Update #5 - Good News, Everyone!

General
Howdy, it's been a minute!
I have good news on the job front. After a slow start and a lot of haranguing, I have effectively gotten into employee orientation for the local school district. Yay for persistence. As of now, I am an associate teacher (which is an industry term for a middle/high school sub). This doesn't mean the job hunt is over - there's no work over the summer - but I'm very close to getting sustainable income.
On the commission side of things, confidence has surged. All the free work paid off, lol. After putting in fics and requests for the Defem server, more and more commissioners have hit my PMs, asking for stories. Smokey Delights and METAINFECTION 2 did remarkably well. Thank you guys so much for the support. Really, it means a lot to see positive feedback for what I thought was beyond me months ago. Three stories are in the pipeline right now, with more on the way. Commissioners, you know who you are, and your patronage is welcome.
If my health holds, I can do this consistently. The whole, being a prolific author and making people happy thing.
Which would be ideal.
Writing has been a fun outlet the last month. It's kept me working at a comfortable pace, stopping the slippage of time and job hunting despair from peeling me off the ledge. There was a metaphor here, somewhere. Point is, being able to write, to interpolate ideas into stories with serious and cheeky characters, to reflect on my own struggles in the lens of canon and OC characters, has been a rock in an otherwise tumultuous sea. Y'all, porn's helping me out.
Back to business: the current commission list is a secret, though if I'm able to keep up the pace, I can maybe start developing a patreon. Would you guys like to see that?
