Artist's Comments

Let's see how many people actually look at my page and see this, as opposed to just copying and pasting a generic thank you and a link to the work I've already favorited. :giggle:

Don't get me wrong; I don't mind brief or generic copy-pasted thank yous. But I HATE HATE HATE it when the person posts a link to the piece, thereby turning my page into a billboard of sorts for their work. Come on, people. I don't want to be your free commercial. :p

Couldn't have put it better myself!

Ooooh, I completely agree. I can't tell you how many times I've thought this. However, if the fave was long ago, I find the link useful...

Hmm - this is funny as it's something I do all the time, not because I want to make a billboard of the person who fav'd a piece, but to thank them for faving a particular piece. I will get people posting thank-you's on my page for fav's ages after I've done so, and I've got no idea what it was of theirs that I fav'd. I for one appreciate a link back to the piece to remind me of what I was pleased to see in the first place and it gives me a chance to enjoy it again.

I actually had someone recently send me several nasty messages escalating in their intensity and who finally banned me for thanking them with a link on their page, and my only response was to the first message apologizing for having posted the link, having not noticed a journal entry asking people not do to so, albeit not clearly.

I'll have to pay closer attention to this when I'm thanking people.

THANK YOU.
I HATE GETTING THANKS FOR FAVES.

Me(E): you are a dreamcrusher, Alex. A brilliant one, but a dreamcrusher.
A: haha
E: you are, sir. I should go dig up Langston Hughes and tell him that.
A: you should
E: "What happens to a dream deferred?" "It gets stomped on by Alex."
:iconjamberry-song:
This is half tongue-in-cheek. XD Only take it half seriously.

Duly noted. So when I thank you for a favorite, if you comment back on my page or do anything that may make me more popular on deviantART or even seem more popular from my dA stat's, I will hunt down and kill your fiftieth-born son.

:)

It seems not to be an uncommon sentiment though, so it is worth watching for.

I don't link the piece and mention the title occasionally. You're right, others' pages are not advertising billboards. dA has adCast for that :)

poets are singers who haven't learnt to sing
musicians who haven't learned to play
they know not what it is we bring
think us priests who haven't learnt to pray.
