An idea

Mon Aug 14, 2006, 8:07 PM
We all know that the chances of anyone looking at your older deviations is not very high. If you have a lot of deviations, people have to like your work a heck of a lot in order to venture all the way back to the beginning. But older deviations aren't necessarily less worthy, right? Your new watchers should still see them, right? There might be some amazing stuff back there that you would just love to have get some more attention. Maybe some stuff you submitted back when very few or maybe even no people were watching, and it only got viewed a couple of times, but you still think it's awesome.

And so! I've created a somewhat informal tag game. Actually it's very informal, because there are no real rules. But here are the unreal rules:

1. At intervals of your choice (either on some specific schedule, or just whenever you're submitting a journal entry anyhow, or just randomly whenever you feel like it) post links to three of your oldest deviations in your journal. You should start with the three very oldest, and work your way up from there.

2. In your initial journal where you feature the old deviations, either re-post these rules or give a link to this journal.

3. Stop posting links when 1) you get sick of it or 2) you get up to a deviation that is either less than one month old or still displayed on your front page (whichever represents a bigger number). If you never catch up with yourself, that's okay! And if you want to start over again when you get to that point, that's okay too!

4. Encourage all of your watches to do the same thing.

5. Most importantly: when you see somebody on your watchlist linking to their old deviations, actually go and look. Comment and/or fav where applicable. How can you expect other people to do what you won't? Spread a little community love!

----------

With no further ado. I'll be posting mine whenever I'm posting a journal entry anyhow (Sunday searches not included, since I don't want to be distracting people from the real point of them). My three oldest deviations are:

-Festival truth
-Lifebonded
-Confused

:lmao: I've just started watching about 20 people, since this is a new (serious) account and there isn't a chance I'd miss out on seeing their older deviations, especially because there can be some absolutely brilliant ones and it gives me the opportunity to see a deviant grow and learn from that.

I will spread the word when I get more deviations up :D Brilliant idea.

The name is to do with my fantasy/fantasy sci-fi writing not due to the word day as in day-time or today.

Welcome to costco, I love you.

Is there a deviation in your or a friend's gallery that you have reason to believe I'll like? Tell me!
