Don't put all your eggs in the same basket, save refs to your HD/alt site.
Most of it is common sense peoples ;3

FA is not the only place that has a furry community, yes it may be the biggest but that don't mean it's the only place you can get work.
Kihu even made a tutorial/guide for getting more clients via other sites: http://kihuotter.tumblr.com/post/100216158296/since-youve-made-a-successful-leap-from-fa-and-onto

Again, it's worth it in the long run to branch out to other sites, hard work but worth it.
At least if you're an artist that lives off art.

AS FOR MYSELF! I am just about done with NDP art an will be moving to owed arts slowly.
Work has stock-take coming up an it's a fucking bitch ugh!
Nov is my bday month an Dec is Christmas NEED I REMIND YOU RETAIL IS HELL THIS TIME OF YEAR!
I wont be taking any more work art till end of Jan unless stated otherwise/need the monies.
Any art that will be uploaded would be personal/vent art most likely.. I have a con to attend in Jan so I will be pretty absent till next year.

SO RECAP:
Oct will be getting owed art/paid art out of the way
Nov will be relaxing an personal projects/whatever I wanna do, maybe some giftart or small commishs
Dec will be retail, retail, retail
Jan will be con prep an vacation times
Feb will be hopefully taking more commissions
