Hey, all! This journal's got a bunch of stuff in it, but first, the tl;dr version:

1. Updates begin tomorrow, starting with stories on current submissions and new submissions next Monday or early next week.
2. (Almost) all commissioning is on hold, pending further development.
3. Sorry for all the dropouts on messengers; internet troubles continue.

And now the full version:

So after taking some time to work out kinks and filing issues, I'm finally ready to begin actually doing things with this account's submit option again, haha. I've got a bunch of stuff I want to do, but the first thing that'll happen is normalizing and standardizing my gallery and my file system together. There's been some of this in the past (every submission has a standard description format, and submissions are organized by artist name and number), but I also want to add in extra information and a short story to each - that was asked about a year ago and opinions appeared to be interested in seeing that in my stuff.

So starting tomorrow and from the early submissions, my pieces are going to be updated with short stories. Rather than bombard with constant updates, I'll post one complete journal after it's all updated to let you guys know if you wanna check that out.

Second, I'm sorry to say that you might see me commissioning less in the near future. There's been some wonky stuff between Paypal, my bank, and my credit card, and I've had to put things on pause for a little while (if I am currently bidding on an auction, this will not affect that and I have made precautions). I've also had some financial concerns lately, and I'd feel safer saving up a bit more than usual just to be safe. With any luck, this won't last for too long - I'm hoping to be back to my regular state in July.

Thirdly, I wanted to apologize to everyone I've been talking to and messaging online on services like Discord or Skype. My internet provider has been absolute garbage lately and I'm pretty sure they're shilling me on quality and bandwidth. I'm going to be barking up my ISP's tree to get this crap fixed, but in the meanwhile please excuse me if I take a while to respond or drop out suddenly on you. I promise it's not you, it's my internet.

so I think that about sums up everything. Internet sucks, worrying about money sucks, but I'm gonna be making updates and submissions starting tomorrow!

So have a great day, and I love you all! ~<3
