I have no more power than anyone else in the process of Daily Deviations

It's no secret that I am friends with , we've been incredibly close for the past year and I love her to death. Do you really think that gives me any more leverage with my DD suggestions?

I'm sick to fucking death of it. I rarely send Fiona suggestions any more, in fact the deviation in question was suggested in chat as I fawned over it in my message centre, but I might as well stop sending ANY DDs in seeing as I'm friends with and too! Hell, why stop at resources? I've chatted with, and am on friendly terms with half the GDs on DA, so let's just stop me suggesting anything eh?

I suggest DDs for one reason, and one reason only - BECAUSE I FECKING CAN. Underappreciated artist? I want them to be more appreciated! Deviation that makes my heart falter and tears gather? I want everyone to experience that. An extraordinary display of talent and skill? I want that artist to know how much we value their hard work.

Or in the case of stock and resources, I suggest deviations that inspire me, and that will inspire others. I suggest deviations that are good quality, with a useable subject and composition. I suggest full body model stock that is unusual, emotive and easily removed from the background. I suggest portrait stock that is striking, of a good angle, that is versatile. I suggest background stock that creates a mood, leads the eye and sets a scene. I suggest object stock that is pin sharp, sparks the imagination, and that adds a finishing touch.

You can't tell a GD to feature something, they will simply consider your suggestion and either agree or disagree. Fiona has laughed at my suggestions many a time, as has ^lyastri and LDD just facepalms when I forget to check the downloadable size and it's actually 500px square and pixellated to hell

Yeah, people might think 'hmm, yeah I'm not convinced' and believe me, I do that a lot. Just step back from the keyboard and click on 'send a note' before venting. Tell the GD, not the deviant who just happened to be DDd. It's not just common courtesy, it's a rule, set out in black and white.

I'm not particularly unusual in my DD suggestion regularity, I know various deviants such as , , and are all huge suggestors, and I'm sure there are many more. You want something to be loved? Suggest it! And be prepared to defend your reasons for doing so when the rattling masses rain on your parade.
