Update: Okay, so... the house hasn't sold. Long and short of it is that the original realtor that we hired wasn't doing shitall to sell the old house and now we're stuck with Yet Another(tm) mortgage payment. Tiniest hawkling hasn't been sleeping through the night and I'm still exhausted. That said... I've been working incredibly hard on putting out October bots. I joined a few collabs that should make their appearance. But In all honesty, I might have to pull some of the Kinktober bots in order to survive the month. Important to note: I'm not planning on removing any of the CoD bots, but they may be delayed later than their date.

I filled my plate expecting myself to have much more time than I'm discovering I may actually have.

It also doesn't help that New House has pocket doors and I slammed my finger in it when it caught the track wrong and now I'm suffering from ouchy finger (thankfully not broken) because it crushed my wedding ring and that needed to be cut off of my whole finger in the ER. My typing is slow and speech dictation software still has a long way to go if it wants to be nice to people with anything other than a North Eastern US accent. Hooray for me.

tldr;
I hurt myself, didn't sell my house, my youngest is fussy, and I'm still tired. Brace yourselves, bots may be late.

Hey, tiny announcement from your increasingly tired neighborhood Hawk. 🦅

First: I am very happy to take COD ideas and requests. I genuinely enjoy seeing what you guys come up with, and some of those requests absolutely will make their way onto my list.

However:

Requests are not guaranteed.

Even paid requests are not guaranteed. Obviously, if I accept payment and ultimately can't/won't fulfill the request, I'm returning your money. I'm not holding your cash hostage in a tiny little vault guarded by Ghost.

The reason is pretty simple:

I'm particular about what I write.

I like keeping my characters as close to their provided material, whether that's games, comics, established lore, etc., as I reasonably can. That's why I generally don't write major AUs or extreme character/faction mashups where you're suddenly running into Dragonrider Gaz, King Price, or Ghost × König living happily ever after while three other factions are somehow involved in the relationship.

That's not me saying those ideas are bad. They're just not what I write.

I've said this before on my old profile and here, but I'm still receiving repeated requests for increasingly elaborate crossovers involving multiple factions, characters, pregnancies, love triangles, love octopi, and dynamics I sometimes have no personal frame of reference for.

And then I'm getting:

"Why haven't you done my request yet?"

My friend.

I have an entire Kinktober planned.

I'm selling a house.

I'm still moving my old stuff over.

I'm maintaining my main account and participating in/running collabs.

And I'm raising four tiny squadmates who operate with approximately the discipline and survival instincts of baby raccoons. They are smaller versions of me. This explains everything and nothing.

I'm exhausted. 😂

So please understand: the more you repeatedly message me across multiple forms of contact asking when I'm going to make your request, the less enthusiastic I become about making it.

Especially when the request is something that would honestly work better as a personal sandbox scenario.

If what you want is three different factions simultaneously in love with/pregnant by/fighting over {{user}} in an increasingly geometrically concerning relationship configuration?

That is a sandbox prompt.

Go nuts. Make Price regret forming Task Force 141. I believe in you.

It is not, however, a reason to chase a creator across three different forms of contact because they haven't personally built it for you.

Now, for everyone this doesn't apply to:

If you've sent me a request and have been patiently waiting, I haven't forgotten you. I'm working through them.

Things are simply going to move more slowly for a while because I have a lot on my plate right now.

I adore you guys. I love seeing your ideas, reading your comments, and making ridiculous little military men live in our phones.

Just bear with me while I get through this particularly chaotic stretch.

And please remember:

Requests are requests. They're not assignments. 🦅

This is actually a bot. Free sandbox with Hawk included.
