Dear (Fellow) Writers/Artists;
While I may write, and do so in a sorta-okay kind of manner, I am not here to try and get better or be published. I do not wish to have a book with my name on it. I don't want to have one of my stories piled into a compilation. I am not on dA to promote myself in any shape, form or fashion. That is not my style, by any means.
Now, I am sure you have a question in your head: "Why do I care about this?" Well, good sir or madam, if that is what you want (or what your group is aimed at) I want little to do with ya. If I notice that more than half of your group members are "aspiring published authors" I will bugger off and do something else. Yes, groups are nice. Yes, like-minded people are nice too. Problem? I am not like minded.
I do not treat this like a networking employment site the same way I also do not treat it like MySpace/Facebook. deviantART is a place for artists to group together and share/enjoy art, and not much else. If you want to be famous and/or "seen" then you should not be on dA. This is something fun. Art/writing/etc is something we are supposed to love, and be enjoyable experiences. Throwing work in the mix, is not fun.
Random PMs (dA's equal being "notes") annoy me. Community involvement is not something I typically get recruited for. I am not a nice person. If you ask my opinion on crappy art, I will tell you it is crappy. If I think you are an idiot, I will tell you. I do not like people who have idiotic and, in most cases of "wanna be published," absurdly asinine hopes/dreams. I live in the real world, where statistics rule and a flooded market means no one is going anywhere. Need I reiterate, I am not a nice person.
So, in conclusion, if I wonder into your group and check things that does not mean I will stay. Be thankful I cared enough to look inside and even comment.
Sincerely;
DudelRok
P.S. Seriously, no random notes. It is my fault, though, for reaching out. I forget how desperate people are for friends.

So I still have a dA and stuff...
The internet has not really been high on my priority list of things to deal with, especially with not wanting to be home on a general level, but you all know how that is. Put a lot of emphasis online and then accidentally a social life and things get pushed aside.
Currently one school year down (sans a summer term I'm debating I even want to deal with right now), and in charge of a club on campus ... accidentally. I do a lot of things on accident, like get to know people and hang out places. I don't know. Certain aspects are still difficult to deal with, but a lot of others are becoming easier to not only have but express. Not looking forwar
The Lines, They are Bluring!
I ... I am in a state. Dudel (sometimes with a Rok) is an entity I have created in order to help handle certain aspects of self that would be otherwise difficult to, well, handle. By itself, this was fine. The problem, though, is that "Dudel" is largely an online concept without a real face, yet it's the version of self most easily identified with ... and I am now actually "out in the real world" taking this creation of "me" into it as a way to better deal with things than previously able.
...the bottom line of things is my "online self" and my more "real self" are quickly becoming a more single realized thing, and this is causing me to mak
How to Deal With 'Hackers'
First thing I want to get out of the way is: Phishing isn't hacking. Phishing is a lack of internet safety by the person who's been targeted. Some simple ways to avoid phishing scams are installing NoScript to identify scripts running and learn to identify malicious or suspicious URLs.
All dA URLs look like this dudelrok.deviantart.com, and most competent browsers will show you the exact link you are going to in either the bottom left or bottom right of the browser window. If you hover over the above link, it should show a redirect from deviantArt to "example.com." Speaking of redirects: dA directly warns you NOT to follow links you don't kn
Semester 1 Down
Kind of an "Oh yeah" moment, but I finished that first semester of supposed "upper education." Grades were posted today, so I figured I'd share my thoughts. Firstly: If Summer with 4 classes is supposed to be some huge big deal and fast paced, I am DREADING the slow, tedious, hell that will be fall. Can you believe that the supposed "mini-mesters" were not fast enough for me? Cramming an entire class into 6 Weeks was, for me, too slow. :XD:
I'd like to now take a moment and send a few shout outs to my classmates and teachers.
