Greetings, FurAffinity!
a year ago
AvaikaofStarfox, here! And what a pleasant surprise, no? <FD
I finally have a presence on this platform after pondering very long and hard about it!
I'm sure those of you who have known me from other places, such as deviantART, may have many questions, now that I have caved and slithered on into here, so let me lay a few things out for extra clarity's sake! ^^
You mentioned before about not wanting to join FA... Why the change of mind?
Well, to make a long story short, I had a lot of previous, preconceived notions on this place, many of them being sort of unsavory or neutral. Even after realizing there's not a major difference between here (FA) and there (dA) (mainly in browsing content ^^;), concerns began pointing toward my multi-fandom engagement and the species which they often involved. While my main thing is StarFox (a very easily welcome item on a platform like this one), I have engaged with other material such as Kirby, FF Crystal Chronicles, Under The Skin (2004, PS2), and more that don't necessarily involve the usual furry, scaley, or avian flavors this place has to offer. It took a good peek into various post guidelines, observed posting habits of the denizens of this platform, reassurance from friends who roam here, and more to realize that it's really not that big of a deal, as long as the site's guidelines are faithfully adhered to.
What will happen to your dA account, in light of this?
My dA account isn't going anywhere. What will happen to it over time is the slow abandonment of the platform without any actual deactivation. I've already put a full stop to my posting presence since about a year and a month ago, all that's left is to find a way to tie loose ends, such as archiving old memories, making doubly sure I still have each image that I've ever posted, and then purging the gallery entirely. The account itself will remain because I'm much too lazy to go through the same process with journals, and for the sake of others wanting to find my presence elsewhere (such as here). That will mean my notes inbox there remains somewhat open for the rest of time.
Sadly, this gallery archival/purge project has left me spent, and I've been spinning my wheels on it and lacking the focus required to pick it back up from where I left off. I had been on deviantART since June-ish 2010, and stopped posting October 2021... Going through things in backward chronological order, I wound up burning out by the time I reached the 2015 era, only 1/5 through my entire gallery, with no steam left since the last November. (Someone please motivate me AAAAAA X~X;;)
Will you be mirroring your whole gallery, or any select posts?
As much as even I'd hate to admit, I simply cannot, with the whole gallery. I will be starting anew on a clean slate, with select items carrying over from there if need be. I used to not be so hot on the idea of a full-blown re-introduction to my material, but at this point, it'd be too much energy to spend that I simply don't always have, and kind of a waste of breath. This does not mean my gallery here will be a selective collection altogether. Just that while I get my foot in the door, things will be tad slow, and simply pick up over time. There are plenty of things I would like to re-introduce, but there's no need for all the extra from a prior era unless I see a true need for it.
What can I expect to see in the near future? How about the far one?
Well, I'll mainly start us off with a good taste of my personal, fanmade StarFox material (yes, with that collection of FCs too, such as Avaika, Angell, Makal, and everyone else). I can't pinpoint an exact timeframe or post frequency because my focus and motivation aren't exactly what they used to be, but over time, you'll get a good feel for what I'm about, here. Gradually, when at least a few things are set into motion, I'll ease into my usual, sporadic self again, and introduce other things as well! I hope you'll stick around, regardless!
And that about sums it up I think.
I'm not sure if I articulated each point well enough, due to potential household distractions, but it'll do, right?
Anyway, looking forward to making myself at home, here, finally! ^^
Wonderful day, all! >;D
