No newcomers, please. (I will get to them when their time comes) I'm looking for artists that have been around DA for 2 or more years, and have a large and loving/supportive fanbase. Anyway, this is Kai, signing off!


-EDIT- Well, it seems I broke my number one rule by interviewing someone who has been here less than 2 years, but I misread her origin date and thought it said 2004 instead of 2006. But I won't let that happen again.
