly here, maybe only one chapter a week. I refuse to engage in another long-winded complaint about that site dedicated to fanfiction.
