Yup. Plus it adds extra pressure to her decision making if the entire mercommunity is suddenly involved and giving their two cents. Then you get the rush of people who want to get an order in because they're scared she won't take any, and people who will out right be super selfish and mad. And she just does NOT need any of that when she's in a state of trying to decide how and if she wants to move forward with this aspect of her company.

So to clarify, Raven was discussing the possibility with her friends, this is not a decision, it's not an announcement, it's not an omg Raven isn't going to make tails anymore after ____. This was a personal conversation taken a bit out of context. Nothing really changes, Raven already only takes orders when she's able to, unlike other tail makers who just take orders 24/7. So just keep watching her page for announcements for if/when she'll take orders.

Can you believe this is a BASIC tail!!! o_O looks better than many of the super expensive tails I've seen out there!

@ Raina, I deleted my post and i apologize to all of you, girls, for this mistake. Right now, i'm feeling really bad and stupid for confusing her personal page with her professional one. I admit that i didn't think through because i was shocked. I also apologized to Raven and i told her that my intentions weren't bad. I didn't mean to upset any of you, especially her.

This merman need some tail slaps and a good kick in the butt.

It happens Frenchy. People get confused.

In the meantime, here are some more photos!

That blue ring! Gah! Just so cute!!! ♥♥ That's exactly the top I'd want. :3 He's so adorable! ^_^

Man, her basic tails... other than price And options, it is hard to tell the difference! They are all so amazing.

I hope she doesn't 100% quit, but she deserves a break. :-) Perhaps finish off current orders, take a break and start fresh? I don't know what the original post had said. :-( So my context is a little skewed.

Hope things are well with her!

[Blondie]

Oh it's okay Arion! I would have gotten scared too and probably would have to talk to someone about it. *patpat* No harm done.

This airbrush job is amazing!

[Merley]

I can't believe that's a basic. When I was first stalking her page I didn't know the difference between the basics and the pro tails either. They all look so amazing. I thought if I ever got one it'd be a basic and I'd be the happiest girl alive but my friend is the biggest sweetheart in the world and told me to snatch up the pro spot when it was available. So much <3 for him.

[Mermaid Kalliope]

Other than neoprene and lack of extra fins, I don't think there is a differences between the two.

[Mer-Crazy]

Haha Well, of course, Raina! You were first. :-P I'm shooting for second? Maybe third?

Haha

My tail was 230 roughly, before postage lol.

Raina- How long did you have to wait for yours?

**Also sorry for the kinda late reply to that, I was at a convention and didn't see the next page lol.

[AniaR]

A year. Lol but I knew it would be a long time getting into it because raven had to acquire all the tools, materials, and skills. She also went through a lot of change and personal stuff.

Wow! A year, but an understandable year..

240?! Wowee!! What was the delay?

[Marlin]

At least you guys have orders in. Can't wait until she is able to take them again.

Feels like I am waiting in line, to wait in line. But still, worth the wait for something like this.

[Mer-Crazy]

There never really was any explanation, the only thing I can assume was something went wrong because Ariel Starfish's tail was ordered after mine, and had the seams redone and still went out first and Phoenix mermaid also ordered after her, and we got ours at the same time. I really didn't mind the waiting though, it's art and you can't rush art. Raven also got sick a lot and went out for performances during my tail construction, so that set it back a fair bit.

[AniaR]

guys that was exactly the time I was posting a play by play off all the reasons the orders in that time frame were delayed... lol I even made a new FAQ for them to cover it.

[Mermaid Kalliope]

Edit: Sorry! I didn't see Raina's post! The reason I asked was because there were other mers getting updates and tails who ordered after. Again, sorry!

That's strange. Haha Well, at least I know why mine is taking a while. XP

Just swimming around, waiting for updates. Heehee

[Mermaid Kalliope]

Got an update! It's the dreaded "does the colour look right" update. >< I knew it was coming!

Colours look great, minor tweaking. She's waiting on something and then hopefully my tail will be done this week! *squeals* Yay! Oh goodness this is exciting!

[AniaR]

yaaaay so excited for you

[Mermaid Lorelei]

Eeee! Excitement!
