A quick little wave to everybody who has left comments, shouts, or sent Notes to me recently (or ever, really).

While I am trying to improve my responsiveness, it is becoming pretty clear to me that I tend to be fairly guarded or suspicious of furs who Note me out-of-the-blue. On a site that essentially glorifies sex (and I admittedly am no innocent in this regard, given my commissions!), my base assumption is that those who go out of their way to contact me likely have some agenda (sex, roleplaying, getting a sexy commission with my fursona, etc.). To be blunt, I am not really interested in any of those things. The first thing I check when you contact me is your page -- if your page revolves around sex or roleplaying, that is going to be my first impression of you. If you are interested in just plain talking, please be up-front about it when you contact me.

All that said, when I actually do get up the gumption to respond to somebody -- unless I am in a very open mood -- I therefore start with the shields up and highly guarded. While I would enjoy making some more friends that I can talk to, I understand that I am pretty off-putting to begin with, and for that I apologize.

I am not online terribly often (just a few hours a night), but I am open to just talk.
