It's around that time, while I'm not sure whether or not I'm doing it this year, here's my AF page:

Mind the cobwebs, still haven't updated my characters & their refs

On being unsure. I just graduated college 🎉! & while I'm so far avoiding the post-college-crash I might want to use the summer for life things, like working on my license, job hunting, commissions (which running during AF is against community etiquette). That could also mean limiting or not doing Artfight this year to make sure I have time for that.

I also think it's important to acknowledge some information that's come out about AF itself (Notably, mod negligence & favoritism issues). While it hasn't completely deterred me yet (for reasons below), it's left a bad taste in my mouth & is part of why I'm a bit wary this time. (thread with more info)

I'm still considering as for me it's been one of the highlights of my summers & a great excuse to keep me motivated/not completely crash and test the skills I've picked up over the year (casual art trades are also a big plus). So while there's things i'm wary of, I still would like to participate (regular art trades/comms/etc. are hard to come by during July afterall). I'm basing whether or not I'll join on how many people I know are joining, as well as any other issues with AF that might pop-up

That being said, here's a few notes for this year

• Participating or not, Keep in mind I might be slower with my attacks! I have a lot to pull together in terms of life things & other projects. So I don't want to stretch myself too thin.
• This year I'm still looking out for Megaman FCs (& megaman-esque characters)
