...and take a notebook out, write down who needs what, and get started on some of it tonight. But now I've written everyone down and what they need and I feel too overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of what needs doing, that I have no more will to do it right now. headdesk

I need to do 16 profiles. I need to draw at least 39 pieces of art. And I need at least one overlay.

The profiles I can maybe do myself. I have permission to use the coding from the finished ones that someone else did and add in my own or someone else's graphics/art. But my biggest problem with that is no longer being able to use Paint.NET on my new computer. I used to have a crappy PC and now I have a beautiful Mac and this is the ONLY downside to upgrading.

The art I'm going to draw myself, at least one piece for each pet. I'd like to commission some others too, but money.

The overlay will need to be commissioned, as it's pretty much beyond my own abilities. But again, money.

Why do I do this to myself? I should adopt a pet, finish it, and then get another one. Not ADOPT ADOPT ADOPT and then in the middle of that REWORK REWORK REWORK. I think this site has made me mentally unstable. Or, you know, more mentally unstable.

So what pet-related crap are you procrastinating on atm?

I'm procrastinating my profiles pretty much 100% and focusing on my TC right now. I have ideas for profiles, but I would love to learn how to do the coding myself. I've been doing these online workshop things on CSS here and there but I still don't know what I'm doing lol. I can do the art myself at some point. But it's easier to to focus on my TC for now and tell myself I'll do the profiles once that's done.

Thankfully, I only have 12 pets right now and hopefully I can start working before I adopt more.

[edit] Wow, you have some awesome pets! Keli, Dubhdarra, Paramani, Corey ... Did you know Dubhdarra & Correy have broken images on their profiles? Thought I'd mention because I saw they were nominated for the spotlight.

MOST of my Pets still need stories, even ones I own for YEARS. MOST of my Pets still need a Profile, even ones I own for YEARS.

But I absolutely can't come up with any idea for most of them, creativity is below 0 for both story and Profile - and the sad thing is, in most cases (not all) I don't care at all about this.

Yeah, the broken images were cute little animated things, but I've not had a chance to redo those yet either. ^^;;; But thanks for the compliment on the pets! When I can be arsed to work on them, I do a pretty good job I think, lmao.

i have zero permanent profiles, zero treasure chests and zero art

l-o-l

please take my pets away from me

I keep making pets. But never finishing any profiles. Ever.

Right now, I have to make... 9 overlays, 7 profiles, 11 stories... and those are all just the higher-priority pets. 5 of those are original characters that need art, not including their hand-drawn overlays.

And I'm in a constant state of making treasure chests; I think I can only really say I'm safely "done" with Genocidal's and maybe The Undying's. But even then, if items come out that are perfect for them, WHOOPS HERE WE GO AGAIN.

Yeah. I'm really enthusiastic about pet development, but I have no time or energy to do everything I want to do. I recently made a huge update for a project I work on elsewhere, though, so maybe I'll crank something out before classes start again for me. :')

I have a handful of pets that actually have something going on beyond just song lyrics. If I feel like putting lyrics they're mostly just for when someone stumbles on my pet(s) it looks like I have ideas. Not sure if that works.

heeey! You never did my art request! gives you cold shoulder

I know what you mean, honestly. Mazikeen just got art and now I'm waiting on a profile to be made. I have Starlyn who's waiting for art and then I need a profile.

I also need art and profiles for Asko, Evalise, Andrina, Dorin and Taiva. sigh So expensive. Everyone is only taking CSC/USD.

So far, the rest of my pets are gonna stay pets lol.

P.S. Zinna had a story, but I lost it. She also has art done.

Oh Christ, I didn't even think about stories. headdeskcrying

What was it? I had a notebook that I wrote my requests in and it went POOF. As in one of my cats knocked it somewhere, lol.

It's probably the easiest thing for me out of anything pet-related, but I'm still running into blocks when it comes to style, perspective, and whatnot involving some pets. Condensing really long backstories is an issue I'm hitting with some of my really developed characters, too!

Sometimes it's easy enough, and I have a great idea of what narrative I'll use, but all the ones that don't have stories? Either 1. no inspiration right now, call back later, or 2. I don't know what direction to take it. Blech.

Too much to do, never enough time to do it.

Haha, you definitely do! :3 It's pet profiles like yours that make me inspired to keep working on mine~

I have maybe 3/4 of my pets done and the rest either have no ideas or half-finished ones.

I have found that working on them one at a time helps. I can focus on just one at a time which means it takes forever, but it also means when I'm done I'm done.

Out of 38 pets. I have 3 Finished. I have a handful who have temp- profiles on. Most TC's are filled thankfully.
I know there's one big profile I was working on, and it broke :/ I may have to scrap it completely to figure out why. But over whelmed, yes I totally know the feeling. I have a spread sheet to try and keep up with who needs what. The biggest is name changes it appears. I am just never satisfied until I get that 'perfect' name for the character, or worse. The perfect birth date.

Profiles needed: 32 Stories needed: 16

Considering that I have 73 Pets I think I'm doing not that bad.

I'm here for six years and I finished almost only one pet....Just one! I just don't have the time to sit down to write stories, earn sP to buy overlays and such so. I do want too but I don't have the inspiration anymore for them as I had before and I have other interests now which aren't here. Still I wouldn't be able to give up Bucky. I'm too attached to him.

I actually have stories for most of my pets, I just need to actually write them, and then learn some coding, find people to draw nice pictures... at least for their TCs I know what they need, so i can buy that slowly...

I own 21 pets, but I also have an open slot just in case.

6 are complete and Spotlight winners, though one of their profiles is now broken so technically I need to get him a new one.

4 pets have no progress whatsoever. 5 pets need to have their stories revamped, either because I'm bored of the idea now or I want to update the writing since younger-me wrote them lol. 14 pets need profiles. I don't do that until I'm completely content with their character/stories/etc because idk how to make profiles myself and I have to commission them. Plus I only really ever have sP as currency on Subeta. 12 needs overlay/art, whichever I decide to do for that particular pet. Two additional pets do have overlays, but I'd like for them to have art as well, so that would make 14 total. I'll probably do most of the art myself but I don't necessarily want to only use my own art for profiles and stuff, you know? And basically all WIP pets need TCs.

Pets are my favorite part about Subeta, but I feel so unmotivated only because of money. I don't personally want to use USD on this site if I can avoid it, but I don't have enough free time to earn the sP equivalent for CSC/USD commissions. I'm trying to when I have free time at work though. I do have some CSC on hand but that's super uncommon for me. I have the tendency to want to work on multiple pets at a time but I may need to prioritize working on a couple favorites and then move on.

Awww.. Don't feel bad. Pets are for fun. To me, they serve as creative outlays whenever I need them to, not project deadlines or something like that (damn I have enough shit like that irl xD). Regardless of profile completion status, they can all just sit there and make me smile.

I barely do anything with my pets - I enjoy them just by them being there.

But I feel bad for taking a name from a video game and then not doing anything with her. In the very least, she could use a profile and a story so she's like the character.

my thoughts exactly!! don't feel guilty about not working on your pets~ ; v ;

... i have the opposite problem lmao i have art and writing for most of my pets but because i'm a horrible perfectionist i don't want to put it up if i think i can do better which happens often |DD
