If I had waited just a few days it would have been exactly one year since my last weasyl journal. After a lot of hard thinking, honestly probably a lot more thought than the subject really merits, I've decided to experiment with weasyl being my main gallery site. I've made a lot of great friends and memories on fa. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm comfortable there, but I would certainly say I've grown accustomed to it. I'm loathe to leave behind all the familiar faces (but I'm glad to see quite a few of you have followed me over, thank you!) but I figure, I started out with nothing there, I suppose if I work towards it, I can have the same here, in time.
I'd rather not discuss so much my reasons for leaving but I will say it is not to do with any accusations in particular but really the poor handling of the situation and attitude of the administration, not just in this instance but over the 5 years I have spent on fa. If in a few weeks this site becomes a wasteland again then I will move back, sure. But if nobody tries, if everybody just throws their hands in the air and says things will never change then they are correct. This is me doing my small little part in an attempt to effect change. So at least for the time being, I will be using this as my main gallery. To all of you who followed me over I greatly appreciate it and I'm glad I will continue to see you around. To everyone who doesn't know me from fa, hi! I'm Keelah. <3 (darth-kitsu)
Welcome~! Hopefully the wasteland scenario never sees the light of day. The current situation over on FA has been really helpful in drawing people here, it's created more people willing to stand up for what they believe in. I've had my own reasons for leaving as well, but now people are coming with me, it's grand.
I'm sure you'll do wonderful here, there is a good network going on of artists helping each other spread names around.

I am considering making this my main site. I can /tag my journals/ and people can fave them and search for the tags.
