Memorable moments

This should be a quite easy subject to think of as the most memorable memory of the year obviously is the memory that first pops up in your head when you start thinking about moments you remember. Sadly, there is no such memory that pops into my head, so I'll just tell you about a few fun things that have happened.

In february, I got a Daily Deviation on my favourite website Devianart. A Daily Deviation (DD) is a feature that is showed on the first page and gives the artist a lot more attention from the members of the site. (Or as Wikipedia put it: A submission deemed by a staff member to be impressive or otherwise interesting enough be brought to the attention of the community-at-large; it is considered to be a great honor within the community. It is commonly known as a DD.) It is indeed a great honor to recieve a DD, as only 20-40 is given out per day on a site which recieves 100,000 new submissions daily. In my case, I got 13,000 new views on the featured drawing - in one day. The next day I had 2,200 new messages in my inbox - comments on the drawing, notes that people had added it to their favourites, notes that people started watching (they'll get a note each time I upload something new), etcetera - about 100 times more than I usually have.

Except from that it's obviously quite memorable that I've met a lot of new friends and been to my first Anime convent, which lasted 3 days and was great fun, however it's hard to describe these events (especially the friend one), as they took place over a long time.

My DD can be found here.
