Small Update + Writing FAQ
a year ago
Heya folks! Just wanted to quick throw a journal together because I was recently reminded that I haven't been quite as active here on FA with posting my writing work as I am elsewhere. I thought it'd be a good idea to let you all know what's up in regards to commissions, posts, and that sort of thing, as well as just a general update!
The summer's been going fantastic for me and I've been doing a LOT of writing overall. This is the first summer where I've actually been writing full-time (Or, at least, full-time for a 20-year-old living at home, hah) and it's been going really well! I'm really so happy that people like my work enough to let me do this as an actual job, it's difficult to quite put into words how grateful I am for all of you. The support I get from everyone means so, so much, from the folks that just love Lucy to the people that enjoy my writing. Seriously, thank you guys. Anyways, though, on to the burning questions!
I've actually been mainly opening commissions for writing work through my Discord server, since it makes it a lot easier to communicate with people vs. communicating through FA notes. The Note system here is pretty clunky, and it tends to make it a lot harder to manage comm openings, especially when I have to manage posting announcements on every platform vs. just one.
I *have* been opening commissions quite regularly there, though! Currently I open for a few slots every Friday, around 12:00 PM EST. It's not always exact, but I've been trying to stick to that. Usually it's around two to four slots, depending on what my next week is looking like.
I have it linked in my profile, but it's at the bottom of a big block of text, so here's the permanent invite link in case you'd like to join. https://discord.gg/FYjGzCHuRz
There's no need to be active or even talk at all- It's got a bunch of roles for art notifications and commission opening notifications, so if you're interested, come on in! I'd love to have ya :3
I don't, unfortunately. I do get quite a few notes about this and I feel like it's probably important enough to put here. I'm flattered that people like my stuff enough to ask that sort of thing- I mean, even if they are basically asking for free smut, it's still a mark of how much people like it- but I simply don't have the time to do requests at the moment. Maybe sometime in the future I will, but not at the time!
Trades are a lot of fun, and I always love doing them! I don't really get very many people asking about trades, but whenever I do, I'm usually down to give them a shot if I have the time. Admittedly, I'm usually a lot more comfortable trading with folks I'm already somewhat familiar with- Since that means I'm usually already pretty confident I can deliver something up to their standards- But certainly don't hesitate to ask if you'd like.
I've got kind of a massive backlog of written comms that I haven't actually posted onto FA yet, mainly because the process of uploading stuff to this site is often times a bit of a pain. Having to come up with a title, description, comb through the fic for any fetishes I've forgotten, and tag stuff for even just a single post is a LOT, and as such, I've sort of reduced the work I post here to just short smut based on art and a few various commissions here and there.
That being said, though, I absolutely intend to get through that backlog and do a big bulk upload here one of these days! It's gonna take some time to sift through and sort everything out, but you can expect a huge supply of stuff sometime soonish. In the meantime, though- All that currently-unposted stuff is already up in my Discord, so if you'd like to see more of it, pop in there and check it out!
Anyways, I think that about covers it. Apologies for the somewhat long-winded journal, but I thought it was a good idea to outline all of these details and such for the folks that follow/watch me here. Hopefully it's been plenty informative, and if you've read this far fingers crossed I've answered a question or two you had, or didn't even think you had. In any case, thank you all for your continued support- Again, it really just means the world- and I hope you all have a fantastic day. Hugs from Lucy! :3

When/Where are you opening comms?
I've actually been mainly opening commissions for writing work through my Discord server, since it makes it a lot easier to communicate with people vs. communicating through FA notes.

Do you do requests?
I don't, unfortunately. I do get quite a few notes about this and I feel like it's probably important enough to put here.

What about trades?
Trades are a lot of fun, and I always love doing them! I don't really get very many people asking about trades, but whenever I do, I'm usually down to give them a shot if I have the time. Admittedly, I'm usually a lot more comfortable trading with folks I'm already somewhat familiar with- Since that means I'm usually already pretty confident I can deliver something up to their standards- But certainly don't hesitate to ask if you'd like.
Where's the writing posts?
I've got kind of a massive backlog of written comms that I haven't actually posted onto FA yet, mainly because the process of uploading stuff to this site is often times a bit of a pain.

Pfft. Sorry to laugh, it's just that I'm glad I helped inspire the spread of information.
