Thank you so so much to everyone who was interested in commissioning me again. Commissions still being discussed are still available to be accepted. I will have to close for now and work on what I currently have. It will take some time but I hope I will be able to accomplish much. Thank you all again!

It has gone past an extra day since the date that I would have been suspended until, and I have not heard back anything further from DA staff, so I will have to assume that things seem to have become better now for the sake of my account here. I did have to unfortunately dispose of a great deal of older stories to be as safe as possible, but I saved what I could as some of them were indeed commissions from back then. I have saved over two thousand pages of writing over the last several years, but commissions that were only ever provided via stash links need to be saved by those who had been given the links themselves. I still would say for everyone who has commissioned me to ensure that you always save anything that I've written for you onto your own personal computer or somewhere else that you can always access. I will continue to be as careful as I can be from now on so that I will hopefully not deal with this trouble in the future. I would really like to keep using this account for the time being.

Unfortunately, I am not able to say I can open up for commissions again at this time. In about a week's time, I will be going on a lengthy trip and it will likely slow down my writing work even more. I have been trying to get several other ideas down in the mean time and I will post them over the weeks. I truly do appreciate all of the support. I WOULD like to open for commissions again in the near future and I hope that I can use my account as Borin23 to do so.

I was suspended for a short time earlier today by Deviant Art staff, but while I was able to have my appeal be responded to, I cannot guarantee if my account will be safe forever. I really hope that this will not have to happen again as it was rather upsetting and confusing. I can easily say that this is the first time I have been concerned for my account in the 15 plus years that I have been part of this website. Though it was seemingly a small issue, That is why I want to make sure to let everyone know about this, to be perfectly safe: IF YOU HAVE COMMISSIONED ME BEFORE, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO ACCESS YOUR STASH LINKS AND SAVE YOUR WORK, COPY-PASTE OR SOMETHING OF THE SORT, TO ENSURE THAT YOU WILL HAVE IT ON YOUR OWN ACCOUNT. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN YOUR COMMISSIONED WORKS. I CANNOT SAVE THEM ALL OFF OF STASH NOR WILL I REPLACE THEM OR REFUND THEM. I MAY NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO FIND THEM EASILY. SIMPLY MAKE SURE YOU SAVE WHATEVER YOU CAN, INCLUDING POSTED STORIES MARKED WITH (Commission) ON THEM TOO, IN CASE THEY ARE GONE.

In case I do need to make a new account on Deviant Art somewhere and am suddenly suspended without warning, I will make all note about it via my twitter account which is my other most relevant account online. My twitter account is: https://twitter.com/Borin231

I am still feeling better in most ways, which is a very fortunate thing, although I do still feel these issues and these bouts of illness do remain here and there. Unfortunately, visits to the hospital had left me with a rather large number of bills. I would like to take on commissions again, but I am still not sure about if my health and my focus are at a good level yet. I may need to consider if I will be able to go on this trip next month that I had initially planned for. I will continue to write and work on stories for fun here, but I would like to soon enough take some kind of commission work. I will need to make sure to attend to my obligations first. Thank you all again for continuing to be supportive and enjoying my work. I am always happy to get to work on writing. It has always been something I've enjoyed doing.

(DA's formatting for journals is messed up, clumping the whole thing together as one large, unfinished block of text. You have to open up the full journal to see the entire thing.) Since I will be busy with an important move that will not only take me across the country but also require me disposing of a lot of of my property, it will take me some time to accomplish everything, so I would not be able to comfortably focus on further comms until a more appropriate time arises. A very good friend of mine who has helped me out plenty of times, : https://www.deviantart.com/benji-blacksky, is currently available for commissions too and has a lot of experience with WG and more, so you can also consider asking him for his rates as well. As stated in my recent status update, I will take a break for some time now that I have finished the majority of my current commission queue. I need the time off to not only work on some important tasks, which includes a very special project I had put off too long, and also numerous stories that I would like to eventually post on here too. I'd like to still be able to continue to write about the big girls as much as I can. There will of course be more Fire Emblem, but I hope to try to write some more of characters from popular series I haven't touched upon yet or even try to get for more niche things too. Original works are also something worth pushing for, as they'd be much easier for anyone to read without prior knowledge. I need to focus on the bigger projects foremost, but I will still want to make some time to provide new works on here too.
