Should I post on DA again?
Added 2019-12-25 01:55:24 +0000 UTCA number of people have told me that I am allowing my personal issues with the way DA treated me before I left to get in the way of me getting fans using DA.
So wanted to get your feelings as to what you think.
If I started posting on DA again there would be
* 0 pictures showing genitals, and in fact I think I would also mask out breasts.
* My main story posts would be posted on there probably 2 weeks (if not more) after I have posted here... so people on Tier 1+ are still getting a lot faster
* The Sequence Pieces will not be posted, but I might post a couple of panels to show what is on. But I want the Sequence Pieces to be Tier 2+ special, and also if I do want to post I might charge for it.
So what are your thoughts?
-------EDIT 26 DEC
Thank you to everyone who give me food for thought and you did allow me to think on what was the reason I did and didn't want to repost on DA.
My feelings for DA and not trusting their banning/deleting policy is why I left last time, and I still have bitter feelings for that and that they could do it again.
So I will continue as I am, I will post bits and pieces from time to time to let people know I am posting, but I don't go back to posting my work fully on their site. I like having the control on my own site of my material, and I like posting here because I know the rules and so far I know I fit within them well.
Again thank you for everyone who added comments, and those who voted - it really did help clear my head!! :)
You are awesome!! :D

2019-12-25 21:41:57 +0000 UTCYour material is suitable for anywhere, and stuff DA or those fools who complain on DA, if they can't see that. Now having a nosebleed for having said what I think :), Now safely back on my fence, you do what you want, but do so in the knowledge your content is loved by lots of people :3

2019-12-25 20:34:02 +0000 UTCLOL :D Yeah for a moment there I thought you were going to make a stand :) LOL Yeah I am feeling pretty burnt by them and still don't trust them... so I am really thinking I do want to make sure people know I am posting, and where to find me, but I really don't want to share my work fully there anymore... I just don't want to go through all the pain and hell I did with them if someone decides they think my stuff is "not suitable" for DA.

2019-12-25 20:02:51 +0000 UTCAs you can tell, I find fences comfortable :D, though the fact you're 5-2 against it and still feel burned by your previous experience, suggests you don't want to. That is a bit too close to me giving a thought, I'll climb back on that comfortable fence:) LOL

2019-12-25 19:29:46 +0000 UTCOkay Pro and Con... Blame Karen for making me think more about it :) Posting to DA PRO 1) More exposure to public of my work, as right now my work is mostly hidden on sites people might not be going to. 2) Hopefully getting more fans of my work, which might mean they will join Patreon CON 1) Have to create different versions of the pictures which show nakedness 2) I have no control anymore over if something is acceptable or not on the DA site, and someone can complain and get my stuff banned if they don't like it 3) To get the most out of the functionality I would have to buy a Full Membership - additional costs 4) Additional work for posting panels. 5) I really don't want to give DA money for what they did to me, they were rude and crude, and the people who dealt with my pictures being banned showed they didn't care for Transformation/TG art at all, so were bias. And they ignored my complaints about the issue when I sent to their complaint department. Um - there is more Cons and to be honest I do still feel bitter about how they treated me, and the things they said. Um...

2019-12-25 18:39:14 +0000 UTCThanks Karen, I have in fact already been doing that but that has really not made much of an impact. which is where people state that I should be posting the stories there, but delayed and then links to what I have the full thing, or Patreon. I think the thing that I have now is I have control over my material, I can post what I want on my site, and there are some rules I have to follow here, but they are not going to really cause me issues. In DA, the rules seem to change depending on who complains, or who reviews your work. I want to get more Patreons - not really for money but for fans :) Because it is nice to know lots of people are viewing my stuff and hopefully enjoying it :) I will admit something - I got more comments on DA :) LOL :) But while I like comments, I know people are enjoying my stuff here because they are supporting me - and that is awesome. Argh - I think I am overthinking it.... really it is "Do I want to post my material again to DA in Panel releases, or do I not." I feel a Pro and Con Coming up :)

2019-12-25 18:29:16 +0000 UTCWow coming from you - so on the fence :) LOL - Mostly it is just trying to find out what people think more than making the decision for me :) LOL

2019-12-25 18:24:52 +0000 UTCConsider posting on DA as an advertisement. Use links to the sites where you want to have your true renderings.

2019-12-25 13:16:56 +0000 UTCIt has to be up to you, and anything we think is just opinion, so do or don't, stellar advice as usual, really coming off that fence :D

2019-12-25 10:04:41 +0000 UTCThanks Alex (hugs) and you are right, I will still decide what to do even no matter the vote, but I wanted to hear your lovely points of view, because I have realised I do tend to make rash decisions :P LOL

2019-12-25 04:29:29 +0000 UTCI think regardless of how the votes end, you should do what you feel is best. Im sure you could get more patreons if you do decide to post there again as well but this is a decision you will know what is best as it pertains to you. Regardless, ill still support whatever you choose, i still go on DA, Raider-99 there btw, and have been a fan of yours for quite some time because of DA

2019-12-25 03:43:24 +0000 UTCthanks Hun - and yeah... the last experience would be why I would basically not allow sexual stuff to be shown... just don't want to go through that hassle and rubbish I had last time.
