Welcome

Dear Visitors, Skyefairy.net will be changing greatly in the coming month. For the last year, my interest in Skyefairy as it is now has been waning gradually and I think it has for visitors as well. Submissions have dropped substantially, comments are rarely posted, and my updates have gotten fewer. Skyefairy's purpose for a long time has been to provide a place for people to share their artworks. However, it is getting easier for people to do this on their own with their own sites, deviantart, flickr, whatever. Angel (Maggie) suggested to me when I confided in her about this a while ago that I could consider giving SF to a new owner. This doesn't work for me. Half of it is that I'm too prideful to give up something I've been slaving over for seven years. The other half is that I honestly believe that the site isn't needed anymore and that is a big reason for the drop off. A new owner might revitalize it for a short time but in the end it would result in the same.

So I questioned what I want. Because I want a site that I really enjoy. I miss that greatly. Over my Christmas break, I will be transforming Skyefairy into a personal portfolio. Did you know, way back when I started out, that is what SF was? It only grew into taking submissions when a visitor emailed to ask if I would post her work too. I think it is time for me to go back to that.

I also asked myself what to do with current submissions, because I don't want to delete them. I will have a section of the new site for people who inspire me. (I'll be sending emails to those in the coming week). I'll interview them and post their work to preserve this.

Hosting will stay the same for the most part.

Affiliates have already been emailed.

Thank you for reading all of this and standing by me throughout the years. I may be downsizing, but I'm not going away! *hugs*

PS. I'll try and update my Twitter (@skyefairy) with progress on the transformation in the meantime.
