So, I have a little announcement to make:
I've decided to post some of my fanfiction to my dA account as well.
There's no real harm in it, for one; if anyone wants to add one of my fics to their favorites list, but doesn't have a fanfiction.net account, they could fav 'em here instead, if they've got an account here :] (haha, people faving my fics...hey, it's happened! >|) It would push down some of my older drawings that I'd...rather not see when I visit my page to organize my favorites list. Not for "omg, they suck! D8" reasons, just...personal reasons.
It would keep my profile active and somewhat-interesting, and, something I'm a little excited about, it would give me something to submit to the groups that I want to join here!

Yeeah, I haven't actually joined a group here yet. >.> I'm watching a bunch, though. I just figured that if you join the club, you should have something to contribute. And I'm not really proud enough of most of my drawings to submit them to such groups >.>' But that may change; I've seen worse on there!
The first group I'll join will, of course, be .
It was the first dA group I ever stumbled upon, and was the first one that told me of the existence of people who love Axel and Roxas together just as much as I did, and still do. I was SO happy that night, you have no idea 8D

I'm also interested in joining the group as well. I've recently taken an interest in the Axel/Saix, Lea/Isa pairings, and may draw them someday soon, or finish a fic about them sooner, and I'd like to be able to promote the canon-ness of that pairing however I can.
It adds to Axel's depth and storyline, it doesn't conflict much with AkuRoku, and it's bittersweet and angsty and sad and depressing as all hell; what's not to love?

Annnyway, I've got 6 fanfics on fanfiction.net at the moment; I don't think I'm gonna post all of them here, just the ones I like best. Like, some of my older ones I'm not really really proud of, but I feel better about my newer ones. My writing skills are a constant work-in-progress
And when I post a new fanfic to that account, I'll post one here, too. And I may post original writing, too, if I ever feel comfortable with my original writing enough to do so.
If you guys have any input regarding this, whether it's a good idea or not, let me know!

I haven't forgotten about drawing! In fact, this is kind of to encourage me to do more of it; I got kind of discouraged about it this year, but I'm gonna try to get back into it and feel more confident about it.
The only drawing I've completed this year is one that I'd rather not post, due to it being kind of dumb, and the way it reminds me of the person I drew it for and all the things that followed my drawing it for her. And it being totally NOT my fandom.
*coughStarTrekcough* >_<
I may reconsider if someone else really wants to see it, though :/ I'd like to not hate the drawing anymore, especially since I've got a sketch for a cute AkuRoku drawing on the other side of the paper.
I'll probably finish that one whether I post the other one or not, though; it's too cute to let go to waste

Also, I've realized something.
There are quite a few fanartists I look up to in the KH fandom, and they all have something in common, other than being crazy-talented:
They are happy, or at least appear so, and they have FUN with their fandom.
They love their fans. They don't get sick of them or annoyed by them enough to switch fandoms.
They aren't snooty or judgmental; they're just fun people who love what they do, love their fans no matter what, and don't question if it's a waste of time or stupid.
And I realized that that's the kind of fanartist I want to be.
Or artist, however it goes.
I don't want to be dull, whiny, bitchy, reclusive, ashamed.
I mean, this is what I love about being in a fandom, the FUN. Just pure fun, no complicated bullcrap. I appreciated this long ago when I first entered the KH fandom after having spent three years deep in the animal rights activist, political debating internet community; back then I was used to having my opinion debated upon by others extensively, people posting loooong lists of reasons why I was wrong about something (usually animal testing, but they did it with others, too), and when I finally came to the KH fan community, the shipping part of it especially, it was such a relief to see opinions RESPECTED for once, because there was no wrong opinion to be had, because it was just that: An opinion. Nothing wrong or right about it, it's just another person's point-of-view and interpretation, totally valid in its own way.
Fandoms make me happy, Kingdom Hearts especially; that's why I have them. And my role in the fandom should be to have fun and make others happy, too. I don't know if I'll ever achieve the semi-fame and awesomeness of the people I admire in the creative fan community, but I hope to get somewhere close. I may just be a wannabe, but maybe that's not half-bad.

*ahem*
Anyway, long story short, I'm gonna try to post more art here, srsly.
I feel bad that this account's collecting dust, except for my favorite-collecting. :[

Oh! And an update on something I mentioned in my last post: My icon here was actually sort-of made by me. I found another dA member with the "axel is totally gay for roxas" icon as their icon, and it hit me that the image in it was EXACTLY what I wanted. I remembered seeing that icon elsewhere before, on photobucket ages ago, and being sad that the text kind of ruined the total cuteness of the picture; not that Axel ISN'T totally gay for Roxas, it's just that sometimes you've gotta let cute be cute, and not try to inject "lol, sex" into it. That's my reasoning, anyway. >.>
So I saved the pic to my compy and edited out the text, and viola, that's the adorable icon I have now. :]

Thanks for sticking with me, guys! I'll try to make it worth your while, I promise
