Poll Results Are In!
Added 2021-02-10 23:36:20 +0000 UTCYou all have spoken and Albedo and Darkness are the two (un?)Lucky ladies who will be enbiggened for the fan art challenge!
That said, in spite of my early concerns that doing fat fan art would lead me down some kind of dark path of escalation from which there would be no return uh... nah, this is proving to be really fun (unless this is just what the dark path looks like when you're actually on it XD) so expect to see all the characters from the poll pop up eventually!
And hey, I'll probably enlist your collective help to decide the order and even add new characters to the mix, so stay tuned!

2021-02-11 01:28:48 +0000 UTCThank you very much for the words of encouragement! Honestly the road of escalating demands was something I *was* a little more worried about before I actually started this fanart thing (especially since it started as a user suggestion), but interacting with you guys and some of the other DA users on my actual posts has been very positive so far and the (very few) people I've had to turn down on stuff have been good sports about it. Honestly I was more trying to make another joke about how bent out of shape some people get about 'modifying' their favorite characters. There was a time in the distant past that I sort of fell into that camp and I was even a tiny bit hesitant to jump into the fat fan art game because of some lingering vestiges of that mindset. But that's part of my backstory that I haven't told anybody, so I guess the joke didn't make a lot of sense!

And, if youβre open to my reflections on the matter; As far as escalating demands from supporters are concerned, it comes down to communication. Some people on the Internet like to be obtuse for the sake of it, and they are not looking to have a discussion nor empathize with other people as being human. On the other hand, that dark path of escalating demands can come from too much placation, cultivating a sense of entitlement, so that, when one does say βnoβ, the individuals feel they need to get defensive. So, as long as youβre staying true to yourself, being authentic in your communication like you have been doing, you should be just fine.
