Reciprocity or…

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 24, 2009, 2:23 PM
…you might say give-and-take.

Reciprocity is a good thing. The Link System is reciprocal in nature and brilliant in its ease and simplicity. We should always keep in mind the purpose of Linking.

"It helps everyone. And art."


It's simple to do and takes only a little extra time when you're submitting a deviation. The little bit of extra time you spend to personally choose and feature someone else's art in your artist's comment box is very rewarding because you've helped someone else and yourself. A little give-and-take always feels good. On dA it has its other rewards as well — exposure of deviants and undiscovered art.




Change of Address Notice


Although *TheFulkrum originated The Link System it isn't directly related to his account anymore. For those who have been Linking or promoting, there will be some redundancy at first but we promise you that will soon change. *TheFulkrum and I are working together to maintain things here and to keep you guys smiling. Your opinions regarding decisions are very important to us. It's the one thing we can laugh at. On a constant basis. (He said that, not me :lol:)



System Status


*TheFulkrum and I are very excited about the success of TLS. We've done quite a bit of research and a little bit of Sherlock Holmes investigating to find as many Linkers and supporters of TLS we could. The Link System began with one lone Linker. To date, we have at least 150 that are known to us! And each day it's growing. We've listed those who are helping in a custom box on *dALinkSystem's profile. We're calling it the Linkers Community. Go check it out! And if you want your name added, just let us know. :)

We greatly appreciate each and every one of you for your support and hope to show you our gratitude in every way possible.


Please take a moment to enjoy our slideshow feature, titled Exposure. We hope you'll enjoy it and show the artists some love by viewing and faving their work. We've also collected some Underexposed art we hope you might choose from to Link.

Don't forget to check out our shiny new Speed Linking Video Tutorial, too!!! :excited: Not everyone lives on dA like *TheFulkrum and I do, so we understand that taking time to Link can be an issue for some people. :)


We'll be sharing tips and suggestions with you for Linking many different styles of art.

Below are exciting ideas that were recently suggested to us:

:bulletblack: *Me-Myself-And has suggested Linking stamps. We think this is a brilliant idea. You can see an example of this type of Linking by clicking his stamp.

:bulletblack::bulletblack: *gold-rose has suggested Linking emoticons. We'd love to see how that turns out!

:bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack: *PondDreamer suggests Linking stock photos to Literature. Another brilliant idea!

:bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack::bulletblack: =DIEZEL420, Admin. of the *naturephotographer club, has suggested Linking photographs to traditional art. Linking these two very complementary categories would be very effective. Thank you James and I apologize for forgetting to mention this the first time round. :)



We want to think outside the box where TLS is concerned. We encourage input from all of you who Link and support TLS. Please don't hesitate to note us with your ideas and suggestions for TLS. We're eager to hear from you.

Looking Ahead


:bulletblack:Exploring all of the possibilities of Linking in every style of art will be ongoing. We truly believe there are no limits to the benefits of Linking for artists and their art. Used correctly, it's a nothing but a win-win situation.

:bulletblack: New Video tutorials for The Link System are in the making (Speed Linking Tutorial is here now!). Until then, please continue to refer to the original tutorials below.

:bulletblack: We'll soon have a slideshow featuring Linked Literature.

:bulletblack: Details of a TLS contest will be given soon. It will include great prizes. We hope all of you will participate.

And there's even more to come in the weeks and months ahead. So we hope you'll stay tuned to *dALinkSystem :D



:new:The Original Video Tutorials:new:



These Video Tutorials were actually made a while back and for the original TLS account i.e. *TheFulkrum. More polished and accurate ones are forthcoming, but to just give you an idea for now:



PLEASE: Read the Manual, watch the videos. Do whichever one you wish to. It is the perfect starting point.




After 6 months, we know one thing about TLS —

It works.

It takes a few extra minutes to submit. Anyone can Link. Anyone can help.




:new:eye candy:new:







:new:memories of the visual type:new:






















Enjoy art and have a great day. Actually, before you do that please go read and Link. :)

P.S. 'Link' in our case is spelled with a capital 'L'. If you do not do this, you may not play with us. Thank you.

  • Watching: ...just wanted to say hi and stuff...
