Please please please fave the journal!
Make another journal about this giveaway and provide a link of that journal in the comments (this will help spread the word about this giveaway)
Regardless, I have unstored most of my deviations (well, the ones I like, so it's still over 350 works). Thanks to server glitches, however, the deviations will not show up for some time. I've had a few pieces unstored for over a month and a half, but they are still AWOL. I'm guessing that the new servers installation will fix a lot of the problems. I hope.
Oh, and everyone, when noting/e-mailing me for help, please be specific in your initial correspondence. I get many "can you help me" generic questions about Apophysis and CSS (since when did I become the CSS guru?). I don't know if I can help unless I see what the problem is. I will generally be able to help, but it's not a guarantee, so I would like to know ahead of time what I'm getting myself into (it also cuts down on the amount of notes I receive). Thanks everyone.

Mortified 
that is just my humble opinion. I hope you return.
Thanks for the encouragement, though.
I wonder how easy it really is to sell fractal prints? Fractals can look staggeringly beautiful to fractalists themselves, but would the general public really want to stick one on their wall? I've shown some of my pieces that I particularly like to my wife, and she'll bring me down a peg or two with comments like "It's a bit busy, isn't it?". Maybe if you understand fractals, you can see a beauty that isn't so obvious to others. I think a fractal print really needs to be designed with it being a print on someone's wall in mind. Good luck with it
Sure, you don't have any of the "new style" flames in your gallery, but honestly, who cares? If we were angry that you don't "update your style" we wouldn't keep coming back to comment on your page and to comment on your latest pieces. You have pursued the same types of flames since back when they were first pursued by fractal artists and one could say that you have perfected it. Nonetheless, you continue to bring new pieces and designs to the rest of us, and now your "old style" flames have become unique.
I have to admit, a lot of the new styles of fractals are not my cup of tea, and it is interesting to be at an impasse with my own preferences and the community's trend. You, like many other artists, have found your niche, and trying to break out of it should not be forced upon you. If you want to try new things, by all means, go ahead, but you have to understand that we don't want you to go against your will.
Seriously, you've created a style all your own that others are trying ti emulate (me included) and not doing nearly as well... you are still the mistress there. And your resources are beloved by many... me included. Please don't let that monster, self-doubt, make you stay away.

Well, I don't think you should use the word "obsolete". You know, you may think you're using the oldest of flames, but the vast majority of people, like me, had little or no contact with Apophysis at all, and what you have to offer is a tremendous novelty to us.
Besides, as someone said, you may have taken something "old" and given your style at it. Style never gets old.
