Ok people, this is it.
I was just made aware of this: sonnelittle.tumblr.com/post/73…
Which is so completely fucking ridiculous and RUDE of dA 'support' that I am finally deciding to get the fuck out of here while I still have my art and writing at least somewhat intact (as far as I know :shifty: ).
After years of being on this site and watching the decline in the last two years, I'm just plain done.

To my followers that follow me for my writing:
I have two sites that I publish on.
:bulletblack: ff.net: www.fanfiction.net/~actuallyfe…
:bulletblack: AO3: archiveofourown.org/users/Actu…

To my followers that follow me for the artistic side of things, I have an account on tumblr that my art is on:
:bulletblack: tumblr: actually-fen-harel.tumblr.com/


I am taking down my art and writing. Period.
If you would like to contact me outside of the sites I have listed, there are three ways.
:bulletblack: Xbox Live: xXSpyke1985Xx
:bulletblack: Skype: shannaleia
:bulletblack: Email: drkhvn@hotmail.com

To the GROUPS I admin for:
:bulletgreen: SFH: I honestly am not doing much for you guys right now but hanging out and occasionally organizing the gallery. So really, you'd be better off kicking me anyway. I love you guys, but I'm really not doing you much good. I'm sorry.
:bulletblue: ME-X: I founded this group, and I will continue to monitor it.

If anyone wanted trades or commissions, I can still be found via the other means I mentioned, and I am still open for that. Just not on this bloody site anymore. I don't trust it, I haven't for a long time, which is part of why I haven't posted anything new for quite some time. I'm very sad that it's come to this, as I've made a lot of wonderful friends from this site, but I cannot justify staying here and risking my hard work being stolen and the theft completely ignored by the shockingly shitty staff. When even tumblr has a better response to art theft than dA does, you know there's something seriously fucked up about that. I'm not risking it.

To everyone I've met, talked to, followed, become friends with, chatted with, etc, I thank you. You have been a wonderful community who has done nothing but encourage me and help me bloom into the artist and writer I am today. You are wonderful people, and I really hope we'll see each other on either the other sites, or continue to correspond in some other manner.

It both saddens and upsets me greatly to have to do this, but I can't risk losing everything I've done because the admins of this site are rude jackasses. No thank you. Much love to everyone, and I hope to see you again soon.

Spyke1985, signing off.

[Update]
So, I've decided that although I won't be posting anything original (photography, art, or lit), fan art isn't technically something I own. So, I will continue to post any fan art I draw. I haven't decided on the fan fiction front, so for now, that will remain off-site. But for those that followed me for my fan art, you will be able to see it once again. I will not be uploading WIP's anymore, only the finished product.

Also, I'm still drawn towards this site for the people I've come to know and love on it. As some of you have, I'm sure, noticed; I've continued to comment on things and reply to comments, etc. I will continue to do so.

My feelings towards the STAFF of this site, however, are unchanged.

I stand by my decision to remove everything original from this site. I don't want my original work stolen. So that's that.

You should've seen my face while I was reading this. I was TERRIFIED!! I'm glad you decided to stay, though. I mean, there are many awesome people and awesome art. Leaving just because of the ‘great‘ staff isn't worth it. :tighthug:
