Updates & a Happy Chinese New Year's to you!
Posted a year agoHello hello everyone!! Happy Chinese Near Years! Happy Year of the Rabbit or Happy Vietnamese New Years of the Cat for those of you out there. I hope everyone is celebrating in the very best way they love! Be it sitting at home finishing a book with your cat or out partying or eating food with your family. <3 I hope it's a great and bright time for you. ^w^
I figured I'd also give an update on my life as I tend to do with these. Right now things are going pretty well. It's taken an aweful long time to pull up out of this roller coaster of a slump I've been in and out of. As you've likely noticed I've not been as active with my posts as I really want to be here. And since it's prolonged this long I decided to sit down with myself and really evaluate Why. Which is something I also think you all deserve to know.
For those of you that have been reading or following my content you probably know that I focus on Writing & Quality. I focus on maintaining a diverse gallery that is pleasing to witness but is also rich with lore and character details spread threw out their lives. To do this to the standard I hold myself requires a significant amount of time for me. Sometimes hours. It's something I enjoy but it's also sorta spotty, it's not the same as sitting down to write a story or a DnD game or to world build. And it also comes in bursts where you are able to communicate well with your character and get really good lore for them out. Or were you can't hear a character or just aren't focused ones you want to put art up of. As of this New Year, I've found myself on delving into more deep lore, stories in full/worlds well fleshed and the boundless sense of adventure and freedom that usually tries to come and sweep me up. I admit, because of various conditions out of my hands I got whacked down pretty hard from that rise. And now it's something of a fight up. But the spirit of it still is beating in me hard and I'd like the freedom to embrace it.
it short, this means that though I am still buying art I do not have as much time to post art here on FA. My art and characters inspire me and so I've been doing more detailed writings off site. I've actually just started my very own Choose Your Own Adventure. It's nowhere near done, but I am very excited for it!! ^w^
I am still in love with the characters I've gotten and the artwork for them. But because FA single post format and all the extra work that goes into each makes writing their stories kinda Chunky. And I'm really looking to do some more fluid deeper work for my lovelies right now. I'm sure I'll have nights like tonight where I am more willing to able to post work. But that's the summ up of where I am and why things have slowed down. I've moved my writing to are more story-based location and am lacking the time to do both posts and the writing I want to accomplish. So posts are taking a back seat right now.
I hope everyone is okay with that. And I hope everyone is doing well with their own goals, personal and character adventures!! : D

Happy New Years!! ^w^!!
Posted a year agoHey everyone! I hope you are having a splendid evening, morning, noon or night. And if not I hope that this year brings you better tidings. I'm here wishing everyone a happy New Years! So HAPPY NEW YEARS! ^W^
If you've made a resolution, I hope you make it threw! <3
Mine's pretty simple. I'm hoping to make a cup, just one cup, of Klah.
Klah is a beverage from the Dragon Rider's of Pern Series. And it's something like a bitter and sweet spiced mocha. It's made of dark chocolate powder, milk choclate powder and instant coffee, nutmeg and cinnamon. Though you are welcome to put your own spin on it or add things you may like.
Here's the recipe if you'd like to make your own. Or see below. I'm happy to share with you. <3
https://www.food.com/recipe/klah-67812
Mix together:
2 tablespoons sweet ground chocolate
1/2 cup dark cocoa
3/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon dark instant coffee crystals, ground to powder
a small pinch of nutmeg
Use two to four teaspoons of the mixture per cup of boiling water. Stir well. The klah should be thick, much like hot cocoa.

Having Upload issues! (Looking for Help/Feedback thank yo...
Posted a year agoHello everyone, I am having some trouble with doing uploads recently and it's making things very difficult for me to post. I've tried googling help/answer but come up with nothing so far. I am rather bad at navigating the help forum so I'd really love feedback or any aid or thoughts that can be provided. I don't know if it's just a me thing or if it's a site issue, so I am not sure which course of action to take.
Here is the Issue:
Whenever I go to upload before I can fully write my rather nice posts the site freezes. Freezes completely. I can't copy over my posts. I can't save the information I've put in. I have to completely shut down the tab. It's very frustrating and means I'm having to pre-write all my posts on a document and then very quickly paste them into the upload area, filling out the other categories of tags in a rush.
Does anyone Know why this is happening? Or how to fix it?

Addressing my Absence! : 3
Posted a year agoHello all of you my fellow artists, rpers, viewers and so forth! <3 I want to personally thank all of you for clicking on my little journal today as I know I don't put out very many of them. It's been a good month since I posted anything, and I thought I would give you a heads up on my life and future of my account.
Don't worry! I'm not going anywhere. Winter is a season of relaxation, quiet, calm and rejuvenation for me. And as such I've been spending some time away from my gallery. I DO love my uploading, stories and lore expansion as well as showing everyone new characters, new art and reading all your comments and support. But uploading is a long process for me with some of them taking upwards of twenty or more minutes. It takes a while to synergize with an artwork in order to give it it's justified content, as well as to make sure I have credited my artist appropriately. Sometimes my entries are even poetic or give you a deep dive into a character's life and that too take more energy and time. Given that Winter is my low season as far as energy output, I suppose the break Erika mentioned she was going to take over the season as has been something of mine as well. This winter in particular has brought me numerous hardships so it has not been as restful as I hoped, and it's thus taken me longer to recover.
As the season rolls on and we slip closer to Yule, the smell of the air catches me up in its cold crispness and the feeling of pine sap runs through my veins. I tend to be more energetic then. But last month was my birth month and I tend to just try and relax when I get home because work is usually so hectic. With this new month beginning I'm aiming to post some of the content I've had sitting and waiting. I do hope to get back to you all soon. And I am still buying art here and there, time to time. I appreciate your waiting, your love and your time tonight ,today ,this evening or whenever and wherever you may be right now.
Sincerely and with Love, TrashCat14 <3

Going on Hiatus 7/17
Posted a year agoJust a quick notice to all my friends and followers who enjoy my stories, uploads or company here on this site we share. <3
For the coming future I am going to take a step back from FA. Not forever or completely. I'm just finding I don't quite have the energy to maintain my page like I would like, and I need a recharge. I am unlikely to leave the site completely and I have a lot of art saved that I have not gotten to upload. That is part of the reason I am taking this break. I may resume buying a piece of art here or there and do a couple uploads from time to time when I feel the energy.
I also do have a short list of artists whose work I already have plans to buy and just haven't had the OMph I need to put in commissions for. For those of you who know you are. I still very much plan to buy from you, I will get there as the strength to finds me and I am a little less overwhelmed.
For the rest of you amazing artists whom I adore! If you no longer see me faving your work or making purchases, it is not because I have fallen out of love with your creative style or because I think anything is lacking in your work. I am just taking a break. <3 So I can give more love to what I buy.
