Please Distract Me Internet ;_;
There is a person on the Anime Boston forums posting mean and hurtful lies about me and my buttons. They are claiming that I make bootleg buttons (download art or trace art from the internet and scans) and have stolen art from a friend of theirs. It's completely untrue, and I've been accused of making bootleg buttons before. I've always taken it as kind of a backhand compliment and ignored it. ("Your stuff looks so good it must be copied!") I know the truth, and I've always just let my work speak for itself, especially as I haven't created a fanart button in over a year. All of my new designs are completely original.
But it's the venom that this girl is using that is upsetting me. I haven't even responded. I don't think she's aware I'm on the board. Someone else defended me, which is warming, but I'd rather the girl hadn't gotten engaged in conversation at all. She first just said I made bootlegg buttons, but is now claiming that I've stolen and traced art for a friend and "bs'd my way out of it at another con."
Still, I don't know why I'm this upset. (I'm near tears now just thinking about it.) I couldn't sleep last night fretting about it (Which is probably why I'm so emo now, being tired always makes me more reactionary.) It doesn't help that today is a day when I download files at work, which is long and boring. I usually wander around the internet while I do it. But all my regular spots have dried up, no one is talking... leaving me wanting to poke at the festering wound that is the Anime Bostom Forums.
Does anyone have some cute, fluffy internet sites for me to visit? I need something to distract me. Anything. Please?
