Not too sure why I’m posting in my LJ since I’m supposed to be not failing at doing my homework and such, but mostly I just felt like ranting, I guess.
I don't think you offend people or sounds too serious, you are very nice, polite and open-minded so I don't see how anyone could be offended ^^
“DON’T FAV WITHOUT COMMENTING OR I WILL FIND YOUR HOUSE AND BURN IT DOWN D:” Will never understand this either, sure, it's nice to get comments along with favourites, but getting angry over people liking your art? that's arrogance. There are even people on DA who would like to disable favourites so people are forced to comment if they like something. O__o'
As for crossposting art, I think you should. I crosspost a lot and ofter feel bad because it XD But in the end, it's a way to share your works so that more people can see and like them. Not everyone habitually login in more than one site, but I guess everyone is happy to see more art of their favourite chatacters or just nice art in general? (I so envy your perseverance, I have like..4954945949 sketches that will probably never get finished ;__;)
Sometimes I think I'm too polite, but if people don't find it creepy or annoying, then... I guess it's okay? :D (But I'm worried I come across as dishonest... eh, idk.)
Disabling favorites? That idea annoys me because, honestly, I really enjoy collecting favs - they're purely positive feedback and completely harmless either way, and I don't see the point in disabling them. Faving things can be a bit like fan art hunting, I think, which I love doing. But... then again, I've seen some pretty crazy things on deviantART. This isn't too surprising, considering. (Mostly I'm just morbidly curious and seek them out myself, so that might be my own fault. xD)
Mm, I could try crossposting my art to LJ the next time I draw something~! It seems like a lot of LJ-people don't really check dA that often, so hopefully it won't seem to repetetive? And if I crosspost I won't have to worry quite as much about running out of things to post here, too orz
