Goddamn I miss Orderly Chaos. I'm so glad I'm finally going to be out of school. Except for the two summer classes I need to fill up my elective and quantitative reasoning credits for the AA, plus the COMPASS test, which I'm going to need because I basically failed my intermediate algebra class, of course. I'm looking at computer art for the elective, though, so that should be cool if I can actually get in.
If I can actually get in. The rest of the family is having financial issues at the moment, and thanks to being cut back to two hours a week at Papa John's, so am I. I'll be opening commissions again as soon as I finish the ones I have lined up right now (those of you who did request one, I apologize for the wait—I didn't expect to get many, but I ended up getting a whole bunch all at once), and hopefully it'll be enough to pay for classes.
At least I now have my PayPal account linked up to my bank account—it was ridiculously easy, actually, and I expect to set up my CreateSpace account within the next week, too. Now that I'm going to have a lesser workload, I should be able to concentrate on my original fiction. That said, expect me to be around Tumblr a lot less—I apologize to anyone who this inconveniences, but I have novels that could have been finished last September and are still about in the same stage they were left at then. I only have my own poor time-managing skills to blame for that, but yeah, it's time to buckle down to business. I can totally finish at least one by the end of this year if I really work hard.

years later...
If you never expected to hear from me again here, you probably weren't far off. I more or less abandoned dA after I found that A) most of the artists in my life were gravitating toward other platforms, usually with greater cross-functionality and B) the new website layout really, really honestly sucked for me. I logged on today in a fit of nostalgia prompted by my roommate, and promptly went down a rabbit hole of browsing through my fairly lengthy gallery -- especially the characters of @OrderlyChaosRP , who were the bread and butter of my art for a long time. I miss those characters a lot. I miss the atmosphere of unfettered creativity and imagination and absolutely bonkers plots and character relations that they were born from and I miss the days when I was absolutely addicted to creating, especially co-creating with friends. It's been a long time since I felt that way about almost anything, for many reasons, but it's been ... refreshing, I guess you could say, to see all this and
Shit, y'all still here?
I don't think I've posted anything here for literal years or maybe done anything besides the occasional few-minute notification check and leave, but I may start actually using dA again at least for collections -- I'm starting work on a visual novel script! And although it's not as lively or as popular as it used to be, for sure, dA seems like it's still a relatively decent place to find reference pictures and royalty-free assets, and I'd rather use the work of and give credit to other individual makers, especially for my first project, than to go to random free use sites or pay major aggregators like (gag) Sh*tterst*ck or G*tty when I can. So *blows dust off account* say hi if you're still here and still following me, I guess?
find me elsewhere!
I don't particularly want to give out my tumblr on here because I don't have one that isn't just artwork, but I still crosspost to my fanfiction.net account (when I remember to); I've just gotten back into writing fanfics, so you can find me on ao3 most of the time. My usernames there are both Fanless. I'm working on uploading all my stuff on all my accounts (slowly but surely), so I'll likely start crossposting fanfic here as well.
Drawings.... we'll see. :P I'm back to not having a scanner at home and, quite frankly, my current phone camera isn't all that great, so you're not likely to see a whole lot of that here for a while. I've conside

Can't believe it's been so long since I even checked my messages, let alone updated anything here!
Unfortunately, there hasn't been a whole lot to show. I finally finished school, moved halfway across the country (my first time living away from home besides for school), got a couple of jobs, got married and moved in several friends and housemates, discovered a whole host of new fandoms, and just recently my now-husband and I purchased a small company that we'll be working on from home this year!
It's been a lot. Sadly that's also been coasting on a lot of depression and other mental issues, and I've been having a difficult time being creati

I miss Chaos too! And you! Sorry about failing to text you back, I generally do so between classes and write you big long ones but then they don't go through because my campus connection sucks and I have too much homework to retype them. BUT MY FINAL FINAL FINISHED TODAY. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE 
It's party time!!
I'm so sorry you're having trouble financially, but I'm SO EXCITED for you commission-wise! It's awesome your art is getting attention; you deserve it. Good luck on your stories! I know exactly how you feel, Candy
I finished one of mine recently--the retelling of Snow White. I think it needs some more editing, but it's a good read. Sorry about failing to send you that Kings of Darkness... I decided I was going to rewrite it AGAIN so the draft I was going to share got canned.
Over summer, let's help each other out with our stories. We can share chapters and brain storm and stuff. We still need to in-person skype sometime! I want to hang out with you more over summer. You're still one of my BFFs!
