Too perfect @_@ do you think she'd accept my soul as payment? ;~;

You kids today; back in my day we sold our voice to get the chance of having a soul, and the sea witches were happy to have them! You dang young fish just don't appreciate souls anymore....

That is not to say that, if any mermaid tail were worth someone's soul, the Lunar Koi wouldn't be a fine candidate! Raven can really draw, and that fluke feels almost like a bridal veil (suddenly my koi fluke doesn't seem quite as big anymore, but hopefully it won't be too far from that size...maybe...lol)! In fact, considering Raven's promise to "spoil" the winner, I hope she is fussed over like a mer-bride or mer-princess!

ill be honest here..... I choked on my coconut water and it almost shot out my nose when I read this lol

[MermaidMichelle]

Hrmph; well at least you young fish appreciate a bit of proper humour now and then. Merci beaucoup!

Just got a photo update from Raven of my constructed tail awaiting paint. It is in black and white but I'm still astounded and amazed how beautiful it is. Since it isn't yet done, the photo isn't watermarked, and Raven agreed to do something special for my tail she's not previously made available I don't want to reveal it until it is entirely finished. I am super excited! Can't wait to share it with y'all!

[Vicky Mermaid]

Ohh wauw that is so cool! I am also waiting for that update! So excited for you!

For the mers waiting on their tails... When did u order? I'm trying to make some sorth of list in my head who is where etc and can keep track of everything I know... I have nothing else to do at the moment xD lol my order was made mid october.

Mine was 4/10/14. It is a little tricky trying to figure out your place in production. It doesn't appear to be strictly linear; simpler tails ordered later may be completed sooner (which makes perfect sense, but can be confusing when you are trying to figure out your timeline).

Early August mines going to begin construction soon hopefully

I ordered June first, I got an email today that my tail is being shipped today or tommarrow!!!! Yah so excited!!!!!

September 2014 for mine

[MermaidMichelle]

Can we get a February 8th, 2014 for me?

The fact is that polyhymnia is quite right; mine apparently is a very special tail and thus I am happy to wait as Raven is doing her best (which is, needless to say, amazing) with the molding en ce moment!

[Vicky Mermaid]

Yup that is true. I ordered and payed mine 26 may. And Raven told me 2 weeks ago that it was almost finished being build. As soon it is ready for primer and paint she would send me picture updates. I'm checking my email several times a day. The longer it takes... The harder it gets!

[Ariel-Starfish]

thanks everyone! So I'm thinking it takes about (roughly /and how detailed the design is) 8 months to 'wait' for a tail. Do you have any tips on making the wait less hard? i'm checking my countdown almost every day xD lol haha

[Mermaidmechanic]

Start gathering mer-cessories and putting together full outfits for your mersona!

[Kaila Mermaid]

Shimmygoddess's ex-top is paid in full and I'm currently awaiting it ^_^. Will my order fall in behind custom orders and be sent accordingly? Or will mine be shipped sooner since it was already complete when I bought it?

I actually try not to think about it as much as possible. STOP checking your countdown and your email and all that jazz and occupy your mind with other things until you find the tail needs your attention again e.g you think of a question to ask Raven etc. You'll find the time passes more quickly when you're not actively waiting for it.

[AniaR]

ditto. I tried not to think about it at all I even forgot a few times. It helped a lot

[annika]

i was pretty fine until about day 175 then i really started focusing more and more on it and by day 220 it was all i could think about all the time. but i agree with mermaid mechanic i made tons of accessories while i waited!

[MermaidMichelle]

I agree with Selene and Raina; I was on a serious mermaid kick (no pun intended) from my receiving The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition up until March 29th of 2014, but then it left me as I poured my efforts into Why God Doesn't Hate You's thrilling and somewhat-dangerous campaign.

One doesn't need to stop being a mermaid in the meantime, of course. As the regulars know I had a lot of fun here on Mernetwork during that time and made some wonderful new fishy friends!

[Vicky Mermaid]

I'm thinking About where to swim and when. Thinking about new photoshoots. Hmmm cant wait!!!
