It's hard to anticipate what's next for FA.

I think it remains still the biggest, most prominent, most central nexus of the online furry art community. No matter how many other newer platforms pop up, I think the vast majority of users will still come to this place. Without FA, our fandom would experience a huge fragmentation - with many viable sites available out there, but no other one the fandom has a consensus on for "next runner-up" in a theoretical absence of FA.

I don't know the site's current leadership. I don't know what they plan regarding the site's future. I certainly hope for the best, but I have this nagging feeling that we may be coming to the end soon, and then there'll be the new big issue of "where can we all agree to go now?"

I'm gonna take this opportunity to list all my links out here, and give everyone an idea of what other sites there could be by when that time comes. A few of my primary links are always in my profile, but it wouldn't hurt to have a full, comprehensive list here too.

https://linktr.ee/chikoguts ⏪ My Linktree, it serves as a handy little age-check nexus that leads to my Trello, my latest book release, and my SubStarAdult (mainly for Discord)

https://subscribestar.adult/chikoguts ⏪ My SubStarAdult, it doesn't offer much in terms of exclusives at the moment, but I'm lowkey thinking of things it could... The main purpose is a tip-jar and automated access to my Discord server.

https://trello.com/b/ze0KokRT ⏪ My Trello - this is currently my MAIN PLACE for commissions info, scheduling, and links to all my sites. If you wanted to skip reading the rest of this journal, you can just go to this Trello to find all the other links to social and gallery websites I'm gonna post below.

Here's the Socials you can find me at currently ⤵

There's a LOT of other places to go, which makes the predetermination of where we might in FA's closure all the more puzzling. If you wanted to cover your bases and be prepared with some accounts and uploads across all those different sites, it'd be some meticulous work posting to every single one - so I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND using Postybirb ( https://www.postybirb.com/ ) to post simultaneously to all of your different social and gallery site accounts with ease.


To wrap up: I hope all of this is just me being overcautious. There's a lot of history in this website and it's important to our fandom to have major, singular places to gather... But FA's been through a LOT lately - so much that I'm not necessarily sure what to expect now - and it's possible we may all become very website-agnostic in the near future. If that happens, I think we'd all do well to spread our roots across more sites, and Posty's a handy way to do so while you still continue to post here as usual.

Anyway, that's all for now. Be good, be safe.
