Hi, there, VedaDalsette!

I'm there with you.. I've been using Poser for a little over 12 years (started with Poser 8), and I definitely use it for storytelling. I've had a series running here @ Rendo for around 11 years now ("Girls From T.N.A.") and have thoroughly enjoyed the interactions with everyone - at least until things started to slide downhill - which is what all of us in this thread are trying to remedy. And you are on the money... Yes! Both groups should be supported here. Writing is an artform just like any other creative endeavor. Just look at some of anahata.c's or Wolfenshire's work. It's brilliant.

There are many here that don't post masterpieces (including me), but it IS legitimate art, and has a place here. Like any community, Rendo runs the gamut. There are 2-D images here that look like they were done by a young child, and there are pieces you have to look at closely to determine if they're a photo or a render. There is - or at least should be - room for all.

Also like you, I get tired of the floods of repetitive images being constantly posted by the same 4 or 5 individuals, but as I said above, that's a dead horse I've been beating for a long time, and it's not likely to change unfortunately. It is what it is.

But please don't feel like your contributions "aren't worth crap" - they are as valid as any other contributions. Art is a very personal thing.

Have a great week ahead!
