I'm sorry for the inactivity lately. Between switching medications and dealing with some stuff I haven't had as much time to dedicate to FA as I'd like. Although getting on today has reminded me why I slowed down on commissioning people. I get paid 8.25 a hour. So when I commission somebody and I pay 10-20 dollars for art I'm up at 7:30 am going to work for a hour or two and then handing over that money I just made to someone in hopes of receiving a piece of art that brings me joy and happiness to see. However, I've been waiting 6+ months for art from people with little to no updates and it's breaking my heart. I've given money to people when they needed it, I bought art when there were charity deals, and I've always done what I could to help. From now on though I'm only buying art from people I trust, know, and have means of communicating with. I have to save all my money to get ready to move in two months to NC and when I do get art it's a special treat for me and I'm not going to spend it so I can wait another half a year for a doodle.
Big shoutout to who's not only amazing and talented but he's tremendously easy to work with.

Also artists. When you finish a piece for someone and don't tell them it's done and just expect them to find it in the submissions, that's awful for someone who's had to take a break and comes back to 2,000+ submissions and doesn't have the time to scan each and every individual picture to see if you've uploaded it.
