I'm done
7 years ago
My 3rd attempt at acquiring a physical identity (fursuit/costume/cosplay) for MFF has once again ended in a monumental disappointment. Instead of arriving a day before it was needed like the last 2 fursuit commissions I've acquired, this mask and accessory piece simply didn't arrive at all. On the 286 day mark out of 60 days; I lose and I'm out $1,700.
What I've realized is that moving forward, every artist that I work with will receive a consumer disclosure from me, stating that if the item/commission purchased is not received within 120 days; I will submit for a complete reimbursement through paypal to ensure I am under their protection and any artist that won't agree, I simply won't commission. I'm sure it's very visible on my Pinned Journal that I have a lot of artists that are past the 180+ days mark and technically; they could all just NOT do the work I paid them for. I'm hoping they won't, but either way: I'm done losing my ass on commissioned fursuits/costumes. It was something I hard really hoped to get into and be apart of: but I'm sick of putting myself out there.

FA+

Never liked suits. Thought they were creepy. People can do what they want, its a free country. Live the life you want, but I got better shit to spend money on then a mascot costume that I would be too embarrassed and ashamed to wear in public.
I had my teen years. With rims on my car. I've done my embarrassment to the human race.
I feel beaten up, and I just can't keep hoping for a different result anymore.
Like one giant kick in the nuts.
