********EDIT********

It hasn't even been, like, two days since I took "them" out of hiding, and people have already started jumping all over them again. Old crap getting more appreciation in a day or two than my newer, original stuff getting in the weeks they've been up.

Wow. I am SO fucking outta here. If anyone wants to contact me, please do so by email. I was going to stay about a week to finish responding, but I've had it. I'm logging out now.

I'm sorry to those who this anger ISN'T aimed at.

********End Edit********

I'm not going to write a lengthy journal here. I've already talked about the related issue before (and the last time was rather recently). I'll just get to the bottom line. I'm not posting here anymore.

I'll be here a little while longer to see if there are any loose ends to tie up, but I'll probably be outta here soon enough. I'm tired of fighting when there aren't any results. You can have "them" back, but I'm not going to be here to see it overshadow everything else anymore.

I'm still working on stuff, but there's little point in posting it here when it's not you-know-what. If anyone wants to take a look at what I'm up to, I still update my site regularly. That includes the Adult section, which isn't officially mentioned during updates because it is on a separate site and only linked to.

If you want to contact me about anything and I don't seem to be responding here anymore, you can use my email. Don't add me to MSN or anything like that though; I don't chat.

I sincerely thank the small group of you who supported me all this time no matter WHAT I posted, and those of you who truly enjoyed my ORIGINAL characters. I always greatly appreciated it.
Thank you.

Um...I've never had this before. A friend on deviantART has passed away.

I don't really know what to say. But it's horrible that this happened. Marina was in a car accident, and passed away a few days later.

She was one of the first people to watch me. She continued to be very supportive and encouraging for all this time.

Marina was very kind and very dedicated to art, always trying many new things and looking for challenges. Her work was always beautiful. If you haven't visited her page, please do so. It was meant to be shared with everyone.

Marina Gorescu will be missed.
