Happy Belated New Years! Also Winter Group TF Raffle is Go!
8 years ago
I hope everyone's had a wonderful Christmas vacation and a Happy New Year so far!
Sorry I've been away for a bit. I'm still slightly burned out from sickness and lack of sleep, but I'm recovering nicely.
Just wanted to post this journal both as a well-wishing for everyone, and as a sort of announcement as well (some of which may or may not count as part of my new years resolutions).
First, I want to finally clear my list of overdue and forgotten projects and commissions. Regrettably, I have to admit that things have been so weird, cluttered, and almost disjointed for me over the past year or so--especially considering my breakdown and falling off the internet a few months back--that it's become almost disturbingly easy to lose track of all the important things I need to do. And for that, I apologize for keeping everyone (and especially certain people still waiting for art from me) waiting. In this new year, it's going to be my official goal to finally break these habits once and for all.
And hopefully, once some of these lingering issues have finally been resolved, I'll be able to take it easy and be a bit more active online as well. Rest assured, this year will be a better year for me if I can help it. ^_^
With that in mind, we come to my super overdue Christmas Raffle from 2015 that I kept saying that I'd do. Well...we're doing that right now. Yep, right now...or rather, in a few hours from now. :) And here are the rules:
--The Winter Season Raffle will officially start in a short while, once I post up the updated sketch plans. The original sketch plans from a year ago with 45 slots (all claimed) will carry over into the new plans unless one of those people wants to change the character they picked for their slot or decide to grab a different slot instead.
--The new updated sketch plans will have a total of 70 slots, so some of my more recent watchers can have a chance to get involved. To claim a slot, you must comment on the submission with the number of the slot AND a link to your character ref. The first person who claims a slot will take it, so make sure you're ready when it starts.
--I'll be taking my time with this one, but I'll be working to have the entire thing done by the end of the month (and I'll probably work on this a bit in a future stream as well.)
--Only watchers can comment and claim a slot. I'm really sorry about that, but this Group TF was always meant to be a sort of thanks to everyone for the wonderful year of support.
So...THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THE WONDERFUL YEAR OF SUPPORT! I really appreciate all of you!
Original version here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18616612/ (Note, this ISN'T the updated version, so don't comment and claim slots here...but if you think you've already got a slot from a year or so ago, you can check here and make sure.)
Later, I'll likely also renew this super old one as well: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/12979289/ . Looking back, I had promised to follow through on this one but never did, and I've always felt a bit guilty about getting peoples hopes up and never acting on it. I fully intend to make it happen this time, though I'll likely be wiping the current list of claimed slots and either choosing people myself to fill the slots or hosting another raffle so anyone can have their character in one of the slots or even be the main victim being stretched. XD I haven't decided yet, but we'll see how it goes.
After I've done all of this, I've also finally decided on some ideas for future games, comics, and some stream-of-thought writings (where I just take an idea and let my imagination flow with writing idea), so you'll likely hear some more updates on those very soon as well.
And finally...one thing that I know I need to do more of is interact with people online more. It's sad to say, but whenever I'm stuck dealing with some issue, my first and foremost impulse has always been to shrink away into my own little safe place and struggle with it on my own. Despite this, I do understand that having others to lean on, talk to, and even have fun with usually turns out MUCH better in the long run. So, I'm making my move to Discord official now, and I'll probably either start hitting some chat groups or setting up one of my own. I doubt I can manage having more than a few friends on my Discord right now (I'm basically a hermit at the moment, and I don't RP anymore like I used to), so I'm sorry to say that--at least for the moment--I likely won't be accepting any friend requests beyond the few people on my personal Skype.
I will be looking into joining or creating a chat group soon though, so if you want to chat with me, hopefully we'll either get to do it there, or you can note me and visit one of my future streams. Honestly, I wouldn't be above a Game session or something too, but who knows. I actually don't know where I should start with that, but I'll try to figure it out as we go along. ^_^
All in all, I know that I've been a bit of a flake this past year (and honestly, I still feel unsure of myself, which is why I'm pushing against my comfort zone to make this happen), but here's hoping that this coming year will be one of the best yet. Thanks for reading---especially if you made if this far down--and I hope everyone's having a wonderful day and a great start on the year.

I lost access to my account for a bit so I couldn't leave feedback for a while. Sorry about that ;w;
