What? WHAT?

Tue Apr 7, 2009, 12:45 PM
So apparently DeviantArt has decided that if you want to get "advanced critique" on your work, you have to get a subscription. I've never minded there being an option to pay monthly if you want some extra features, but do we really need to pay to let people know that we want them to seriously look at or read our works? Maybe it's not as bad as it seems, because really, people can still leave you whatever critique they want so long as they comment. Still, I don't know what DA is getting at with this, and I'm afraid of where they might go now that they're making opinions cost something.

deviantID

I am a teenage writer hoping to become a novelist one day. My writing centers both around the macabre and the comedic - and sometimes both at the same time. I write stories as well as MST's (humorous commentary on bad fan fiction / online stories), song lyrics, and what-have-you.

I love entertaining people and I love to be entertained. Creativity is one of the best traits a human can have, and even if I can't draw like the majority of DA users, I hope to convey my creative side through words as well as others can through pictures.

~ Hello there. How are you?
:icongeni-tamerlaine:
Do you know what's going on with your girlfriend or is she busy or did something happen. She said we would RP again soon and that was over 3 months ago? Is she alright?

BTW, this is Amazee.
:iconclearie:

*Glomp* I'm so glad you finally decided to start posting these somewhere...

But why a new account?
:iconninja-z-mst:
*Returns glomp* Because I got a new e-mail, for one, and I just felt like starting anew with a new account for both the MST's and my stories. It's the same as the old one, only with a new name.

Welcome (back?) to deviantArt and all. Hope you enjoy your stay.

You're a brilliant writer. If what I've read is from eighth grade, I can't wait to see what you're capable of now.

That's my :twocents: worth. I didn't want to comment on the actual writings because I'm horrible with "advanced critique".

Thanks! And don't worry too much about "advanced critique." All it means is I'd like more than "it sucks!" or "it's awesome!" Glad you like my writing though. I'll be sure to put up more soon.
:icontheoriginaleeyore:
You're welcome.

Is that it? D: Still, I don't think I will. It feels like I'm summing up all you've written into a small piece of "critique". Commenting always feels so mean.

I'll wait. :eager:
