*Cough*
Now that I've got your attention...
There will be some major changes to this book.
The cover will be replaced.
The chapters will be reorganized.
Old adopts that have been unadopted for a while will be put in a recent chapter, sort of like a "clearing of stock" sale.
And, more importantly, the rules are going to be completely redone.
In fact, I'm putting a major one in place right now:

For OTA adopts, you will be given one week to complete the offer per payment item, unless discussed otherwise.
e.g:
User321 wants to adopt an OTA unicorn from Kiwi_Crossing6.

User321 offers one headshot drawing of and OC and one full-body drawing of an OC to Kiwi_Crossing6 as payment for the unicorn.

Kiwi_Crossing6 accepts the offer.

Because User321 offered two drawings, User321 has two weeks to complete the payment.

If NamelessBop offered four basefills, then NamelessBop would have four weeks to complete the basefills and hand them in.

You get the idea?

If you do not complete the offer within the time given, you do not get the adopt, and you may not adopt anything else from the next chapter put out. Full stop.

The adopt is ONLY YOURS IF YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE REQUIREMENTS- THIS APPLIES TO ALL FORMS OF ADOPTABLES. IF I CATCH YOU USING AN ADOPT THAT IS NOT YOURS, I WILL FIRST RALLY SOME PEOPLE TO COME AND LECTURE YOU, AND THEN BLOCK YOU. It is indeed harsh, but I am sick and tired of thieves on this platform, and the only way to shut them down seems to be catching them red-handed at the start.

By the way, who's that guy in the collage at the top? Wrong answers only. Anyone who replies gets a free Wings of Fire basefill headshot. Don't mind me being obsessed with The Bad Batch, Star Wars and Loki are the only things I can think about right now, leave me be.

If you need more time to complete an OTA, because maybe you have exams/finals that week, or maybe your laptop broke and you can't make the payments on your phone, or maybe your grandma is sick and you need to be with her, or anything that might hold you up, then please don't hesitate to tell me! Even if you just need a day or two's extension, I can do that for you. I know what it's like to be busy- Saturday afternoons and sometimes Sundays are the only times I really get to relax now, I have to do all my personal stuff in whatever free moments in-between things I can get, so I get it. Life is chaotic sometimes. Just like this book right now.

Which brings me smoothly to the end of this author's note. Thanks for reading. Love you all (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
