Another dAmn Interview! is a new series I'm starting up where I interview a deviant who is regular in the dAmn/Chatroom area of deviantART, and ask them to share their initial and current opinions on that area of the site. Since this is a new series I'd love some suggestions from you about how it can be improved, and any other questions you think should be asked. Thank you!

1. When did you start using dAmn compared to how long you've been on dA?

I've been on dA for 4 years now and I have been using dAmn for about a year now :meow: I had made my own chatroom ages ago, but never used it really. It was just something I made since I was able to. I was busy exploring other aspects of dA and my chatroom was left behind :XD: I then attended some chat events and enjoyed talking to deviants in the chats.

2. Did you find yourself drawn to any chatrooms in particular when you first started using them?

Not really...I would go visit different ones to check them out. Though, I would go into #seniors and communityrelations a lot at first. I did go into #devart a few times, but I have to say...it gets so hectic in there :XD:

3. Have you made any friendships while using dAmn?

Definitely! I've made quite a few friends through dAmn that are still very good friends with me today. A few of them I met through the chat events during dA Staff Appreciation Week. Such a fun week :giggle: And others I met through my own chatroom :la:

4. Are there any rooms you would recommend other deviants visit?

I'd recommend #seniors & WeEmote. There are usually quite a few in them and they're nice and friendly! And of course my room, :#TheDarkAngelGathers: :lol:

5. Which medium of art was your first love?

Watercolors :love: I loved it when we used them in my art class and I would love to experiment with them more :happybounce: I just love how soft and delicate colors can be when using watercolors!

6. What emoticon / graphic is your favourite to use in dAmn?

Oh, boy... :lol: I use many different emotes, so I'll list five random ones I enjoy:


:groinstare: by Sailor-Pikmin
:loveblank: by Little-Vampire
BWAAAAAAAAAH... by CCpotteranimator
:lovelyglomp: by Kyramy

7. What chatrooms do you usually hang out in?

Whenever I go on dAmn, I'm always in my room. Other chats I visit often are #seniors and PizzaPixels :love:

8. Some people are scared to join dAmn because of the amount of deviants using it - do you have any words of advice?

I know it can be a bit intimidating going into a room where there are so many deviants chatting. Sometimes chat events can become a bit overwhelming even for me :giggle: But I would recommend that if you want to try out dAmn and meet new people, you have to just jump right in. It's kind of the same with school, college, etc...it's ok to be a little shy at first :aww: There are so many chats to explore that you're bound to find deviants that you'll enjoy speaking with. And it's always fun to meet new people :dummy:

9. What was your impression of the chatrooms before you started using them?

Honestly, I didn't really care to be apart of them :lol: I'm pretty shy myself and back then when I was still exploring the site, I hardly knew or talked with anyone. I often thought, "Who would I talk with?" But I always tried to keep in mind that one day I might utilize chatrooms once I made some friends, so I created my chatroom to have until then :aww:

10. Is there anything else you would like to add?

I'd like to thank you so much for interviewing me :love: It has been a pleasure! :heart:


Emote Story Entry: Page 2 by Quolia Strawberry Decadence by Quolia Going Under  Sunlight sparkles high above me
  out of reach, rippling;
  shimmering and fleeting like
  a ribbon, beckoning.
  Minute spheres of glass ascend,
  resembling balloons escaping
  from a child's careless grasp,
  fading beyond sight.
  My throat is sealed, invisible hands
  compressing; my body accepts,
  shifting to stone and dragging
  me below.
  The moment to act is long gone and I
  let go, readily accepting and
  no longer keen on clutching
  to threads of time.
  Silence suppresses me, my eyes
  flicker then close dreamily as I
  sink further into Death's
  icy, gentle
  embrace.
  Passion by Quolia Unrequited Love          I'm next to her, a smile pasted on my face. She goes off about her day, the sound of her voice melding into the background as I gaze up at the big screen. Every once in a while she asks a question and I feel forced to answer, her eyes on me. She does not notice a thing and starts droning on again. The lights begin to fade and she finally quiets down. I look up at the screen, my heart racing.
I must remain focused.
          Now I'm sitting in the passenger seat, listening to her complain about the same old thing. I force a laugh and offer hollow sentiments. She blasts the music and soon we're singing along to the song together. For the smallest of moments I feel elated and full of wonder, but it soon fades when we pull into my driveway. I wave goodbye as she drives away, my eyes secretly pleading to her.
I must remain calm.
