I'm not the one who freaks out how many watchers I have... I mean, as everyone I want to have more and more followers/watchers, but in comparison with many other folks around DA or the Internet, my current number looks rather bland. However when I noticed this...

I felt the urge to use this meme... Because it's a classic one. And there wouldn't be a second chance as good as this one. On the other hand that required me to do something against my 'policy' of not boasting about watchers, since my opinion on boasting about 'numbers' is quite similar to Stephen Hawking's view on people who boast about their IQ... (oh, irony) To make things funnier, someone actually unwatched me in the meantime so the counter showed exact 9000 at the time of uploading this comic:

Or this comic made someone unwatch me :P

Anyway, we need to take into account there are lots of inactive or deleted accounts in any list of watchers, so the number we see is not as relevant as some would think. Current viewership is more relevant, and this isn't looking too good in my case :P I have no actual reason to celebrate anything.
However, 'following' or adding to 'watched' is a form of giving a seal of approval to someone... most of the time. Numbers matter and don't matter at the same time. Surely paying too much attention to it might drive you crazy. Or you will act desperately. But people who check new DA pages often start from checking their watcher count, and this is the first indicator of popularity and... quality. Online statistics are both a blessing and a curse.
But if you keep visiting my page, you watch(ed) me, comment on my works etc., that's great, and I want to thank you for fueling my motivation to publish my works here and care about that at all. I can only hope you'll still enjoy my comics and pictures.

On an unrelated note - my editor and friend Midnight--Blaze wrote a comedy fanfic... Short Changeling Heroes. Have in mind I rarely suggest to read fanfics... and I wouldn't promote anything terrible :P
