The System is Down, and what I'm doing... by Yawg

I was going to wait until FA was back up to make this post, but as that might be a long time (and Weasyl is the only game in town at the moment), I'll post this here:

Mid-stream yesterday, my computer exploded. I'm admittedly being a tad overly dramatic when I say this. What really happened was my fan decided to no longer give fucks, at which point my CPU also decided to check out. The good news, I'm surrounded by computer savvy nerd fans who have helped me find the proper replacement fan. The bad news, I live in an area that is noticeably devoid of that replacement computer fan, so I've had to order it.

It could be here by Friday, but perhaps as late as next Wednesday.

I really, really hope my CPU didn't decide to pack it in as well... Because that will take extra time, and extra money I don't have...

On to more bad news, my lady-type Azh has fallen rather ill, and I've spent the day doting on her. Making her hot breakfasts and lunch, making drinks, and watching her cough up phelgm, the likes of which would have inspired HP Lovecraft. So I've been keeping busy.

My point is, I'm stuck without a computer for a week, FA's down for the forseeable future (again), and I have no way of getting the notes and reference material I need for my work.

So, let's do a little mini event here!!


I'll continue the Halloween event here, with a few minor changes:
1) I'll be doing everything traditionally, to be uploaded here and on FA when my computer starts working again.
2) No limits on monster types. Wide open for the rest of this week. Just comment on this journal to claim a spot, and send me a pm with reference (if and when available) and your PayPal address.
3) let me know if you'd prefer to be billed 50% now and 50% on completion, or if you're okay with me billing 100% up front. I'm moderately trustworthy.
4) There's no fourth thing. Once I've crammed more noodle soup down Azh's plegmy gullet I'll start reviewing the notes, and get to work.
5) Again, the monsters are wide open, you can order more than one, and the rating can be everything from G-Rated to 2Spoogy4Me

Happy mid-October everyone!

    Too spoogy? Also, perhaps time to set up an e-mail address and funnel commissions through it.

    • Link

      Yeah... Mebbe that's a better way to do things...

      • Link

        Couldn't hurt, especially if you're doing stuff over multiple sites.

  • Link

    Best of luck with nursing your better half back to health Mr yawg.

    • Link

      My computer, or Azh? Either way, thanks!

  • Link

    Trick or treat... guess life is giving you tricks this halloween :-(

    • Link

      And not the good Las Vegas kind!

  • Link

    It's a nice coincidence how your computer access has been limited just as you need to devote more time to Ahz. I consider that a positive, or at least two negatives partially canceling each other out.

    Okay, I'm going to ask for something that may push the limits of being a "character sheet" -- multiple views of ReNagamon. I'll note you here (if I can figure out how) with details.

  • Link

    I'll be sending you a note. Just have to upload my refs on here first though. @.@

  • Link

    If I can find the refs again, I'll note you too!

  • Link

    Damn... another one with PC problems... I woudn't worry too much about the processor, they have a circuit in which, they turn off when they reach max temp (unless it's not specifien in the BIOS settings, which woudl be rather weird).

    Hopefully, when your fan arives, your problem will be fixed.

    Send hugs to Azh, poor she, nothing that some extra love and good cooking can't solve :3

    Man... this year needs to end soon, it's awful...

      the internet seems to have been under attack. Spent the better half of a week trying to salvage my machine due to a Gen Dropper infection.

      • Link

        That kinda sucks... and yeah, seems there are some new attacks out... That and hardware seems to ask for a short vacation recently, it's like whan had to do a reballing this days...

        I really hope this is fixed, I'm sorry to hear this kind of news... I know that feel too...

      • Link

        I have no idea what that is. Have you tried giving your computer a tick bath? It sounds like something fish get D:

        • Link

          Had to replace HD and Reload OS, internet tools set to 100% pop up blockers, and different Anti-virus

  • Link

    I'd still love to claim another two-character slot for this event. One tall swan vamping it up, one short finch in jailbait costume clinging to her hip. I'm not just compiling references, but trying to draw out some myself.

    • Link

      You should probably send me a note then!

  • Link

    Well.. I had actually taken a spot then canceled it.. But considering your computer issues I feel kinda bad doing so x.x
    If you'd like I could re-commission you via here then?

    • Link

      Well, don't let my woes bully you into something you don't want.
      If you do want Halloween smuttery, by all means, send me a note!
      If you don't, but want to help, consider sending a few bucks to the SPCA or VOKRA! Im reluctant to take donations and charity myself,but I will take your karma!

    • Link

      Starting on yours now!

  • Link

    just had my machine take massive crap but some for where nice to get me back on even a tablet to get out of the 90s so hope things setting in but weasel seems fairly good it at least tells me when your streaming

  • Link

    Don't forget to check for gill slits while nursing her back to health. Also... watch for a lack of color.

  • Link

    Hope Azh feels better soon.
    As for computer, I know your pain. Recently had a Gen dropper virus sneak in and basically made my OS non functional.

  • Link

    Damn buddy, Im so sorry about this happening to U guys, man. Best wishes to Azh and the Best of help on your CPU, Yawg. -CR-

  • Link

    Hope Azh is feeling better soon and hopefully once your fan arrives your computer behaves =p
    You don't do M/M stuff do you?

    • Link

      Ah, no, I'm afraid that's not quite my cuppa tea D:
      Sorry ;_;

      • Link

        Hehe fair enough, there's always Krystal =p

  • Link

    I hadn't seen this before I sent a note. Huh, I wish I could think of something else considering there are now multiple slot openings, but my first idea covers so much ground that anything else would seem like a step back (plus given how it's a more pricy one, I probably wouldn't want to stretch myself too thin I think). yeah I hope it's just the fan, I don't think either of mine work anymore so I just kind of stuck a normal one on top of the heat sink (fortunately the entire aluminum case of a mac-book is a superb heat sink, and since I had to yank out the monitor, that's even less heat).

    anyways do we need to resubmit our commission descriptions if we were scheduled for the next 2 weeks and FA is still down considering you can't check the notes archives anymore?

  • Link

    I'll be on weasyl while FA is down. I'm easy any which way.

    • Link

      YEAH YOU ARE.
