Deviation Actions
It's been a while since I've been able to fully keep on top of the watches and likes that have so very kindly been sent my way by readers over the past few months, and when I have been able to do this at all, I've also been frustrated by the need to remember who had fav'd more than one piece so as not to spam them with multiple comments thanking them and also the fact that the site seems to have a set limit as to how many comments can be made in a set space of time to prevent nuisance spamming.
In light of this, I have decided to drop my habit of thanking people individually every time they like something and instead send them a Llama if it's the first time they've added a piece of my work. It's quicker for me and maybe less of an irritation for people who are nice enough to regularly add my stories to their collections, but it doesn't mean that I'm any the less grateful for the attention and positive feedback that I always interpret favourites to indicate on the part of readers.
Of course this doesn't mean that I don't have time for comments and notes sent by readers and those with similar interests to me, those are, as always, both welcome and very much encouraged. So please don't be offended on the one hand if you fail to hear from me after adding a fav

Seriously, now I can't submit stories!
As if the changes made to this place weren't bad enough already, now I find that, when I go to submit a new story, there's no option to upload text. No problem, I think, I'll just use a PDF version of the file instead. Not everyone seems to be able to read them on here, and it's a bit more of a hassle, but at least some people will get to see it. But then I find that I need to submit a preview image to then submit the PDF file, yet when I try to do so, the site just ignores the files that I try to use. So if you want to know or care at all about why I haven't posted anything around here recently, DA just gave me another very good reason to think twice before I try to do so again. The changes were one thing, but this place used to be a quick and relatively easy forum on which to share my work. The aims of the people in charge seems to be the wish to make this site no longer viable for me to use in that way - which makes me sad, as it's been an important part of my being able to reach
How in the hell does DA even work now?
I'll admit that I've been away from here for a while now, popping in whenever I had the time to do so. And as a result of my absence, the news that DA was switching to a new format was not something that I could properly digest. But having just tried to use my account for the first time in a while, I have say that I've got no idea how these changes make anything better or even allow me to continue to use my account at all. Navigation seems to make no sense, search results can't be effectively filtered any more, notifications are now apparently a permanent thing, and I can't add a single thing in my notification list to my favourites any longer. In short, these changes have made DA almost useless to me now, and I'm wondering what the point of even trying to get back into the swing of posting around here would even be. Is there any help out there?
Social Distancing means Distanced Socialising...
I'm sorry to have been absent from DA for a while now, but the world just seems to be conspiring against me when it comes to my online presence in places like this. I don't need to mention how weird and unfamiliar things are for all of us right now, but I do want to assure anyone that's interested in my work that these are the main reasons for me being less than active on here recently. I have not deliberately scaled back what I'm doing and posting on DA, and I still have a number of private commissions in the works or circling the airport that my workload resembles right now.
Currently I'm juggling the realities of social distancing, home-w
