Haha, I doubt I'll ever be Tapas famous, but I'm a strong believer in being humble and always helping other artists. Despite popularity, I'll always be around to support my fellow creators.
Hmm, I see, and that makes sense. When you build up to something, it's hard to stay in touch with everyone. I totally agree with you about writing fanfiction and doing fanart. I could have kept riding my fanfiction popularity, but that's not who I wanted to be or be known for. I've heard of the five-year thing before, so we'll see what happens. And thanks!
I hope things go well here! I do love the community so far =)
