FWA Cancellation + Still Working
9 years ago
It is with a heavy heart that we announce our cancellation of our trip to Furry Weekend Atlanta (FWA) this year. We've been attending annually for nearly 9 consecutive years, so believe us when we say, we did not come to this decision lightly.
The past couple of years have not been kind to us in regards to a lot of personal matters that have happened in our lives. Unfortunately, that has affected our ability to move quickly through our commission queue, which has lead to longer than expected completion times. For our commissioners, we can't apologize enough and say how much we appreciate everyone's patience with us.
With that said, we cannot in good conscience dedicate time to anything other than our current commission queue. The thought of spending time making inventory (or a partial) to sell at the convention when we still have people waiting is not right in our minds. And if we don't have items to sell to cover costs, we cannot justify making the trip nor the time spent away from home. So our best option was to cancel the trip and focus on working through our queue.
Ideally, we would like to attend next year once things are more settled for us, we are in good financial shape, and we have totally caught up on everything we owe. We apologize to those who were looking forward to seeing us. It sucks, we know, and we will miss you guys. But this is the best call we can make as professionals, so we hope you understand our reasoning and enjoy the con!
We'll be fine and are hopeful things will begin to improve for us soon. Just last month, jakejynx started working a second job to help out our finances, so hopefully, that will alleviate some of our stress with time and help us get back on track.
As always, if anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us any time! We're always around, even if we're quiet. c:

If it helps I would gladly like to be put on the lisit for 2 owl themed characthers fluff suits even if its not till 2017.
Myself I admit I've been pondering not attending... It's changed a lot and while some good things, a lot of the people I like to attend for and consider friends attend not so much.
I hope your situation improves that you can make it though next time. :)
BTW My suit is still awesome and I wear him whenever I get the chance!
We aren't going either this year. Take care you two!
