With my pageviews approaching 30000, I think it's time to address something important.


When I started doing all of this, I never thought it would ever go anywhere at all. I never thought many people would care, or bother to look at all of this. I was wrong. I thought that the art was the important part, not the artist. I was wrong again.

NonFatFree is a character that I made up, but that character is not me, the artist. Despite that, it seems like the two have become one, which is really my fault. When I signed up for this whole deal I knew that I was diving into a mostly unexplored area of artwork; one that who knows how many people actually would enjoy. I didn't bother to anticipate that I might want the people who see and enjoy all of this artwork to actually know who I really am.

For all those of you who are wondering: I'm not a gainer, I personally don't want to get fat, and that will always hold true. Most people don't know that I, the artist, in fact identify as a female. (I know this is a sticky area of discussion, which is why it was so difficult to deal with it when first starting up. But the fact is that I definitely don't identify as a male, which is likely the idea most of you all had.) I know that this area of artwork is mostly populated by men, but I need to get that out in the open. That's part of the reason why I'm making this move: so that I can start again from the beginning, this time as myself, not some character I get to hide behind.

I'm sorry to those who I lied to about said identity. Quite simply, it was the easiest way to deal with the situation. But this artwork is something that I really do enjoy, and I really hope that you do too. It might not seem like a big deal to some, but to me it's a matter of staying true to myself. "NonFatFree" isn't me, and I think it's time to accept that. I hope that you'll all join me on my new account,

.

I'll be moving all of my work onto there, so don't worry about anything getting lost! All that's getting lost is this name and this "life".

Once again, I really, truly am sorry. Not to be true to yourself is a heavy thing to endure, and there just isn't any reason for it anymore. I'm certainly not stopping this sort of work, for the record! I just need to do this for myself: I need to do it my way. Thank you to those who understand, and even thanks to those who don't, for at least taking the time to look at what I've created. Hopefully I'll see you all on the other side!
