UPDATES - 4/15
Hello everyone!
I hope you all have been well. The weather has been so horribly moody that it's making ME moody. Anywho, some updates!
Update on Orders
Orders have been coming out slowly because in the last two weeks, I had two deaths and their funerals. Before this, I had been helping clients with complex issues that had been draining my energetic, spiritual, mental, and magickal resources without me realizing it, putting me in near constant powered down or rest and recuperate mode. Now that I am keenly aware of it, I am keeping better track of my personal energy and what is intersecting me. Things are going blazing fast and I am almost caught up.
I WILL note there are a few stragglers scattered around that I need to get to. Most notably, a small batch of orders at the end of 2022 and beginning 2023 with one or two in other places. I WILL get to you, but you may absolutely poke me if you are at all concerned. As I've said before, 2023 was a horrid year and I was simply not functioning. I am catching up on all that now.
A Change in How I Handle My Queue
So, to make everyone aware, I've changed my process and have been fulfilling orders based on resonance and where the magickal/mystical draw is. Common logic states work should be done in numerical order, but magickal instinct states, go with the power to achieve optimal results.
I used to work on orders, IN order, and would stress myself out if I went out of order. (Almost to the point of a panic attack, I would freak). Sometimes Immortals and Conjurations would not cooperate and the entire queue would be stalled. This has been the DEFINING issue of my shop. I'd sit on my hands for a lot longer than I'd like to admit, waiting for things to move.
I have left this practice (far, faaaar) behind. Things have been working much better as I approach whichever order feels best according to my energy and mood, resulting in phenomenal conjurations. I'm slowly making my way toward my ideal completion time of a week per simple order, three weeks and up for more complex orders. I'm not there yet, but that is my target zone.
Realms
I will shortly begin working with Realms (YES REALLY) so if you are waiting on any, puh-LEASE get in touch with me. You guys have been waiting awhile, and I so so appreciate your patience and apologize for not having them out much sooner. It's been so long that priority goes to people I know I don't have to hunt down, as some emails are likely to have gone defunct and it is possible people have passed away.
Realms that have been around for awhile are going to be upgraded, or rather, allowed to fill out and reflect the years of growth they would have accumulated. However, their write-ups might be brief, mostly to ensure I don't overload myself in exploring and describing them (which would cause havoc all over my queue, and then we'll be repeating history). I do not have an ETA, unfortunately. They go out when they go out, but as an apology to how poorly this has been handled, I will be offering credit.
After the realms go out, I will be handling my poorly aged winnings queue. Do not contact me about winnings just yet, but I will let you know when you can.
New Listings
Keep your eyes on the new listings post! There has been quite the backlog of new listings, and I'm finally getting them up. Ideally, I will have a "New Listings" post each month to catalogue what is new. This includes Conjurations and PreConjureds.
And I thiiiink that's it. Thank you all for reading, and have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Azure~
PS: CHANGED THE SHOP BACKGROUND AND COLORS! WEE! Please let me know if anything is unreadable!
