Okay, so after dragging my feet I've decided that it is time for me to start a YouTube channel officially. Now one thing needed is a channel icon. Now this is the fun part because I can't really draw so I have 70 points for someone who is willing to draw a channel icon for me that I would like/use. I'd be focusing on MTG and Pokemon mainly so yeah, if you're up for 70 points, please, make me an icon!

Alright, so for the last few months I have taken thousands of pictures and I want to put some up on DA but I have no way to do that because I don't have an adapter for my Kindles.

Never the less I am trying to get back into the writing grove and I hope to update my stories by the end of the year or rework old ones because looking back on it...Oh boy...cringe worthy.

That being said my first DA priority for Fanfics is going to be Champion. Now I doubt anyone besides remembers it but it will be vastly reworked as a new beginning was already created for it, back in June...here on DA with no response so depending on view rate when I get around to it again, it might move to fanfiction.net under my username there of deviantpokemontrainerjay. Yeah, I know, super creative...not.
Anyway I do feel as if I've let at least one or two of you down but I hope to be more active for writing and pics in January (Library, can't really go in December because I'm working Toys-For-Tots)

Hope you guys stick around!

I honestly don't care. I have felt no excitement from it. My only plans are to be  my birthday drink from the coffee shop, go play MTG or some other video games for a few hours at the local card shop before going to dinner with my family. I just feel 'meh'

I am being a complete moron and I don't care.

For my first ever EV trained Pokemon, I'm making a Gardevoir.

The catch: it's a Physical attacker.

Adamant Nature.

Moves: Zen Headbutt, Fire Punch, Shadow Sneak and Pain Split.

It came to my attention that over the past year I have been more successful with my fanfiction.net account rather than my deviantart account for most matters.

So with that in mind, I want to point out a few statistics.

On deviantart, since October 2012, I have had 42,492 page views, 104 watchers, and (I know I removed a few pics) 36,570 views on the stuff in my gallery. My most like deviation is PNW Lightning, Abandoned Rodents has the most comments and the picture of the amount of snow at the Paradise Inn at Mount Rainier is my most viewed deviation with 962 views. Now that may seem like a lot, but just listen to my fanfiction account:

Since July 2014

I have had 1,042 people view my profile page, am on the favorites list of 40 people and the author alert list of 36 people.
Aside from deleted stories, I have had 24,165 views on my stories, with most of those occurring in the last six months. My the most viewed story is Skywalker's Daughter with 7,948 views, it is also the most reviewed with 41 reviews, the most favorited and most followed.

Sure, DA might look like it holds an edge, until you look at the number of pieces up.

DA: 453
Fanfiction.net: 18

To put that into perspective, that is

For each piece average:
DA: 80 views, 1.12 comments, and 4.77 favs per deviation
Fanfiction.net: 1,342.5 views, 11.4 reviews, 8 favs, and 9.05 follows per story

Both sides have had stuff deleted, I even deleted two 1k+ viewed stories earlier in the week on fanfiction because I didn't like them. For right now, Fanfiction is whooping my deviantart's ass.

But when I tried to put my work from fanfiction onto here, it only bubbled, except for Hiding in plain sight (pokemon fanfic) chapter 1, which had more views on DA in one chapter than four on fanfiction.

The amount of haters on DA is remarkably less compared to fanfiction where I have been told to kill myself. Not fun. So, that's why I have this ongoing experiment to see if I can reach that same level of success as I have on fanfiction on deviantart. I'd like to be a little more well known around here (Granted, I get kicked out of every single chatroom).

Now don't get me wrong, DA can be great for some people. But for others who are trying to get noticed among the endless sea of people with better equipment or more skill, it is kind of sad.

So here's to us little guys, trying to find our place to shine. May life treat you well.   -Jay
