Hey folks I try not to post too much of raven's personal life etc in the forum but for those waiting on updates, just wanted to let you know Raven is coping with two unexpected close family member deaths within a week of each other right now, and a beloved pet (also unexpected). Her husband is working with his performance company right now so she is on her own managing things and also trying to cope with all this bad stuff. She also have to travel for a bit for one of the funerals.

So don't be surprised if updates seems a little slow since her husband usually manages the email/messaging/fb posting side of things.

Hey guys,
I used to have and account but i lost that email and password and all the good stuff so here I am again. I'll probably do a intro soon (again).

Anyways, I'm so excited that raven shared this top, it was one she custom made for my design and has been ready for a while but I was waiting for my tail to be done to show the set but yeah... I'm super excited and I love the design, she took inspiratio from the series but also coral and wet sand. I think its just perfect!

[Mer-Crazy]

That is so exciting! I can't wait to see it, I love the design of your top <3

It's my day 100 since I ordered! I'm so glad this 'support group' is here! LOL I get my fix from you guys talking about your tails and seeing new tails and updates come out.

Who all has tails on the docket right now? I know a couple people are at just over a year. Any guesses on who's tail comes out next?

[Sitre Seer Moroaica]

I got an email from Tyler on the 13th saying he wants to ship it out this week and to reply ASAP with my address. Still waiting for the shipping quote lol

[frozenbutterflywings]

585 here, but I'm coping.

Edit: I have an app on my phone the counts how many days it's been since I ordered in case I get curious and don't want to math. I don't math after 3 pm... it's a rule. *nods sagely*

[Mizuko]

I'm on around 583 too Im holding out hope I'll get it by November for the Aussie Mercon, but we'll see ^_^
loving the tail posted online for sale! <3

[Sitre Seer Moroaica]

Well my anxiousness and impatience is rising haha I'm so very, very close to getting my tail and I'm trying really hard to wait it out. Tyler wanted to send my tail last week which I figured wouldn't happen but I got my hopes up >.< From how our conversations have been going it should be another 1 to 2 weeks before I receive it..3 weeks at tops if they get a little busy. I've been doing so good up until now and its not helping me that I've been looking at all these mermaid photos AND I'll be moving into a brand new complex with an indoor Olympic sized pool. Rawr is what I say rawr! haha

[AniaR]

the end is ALWAYS the worst. nail biting

[Sitre Seer Moroaica]

You can say that again haha

I can see the end being the worst, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and you're almost there!!!! Can't wait to see it!

So Last November when I visited Florida I dropped off my very well used seaweed top and octo top. I had bought them used, and now they were filled with mold, all their accents fallen off, and the bras rotting. (YEARS of constant water use)

So Raven promised to remake them for me, taking the silicone off, cleaning it up, putting on new bra bases, new paint, new accents!

She just sent me photos of the remade seaweed top, I wish i took before photos so you could see how bad it was!



she's still going to remake the octopus top. I also bought a used she creature top that had been made for 2016s weeki calendar and worn with the tail I now own, and a used head dress so those will all come together and I'll have photos of all of them.

It's perfectly timed be because my current tops are getting worn out and they need a break so we can either fix them up or send them to be remade and get another time.

I may be visiting Florida in March and only IF she can find time, she may replace my blended waist. It's still holding up but I have torn it many times and repaired it that the seams from where I repaired it keep getting mold. If she has time she may touch up some scuffs on my knees that I got from working mermaid school. But Only if it makes sense in her schedule and when I visit. Don't wanna mess up anyone else's wait time

[Sitre Seer Moroaica]

That's great to hear Raina! And at least her products are being well used. If I was a creator I would enjoy that factor haha The seaweed top looks gorgeous though *.*

I just got an email from Tyler saying he'll be shipping my tail out tomorrow. They usually give out the tracking number correct?

[AniaR]

sometimes when they are busy they forget the tracking number lol I woudlnt stress. but he probably will remember to send it, if not just remind him
