Admin Stuff – Input Needed!
4 months ago
Greetings! Thank you for reading. I know that no one checks journals, but here’s hoping I can at least give you all some updates on things and stuff. I put together a survey for it, located HERE! Do take a look and let me know what your thoughts are.
As a reminder, I have a character list HERE and I understand that some people got confused. On the bottom of the page are tabs, for each setting I have. It defaults to Eba/Almisa but there are tabs for BRASS, Renata, and Other. Granted, this list is in sore need of updating now, but I’m hoping to get to that soon.
Also, I want to say, that last poll was a lot of fun. I’m wondering if those would be something that you would be interested in doing more of that. I know my journals tend not to get much response. I imagine it’s because it’s not anonymous? I understand it, so I’d think if I want input I’ll try to use a poll when possible. One other thing I was thinking of was an AMA, or ask my characters anything (AMCA I guess?) I am hesitant to do that because sometimes it comes off as presumptuous. However, it might be fun, and I know I’m pretty vague with my chars so I could try to talk more about them if you’re curious. Who knows, I could do art for it, maybe comm someone to do ones I think would be fun.
Speaking of comms, if I opened for commissions myself, would you be interested? I am way too busy and way too backlogged to even consider it at the moment but I wanted to gauge interest, potentially in the distant future.
Next, I wanted to ask about posting references here. Admittedly, I really don’t like posting reference images. It similarly feels kinds presumptuous, and again, I like having stuff to show for characters instead of “they exist.” Also some refs are drawn by me and as such they’re terrible. But I know I’ve left folks in the dark, and looking over a bunch of refs I’m nervous about uploading, I’m just genuinely curious if you or anyone else wants to see any of them.
I wanted to ask again. I know I do a wide variety of stuff, and while very few kinks bother me, I know I’m in the mass minority in that case. I got no real clear response last time I asked, and I try to keep my frontpage clean and kink-free, with folders for every main thing I do, but I know following me may lead to stuff I upload popping up in your feed that you may not be a fan of. I assume those who don’t follow can still find what they want through tabs, I try to tag as best I can. But I want to know. Should I split off to make some other accounts for the various different things I do?
Lastly, and this will likely ONLY apply to Renata and Garadyn’s setting/Secennia, and Juniper’s setting/ET CETERA, but… I have had ideas for stories involving… less than consensual activities. I know half the stuff I write is pretty much already forced and bullying and such, but I also understand that similar behavoir in the sexual sense is definitely a far cry from that, and can a few steps more intense or too far for some. I likely won’t write it to be like, traumatic or anything like that, treated in the same way I do for most other things I write, but I wanted to ask if I should put it on this account or if I should consider moving it elsewhere. Amana is already kinda dubious and without giving away too much, Garadyn is a lot meaner (Hence why I’m a little nervous to post much of him yet). If you want to keep anonymous, vote in the jotform. I must stress enough I don’t condone this in real life any more than I condone blowing yourself up or feeding yourself to alligators in real life. That being said, again, it was a thought of mine.
As always happy to hear from you folks. Hope you’re doing well!

and ye ref pics are good to post
I see how you might think it presumptuous to do different things, but you shouldn't! At the end of the day, sharing things online we all do because we think it might be a fun activity, others might like, or want to be paid :D
Commissions would be interesting, but I do say since you are backlogged that you should set aside (or even have) around the time you need to fulfill however many comms you want to accept, and the length you'd be looking to write up to.
I like reference images, paired with the backstory for a character - I saw one for Amana that I don't believe you've posted before in that GDoc, so having a nFA folder for posted references would be a nice middleman option.
As long as you tag more extreme stuff with content warnings, you should be able to post it here. As for noncon/harder such, I would say the same. If it's in story format, actually that's much easier as well - simply add a "contains: ipsum lorem, etc" in top of the description (which you normally do already), and downloadable file as well for those who just click download and ironically don't read the tags :x
Anyway, it's always nice to get some thoughts from someone sharing their universe ideas, so even if you don't do initially much with a character, don't be afraid to just come back with more for them later! Some may like that too, lol. I hope you have a good day, and get some good responses once again.
Yeah I'd love to do comms or even requests all the time but I just don't really have the time for it. Maybe one day I'll pop the comm tab back up... once I sort my schedule...
I'll add the other Amana pic on a list to do. It has been posted by the artist HERE but couldn't hurt to repost here. (Weirdly people keep asking for Avi but she's already been posted! AVI )
And always, I always try to tag and warn best I can. I feel like it spoils a bit of the fun to explicitly lay out what's in the story but I also don't wanna squick anyone out if I can help it.
But yes, thanks for the feedback and thanks for partaking in the previous poll! I'll take into account. I've seen you about for awhile so I appreciate you sticking around!
do what feels uncomfortable, there's always a community
appreciate ya all the same
may you let some kindness unto yourself, too :)
