Hey, all.

I've been debating about this particular announcement for a while, now. You all know that, about a month and a half ago, I lost my best friend in the fandom, Conner. It was a huge blow to me, my friends, and everyone who knew him- but now, the dust has settled, and many people have gotten back to their lives, myself included. School still needed to be taken care of, and with it all its attached drama from lazy students, overly entitled parents, and incompetent administration. My dad was also diagnosed with cancer back in January, but thankfully, he's been in a stable condition and will begin chemotherapy soon. Still, it's been a lot, and outside of dad, there's not been any real improvements, and it's been dragging on me a bit.

And that brings me to my commission list. I know almost all of you have been remarkably patient with me, and I appreciate it, but I think I need to take a more clean break- of my remaining commissions, two of them involve Conner's characters, and that's not something I'm ready to tackle, while most of the others are difficult to tackle. Some of them I was working on the day it happened, and it's difficult to come back to those. So, I'm cancelling my commission list. No one's paid me in advance, so it should be a minimal hassle for people. I apologize to those that were looking forward to their commissions, but I think this is better than stringing people along- and, again, I don't accept advance payments, so no one should be out any cash.

Now, does this mean I'm taking a hiatus from writing altogether? No. I actually really do want to continue writing, I have so many ideas- but I have a very limited pool of time until school ends in about a month. I also restarted Big Stories, which I'll give more details on later. Right now, besides Patreon, I just want to focus on personal writing with what time I have for it.

Will I reopen for commissions? Yes. I need to clear this off my to-do list for now, but I will re-open commissions most likely over the summer, once I've had a chance to recharge/recover from the school year. I'll make an announcement when I'm open again, though I will most likely limit myself to three or five at a time.

So, that's the long and the short of it. I appreciate your understanding in this situation, and I do want to continue to entertain and titillate with more stories about big animal people getting bigger. I just need a little more space for the time being.

Take care and God bless,
-Renard
