Hey everyone, I don't know if you've all heard about Dragoneer's new recruit, but the dude apperantly has a really shady past and a habit of misusing delicate personal information, so now FA has a pretty serious privacy risk.

I know I'll take a real hit for this, but I have to distance myself from FA almost completely, and I hope you'll understand.

I need my notes, because I still owe a few commissions and all the reference links and info for them are still stashed in my notes, but those will be done by the end of the month, and once they are, I'll be disabling notes, and probably comments as well. Instead, anyone interested in a commission once I eventually reopen will need to contact me by email or on one of my other sites(tumblr, weasyl, etc). I'll post up a journal with a form in it, all my contact info, and a link to make everything really super simple when the time comes. I'll be posting journals or submissions here occasionally for a while just to notify my FA exclusive followers of commission openings and other opportunities, but I won't really be using FA beyond that anymore.

*GIANT EXASPERATED SIGH*

I am going to be investing more time and energy into other sites, because although FA is the only site I have ever really had steady commissions through, and I need to sell art to survive because I don't really have any other source of earned income(I can't work a "day job" for personal reasons), FA is just so unreliable, and unprofessional, and now it's downright unsafe.
So, that said, here are links to my other profiles on other sites, I check them just as often as I check FA, and I actually post some things to them that I don't post here, so that's pretty neat!

Please, please, PLEASE, if you love my art and you want to follow and/or support me, please follow or +watch me on one of these other sites. I love you all to death, you rock, you all keep me going. But FA isn't safe to use anymore, and it's just such an awful site to begin with. I can't use it anymore.

This sucks extra bad, because I was going to start posting all kinds of hype about a comic I'm creating in the late winter/spring, and a patreon account I'm launching to support that comic, and just all kinds of cool merch-type stuff... I have COOL STUFF in the works to show you all! With FA being like this, now I know I won't be able to reach as many people. I have a lot less followers on all my other profiles combined, and that's just terrible because gosh. I WANT to show you all my art and keep you all updated on my commission progress and just everything, you know? I want to share the fun stuff!

Damn...

Thanks to everyone for understanding, and for hanging in there with me through everything, especially this past year. <3
