So, I'd move this from dA to here :P To those who could find it again - congratz xD

These are my thoughs I wrote, and you can think different, I only wrote like I see it, and if you happen to see different... well, I'm sorry then if I offend you :)

I feel my fingers itching terribly for writing today :XD: Later this weekend, I just might post two new chapters of the two fics I have running up here on dA, but for now, I just feel I want to put out what I think and have in my mind for now :P

About the groups and clubs on deviantART this time. I am a member of only one, so I don't really know how to say it so that nobody would feel offended, if they enjoy having joined them or if they have created one, but here goes:
I REALLY DON'T CARE.
I feel uncomfortable when submitting my works to groups. Okay, some Photoshop stuff I can submit, but the things will never go so far that I would submit my ''big pictures'' as I like to call them. It feels for me like I would loose any right for them the second they are accepted in a group. I haven't been sitting working on them for hours, days and weeks ( yeah, I am really THAT lazy ) just to see them being in some other gallery not only mine. The only reason I will ever accept an invitation to group and/or submit something, is that I want the be left the hell ALONE, not somebody constantly meddling me with ''when are you gonna join? When are you gonna submit?''
I just don't get it, too, why do fans crawl together like penguins in a cold day sometimes :penguin::penguin::penguin::penguin::penguin: :D Does the fact you are in some Lordi, BSB, Lady Gaga-gaga-goose, dragon or any other group make you a bigger fan than you already are? :confused:

It leaves the impression that people join groups and clubs just to get attention, favs and page/art views, not to show their art. Which is what I am not after. Even if I do feel honored that I have gotten over 5'000 views in the time I have been here and that people consider my art worth looking at it :giggle: :blush: It's not the best, but also not the worst level, and I am happy with it. So, thank you :thanks:

I also don't feel comfortable about countless contests :s So I do/will not take part in any. What can they give me if I attend and not win, anyway? Countless hours spent in waste, working on something I don't even like myself? I'd rather spend my time restocking in NP. And, if I win? Some months of membership? A piece of art that took 10 minutes to 2 hours to finish? Thanks, but making myself into a public ''art-whore'' ( I'm not saying you are those, I'm saying I would feel like one then ) for something like that is not my style -.- I can get that membership myself, in Latvian money 3 month premium cost about Ls 4.00, and I can do that art myself.

Another thing is also the mods and admins. Don't be offended, but when I read rules like ''don't submit that si that, si that ulte also that!'', my reaction is not ''Oh, then I will just draw art that I can submit'', my reaction is ''Screw you, you're not the boss of me, I'm not gonna submit anything anyway'' :D If dA would be made just of groups and clubs where I would have to join just to become a user, I'd rather go seeking for another art community :P

Well, what you know, it turned out to be a small rant after all :XD: But hopefully you have understood now what I think of groups and clubs and why I don't keep the big box on my profile here where it could say ''member of...'' I'm sorry if I offended someone now, but that's what I think and wanted to say :P

By the way, ''si'' and ''ulte'' are Na'vi words, both mean ''and'', but si connects two things like ''applesauce si pancake'', and ulte connects two actions, like ''I will come home ulte then I will watch TV''.
I hope I got that right, I have trouble with explaining even though I understand the rules :P
