So...for over 2 weeks I wasn't able to get logged into this account after the whole mass password reset debacle. FA's password recovery/reset tool refused to work for me like many others. I kept processing requests almost daily, but the email with the verification code I needed would never come in for whatever reason.

I eventually got tired of waiting, since there were a lot of people (including artists) I had no other method of contacting without access to my account, so I made a new one. As I said in my journal there, part of me was glad this happened because I'd been procrastinating making a new account for years, since this one's name is tied to a character I don't really use or identify with anymore. I won't be reposting art in my new gallery that doesn't have anything to do with my characters Tenkai or Jun, and no, I'm not going to mass delete artwork here. So don't worry if you have stuff faved in SamoyedSin's gallery; it'll still be there.

I don't expect to carry over all the followers I got on this account over the years. This place has never been about popularity for me. I've met some pretty cool people (and some pretty insufferable ones too -_-) in my time on FA, so I'm mostly just posting this journal to let my friends and acquaintances know what happened and why there's not much activity on this account anymore.

I'm going to leave SamoyedSin up as a backup account, but for those who're interested in keeping tabs on me, my new account is:  datpandakai

I found it kind of funny that I FINALLY got an email from the admins to tell me my password had been reset manually literally the SAME DAY I took the plunge and made the new account. The timing was curious, to say the least. XD

Oh well, I'm just glad to be back. For those of you who aren't planning on following me with my move, I appreciate what interest you took in my page here while it lasted, be it for the art I commissioned or my rants and observations in my fuck-ton of journals posted over the years. See you all on the flip side~
