You're not going to be loved when you're a BNF. Believe me. Most BNFs are the focus of much jealousy and attack, so don't expect it to be all flowers and roses if you ever reach that status.

If you want to be a BNF, you've got to produce. And the stuff you produce has to be good! Simple as that. If you create and folks like it, they will stick around for more.

But...you're only as good as your last piece, I'm afraid. You cannot rest on your laurels. If you stop producing, folks stop paying attention. They're not in it because they love you, of course, they only love the yayas they get off of your work.

It appears you're making the BIG mistake of believing that if people like your creations they will like you too. Not the case. Sorry!
