You know, I'll be honest with you - It's been a rough and incredibly stressful year so far. A lot of things went wrong, a lot of things blew up in my face, and I toughed it out through some heavy depression and huge emotional downs.

I want to thank you guys for the support and welcome I've gotten on this site with my art and works, and even my ideas, feedback, and general ambitions I set out upon. It hasn't even been a year for me yet, but I feel like I've been able to open a part of myself locked away for so long and it feels good. I know that due to never drawing female preds or the things people necessarily always want to see, I'll never be particularly popular here, but that's perfectly OK. I'm not looking for that. I'm looking to share the love that I have for M/F vore and a place where I can freely express myself and my interests in it and talk with those who enjoy the same. I know there will always be judging people, passive-aggressive people, and those who don't like me. But I'm not here to change anyone's minds. I'm here to be myself and share what I have to offer with you.

Thanks for sticking by me, whether your support has been vocal (which I vastly, vastly appreciate more than I can say), or even passive. I'm grateful for every last bit of it. You might not be able to guess it from how fast I can bounce back sometimes, but I'm one of those types that gets discouraged a lot. I set out to do things and they just don't work out or I don't feel that I'm doing anything ultimately worthwhile. Even outside of this site, that happens a lot. Thanks for putting up with that part of me, too. I know it must be annoying when I put myself down sometimes. I'm trying to work on the whole self-worth and self-confidence thing, but it's a slow process.

Also, thanks for all the little messages, be it in comments or PMs, or even Asks in tumblr at times. It's really something special to hear that someone considers me or my works inspiring or motivating. And opening people up to the idea of M/F or even being a part of the reason they have interest in it now or like it is a really great feeling.

And thanks to everyone who has commissioned me thus far, too. You've been amazing and I have yet to say that I've worked with a single person who was difficult or rude.

I seriously don't know how to thank you all enough. I look forward to coming full circle on a year at the portal in about four months or so. And I really hope I get to know a lot of you better and bring more life to the M/F side of vore that has been sitting in the dark corners for so long.

You're an amazing artist girl!

Thanks! : ) I'm happy that you think so.

Here's to (part of) a year filled with sharing your interests and inspiring others. And hopefully many more!

Thanks! :3 I certainly hope there will be many more to come! Cheers!

You are a welcome addition to this site. Don't ever forget that we consider you special. If this site has helped you find your place, even if you're not the most "popular" artist, then that's more than enough. May you continue to express your creativity here for years to come. ^_^

Thanks a lot. : ) I really appreciate that. I was admittedly very discouraged when I first joined because it just didn't seem like I was going to fit in or offer anything that people wanted to see - but I was proven wrong very quickly.

As a note of advice to others: Never give up on what you love, even if it's not the most popular, not widely well-received, or even if you come across haters or people that put you down for it. NEVER change yourself for someone else or the sake of anyone or anything. If change happens naturally within you, that's one thing, but always be true to yourself. If you're passionate about what you like, that passion is going to come through in your works and your words. If you give up, in the end, you only have yourself to blame.

You are easily one of my favorite artists. Your art is so soft yet powerfull your stories are amazing. Thanks for all of your hardwork

I'm really flattered, thank you. I feel that I have a long way to go and a lot to improve upon, but that's part of the path and part of the experience. I'm glad you've enjoyed with what I have had to share so far. : )

Your presence here is refreshing and a true pleasure, I'm very happy to know that you feel welcome here and I would do anything to keep it that way n__n
When people ask me for M/F I point directly to you, with the time I'm totally sure that more people will share that particular taste, as the vore community grows.
And don't worry, most of us suffer from problems related to lack of self-worth or self-confidence, or at least I can perfectly relate to that kind of situations.
Hope to have you here for a long time

I'm really honored that you think that, thank you. Though I've had my share of bad experiences and annoyances, the positive responses and experiences I've had outweigh those and I try to never let myself lose sight of that, no matter how discouraged I might get.

But I really appreciate the support and I'll do my best to continue to grow the M/F side of the community.
