the trick is to keep breathing

Hey y’all — figured I owe some people updates on their commissions.

I’ve gotten sidetracked the last couple weeks, for three specific reasons:

1. I started working for an online client and it was a bit of a struggle to figure out how to get their style to meet mine;
2. I accidentally became the mod of an incredible MCU fandom discord, where we chat and stream movies together and do word sprints, and it’s very very fun except that I accidentally run a discord now I guess;
3. The leadup to Avengers: Endgame, and the aftermath, was actually my first time experiencing something so big in a fandom that’s alive and current, so while the MCU is still just the MCU, I kind of let go and let myself enjoy the hype and excitement of being a part of that, cause I could.

That being said, I’ve looked at my money situation again, and I’m ready to get back to working on these commissions, and I’m probably going to have to reopen commissioning at some point. More on that in a second; here’s what I’ve got in the queue:

• queenlua/@queenlua — Sokka piece, 4000-5000.
• sepdet — a beautifully hilarious intricate crossover of FF into LOTR, 5000+
• lassarina — Locke, Celes, and Setzer pull off a heist and then porn happens, 5000+.
• flonnebonne — something from Momentum-verse, length TBD.
• /@clintobarto — prompt TBD.
• kebarnett88 — GW, 1x2 pining, nice full prompt, 3000-4000.
• RainDriesOut — continuation of the soulmark universe, Tony and Steve, 4000-5000.
• some lesbians who are paying me to GIVE HER THE STRAP fucking /@kangofu_cb /@aw-Hawkeye-no /@spidergwenstefani, likely to be over 10K of absolute filth.
• /@awheckery — Winterhawk In Kushiel , length TBD.
• /@mispelheim — winterhawk, misunderstandings trope.

As you can see, this is a lot of words to write!! And I am excited to get back to them!! It has taken me longer than expected, and the other reason is - as you can see - switching back and forth between fandoms can be tricky when you’re in one headspace and need to type switch to another. It’s harder than I gave it credit for, really.

That being said, I intend to turn in all of this work by the end of May.

The reason is, there’s more bullshit going on with my fricking pension payout than I expected, having budgeted for a huge cashout 01 May that isn’t here, and unless I can convince them to to an off-cycle payout for something THEY fucked up I may have to open commissions again. If so, they’ll open 15-20 May, with a new post and new price points.

Anyway — anyone on that list, if you’ve got additional ideas, now’s the time to throw ‘em at me! More inspiration always helps. I’m doing some paid work today but I’ll be starting on one of the top three tonight.

Thanks yall for the support, I have not forgotten and I intend to make good on all of these, yay me
