Yeah, it's frustrating. Before I got my own tumblr account I googled my name + tumblr, and the pics that came up had notes in the hundreds. When I post stuff to my own tumblr, it gets completely ignored, unless I'm lucky and it gets picked up by one of the larger tumblrs.
That might explain why so many artists seem so panicky about Fanlore? Hm. Different topic.
Oh, not different at all. That is why I have problems with Fanlore's policy - because it reflects the general fandom attitude toward fanartists... which is that they respect the art but not the artist. But I have a much larger problem with tumblr. (And I don't have a problem with any fanart of mine on fanlore personally; just the general policies and the way the discussion was sometimes handled.)
