I'll update the challenge in a bit, but first:

I have a very important matter to address. owo

NOTES and what you should know before sending one to me

Awhile ago, I made a list of things you should and should NOT do when sending me notes. It seems tons of peeps have forgotten it, so I shall refresh everyone's memories. owo

--

I appreciate that people note me, I really do, but I think I have to make it clear what I want noted to me. o3o

DON'Ts

No 'Hi's or, 'I'm such a big fan's please. Those can be said on my page. o3o

No requests. I don't do requests period. >w>

No questions about what I use. There's a forum AND a formspring for that. If you're really curious, you'll see what I already answered. If you don't see what you're going to ask, then you may ask, but i'm starting to get tired of repeating myself every few days. =w=

Check the commission status on my page before asking. I always keep that up to date, so if it says they're closed, they're closed. If it says open, they're open. =w=

Don't send me a note asking how to be my friend. Friendship occurs naturally. My friends now-a-days never asked me how to become one; we just hung out on something and just became closer. That was it. o3o

Don't send me a note asking why I don't respond. I'm busy, and sometimes I don't want to reply because i'm either too lazy, or the note is simply too ridiculous for an answer. >w>

Don't ask if I do art trades. I'll be honest here; I want to do art trades with more experianced artist, or friends only. You see, it'd be unfair if I spent a whole day on some amazing piece, and then someone uploads something that they took maybe a few minutes on something. It's just too high of a probability. eAe

DOs

Ask if I can take the commission when commissions read OPEN. Also, wait till I approve it. Sometimes, I get many spots filled at once, so I may not fill the slots up in time. o3o

Send a note if it's a bit more personal. If you're asking me about what you should do with a bad situation and don't want anyone to see it, sending a note is better than commenting on my page. >w<

Sending me fan/gift art. It's a sure way of letting me see such things. >w<

Informing me of important things I need to know. This includes different kinds of software that might somehow help me out, or maybe games or books I could try in my free time. Technically I don't need to know these things, but meh. >w>

~~~~~~~~~~

If there's anything you guys want to ask about and about which category they go into, comment~ >w<

That was what the journal said, so I would very much appreciate it if you would follow these guidelines and not just send me silly stuff. I'm losing every important notes in a sea of spam. ewe
