    What Seavanna said.

    I really really hope you get over the "new tailmaker" stadium without drama, because your designs are unique to the market.
    Be confident but not cocky.

    I have to say too, that your ordering documents look really professional.

It has happened SO many times and reading the threads can bring tears to your eyes. People's entire savings were wiped out, all their mermaid dreams destroyed... We have seen some REALLY bad stuff happen in this community. There are a few people--Pearlie Mae is really the only example I can think of--who spent SO long documenting every step of their tail making journeys over multiple years (including the many, many failures that happened to them) that people are more trusting of. But her tail making process was something like two years long and she ran into tons of problems that she fixed. Problems that would have happened to a client's tail had she taken orders within just a few months. It's not you personally that people are referring to, it's just a general fear because of all the scars of what has happened before. We WANT you to succeed and we have seen other people fail badly because they moved too soon on selling tails, ruining their reputations forever. One bad review is more powerful than ten good reviews. So please, don't take any of the comments personally. We just don't want to see anymore sad happenings and want to try and protect both tailmakers and buyers. You absolutely deserve a chance... But unfortunately because of what has happened in the past it would help your business times a thousand to make a few more tails before selling them, if nothing else than for the comfort of your target niche who has been sooo badly hurt before.
    ^This. I didn't mean for it to come out hurtful, just thinking from a business and marketing standpoint. Heck, (and I'd hate to use this as an example) even Jesse made a free tail for Raina to work out the kinks for potential clients before he started selling tails to customers. In the end, he took too many orders, mixed business and personal accounts, didn't follow up with customers, amongst a myriad of rookie business mistakes which led to his undoing. We don't want you to go in the same direction, for your sake and for the customers' sakes.

    Is it weird that the very idea I could be on a list with Finfolk and Merbellas is making so excited I'm nauseous right now?



    But to answer your question, I'll be taking tail orders for at least the next 3-6 months as I figure out if I can turn it into a sustainable business.

    Those fins are so cute! They look so delicate and freshwater-y.
