Remember how I said I wanted to make a new account, then I said I couldn't abandon this one?

...Well, I've decided to make a new account after all.



If you care about my work, please watch me there.

Why am I doing this? A variety of reasons... this account is filled up with the dust of ages; I watch so many people I can barely keep up with anything anymore... there are so many old pictures on here, so many rambling whiny journals I can't stand to think about... I really really can't stand this name which I made up when I was barely 13 and sounds so juvenile and silly...

Perhaps above all, this account is in many ways a remnant of the struggling person I was through late middle school and all through high school, and now I feel I am emerging into a new present and future; and since art is such a big part of my life, and this website has become the most stable staple of my internet life for years- I would like to start anew here as well.

To you guys who have stood by me for a long time... in some cases, years... I love you. And nothing's changing about me underneath... I just want a fresh start, and if anything I am a better, stronger person. It's a personal thing, and difficult to explain, but it's something I feel needs to be done. It's been gnawing at me for months, and I keep telling myself I don't need to do it, yet the feeling hasn't gone away. So here we goes... we'll see if it lasts, and see if I come crying back to this account after a month. Who knows.

It shouldn't be that big of a deal, should it? Heh... lots of people have done this. And yet see me struggle. I'm sentimental; I get attached... and yet that same symbolic nature tells me I need a change.

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be rewatching people on my new account and rejoining clubs. I'm not sure what to do about the art... I'm thinking about leaving this entire gallery as it is and just putting my new stuff on the new account, rather than transferring things. Or perhaps I'll transfer my very favorites... what do you guys think?

You can still call me Fluffy if you want. Or PJ, or Minty. Or Alter, I guess. I'd prefer one of the first three, though.

My apologies to those people who watched me recently and now have to go through this switcharoo.

By the way, I doubt much will change about the actual content of my art, at least right off the bat. I've been trying to get myself to do more original art for a while now, but it's a slow weaning process from fanart. The account change will mark only a change in names and give me the excitement and clarity of starting fresh here; my art itself will be just as if you had always been watching this account.

Although, about that- you'll notice my journals and art for pretty much a year have ground to a halt. It's been an incredibly busy year; but even with that, I feel that this account has been giving its last gasp for a long time. It's time for me to start new.

Farewell, Fluffycatgirl. It's been a good almost-five-years.

See you elsewhere, my friends!
