Hello, dedicated journal-readers of mine! (this isn't too difficult to achieve, considering how infrequently these appear) I should update at least half a year, eh?

Cutting to the chase: unfortunately this update is not to announce a return, but departure. Temporarily, anyway - I'll be overseas or otherwise occupied for the next two weeks, so commishes and notes and general correspondence will be on hold 'til I get back. The two weeks thereafter will be pretty packed too, but we'll see about that.

Also, thanks for 20k, y'all. This new record was marked by a barrage of notespam from (by the time I got to them, anyway) banned deviants proclaiming endless love and adoration and providing suspicious links, etc. You guys been getting those lately too?
