Thoughts on dA

3 min read


I've had what was once known as "premium" membership for roughly five years; usually renewing it every year around this time.
This will not be the case this year, nor any future years unless things change.

As many other users have expressed, Core membership is simply too expensive for what it offers - which is, essentially, nothing substaintial.
In my opinion, deviantArt has rapidly gone downhill in the past five years. When a new feature or "improvement" is added and receives negative feedback from the community, it seems the the backlash is completely ignored. Prime examples of this are the new logo and the changeover to Core.

Websites like this survive only because of their users, which makes me wonder why anyone in charge of such a website would continue to go against the feedback of so many of its members. The changes being made to dA are causing people to leave - not very helpful to the site is it?
I understand that they're trying to run a business, but a business certainly cannot operate without paying attention to the demands of its customers.

I still enjoy sharing art with people here, but I simply cannot justify spending $50 for ad-free browsing and a garish orange star by my username.

I haven't made a journal for ages damn son.

1.What do you think about OC x Canon?
I think it's a brilliant way for people to express their love for their most-loved characters. It also creates so many brilliant stories aside from the main storyline of a series that gives fans more ways to enjoy what they love; which, if you're anything like me, you're always looking for.

2.Why do you do OC x Canon
I've done it since I was a kid, but never started to actually create in-depth characters until about seven years ago. I find it to be a great stress reliever (most of the time), and an outlet for the many ideas I come up with when enjoying some of my favorite series.

3.Any pair(That's not yours) you want to talk about from any fandom?
Nears-girl and loathingxandxlust 's Naruto and DN pairings (NearxAngel, MattxCarys, and SasuMizu, ItaSora): If it weren't for our fan characters and love for the canons, these girls and I would never have met. I consider them my sisters, and can't wait for the day when we'll finally meet. Each pairing was so lovingly created and it's clear to me each time I see either of them that both of their creators gave it their all.

4.Want to promote your shipping? Tell us more about your shipping
Shippings - Chronologically, MarikxElla (Yu-Gi-Oh!), LxSoar (Death Note), DeidaraxSayuri (Naruto), and LokixDonia (Marvel). Each of these pairings arose from a love from their respective franchises, and a want to create something of my own to include in each world. Each of my girls were created independently from each other with defining traits, personalities, and relationships with their romantic partners.

Special - Anyone who wants me to know more about your pair , can leave your comment here!
