Serious Matters, Commissions, Please Help!

~Let the journal begin~
Alright everyone, I'm having some money issues. Namely, I have until September 27 to come up with $1700, if not more. I need the money to pay for college. My problem is, of course, if I don't come up with the money in time then I can't go back to college. I'm honestly fine with that. Though if I can't make it, I'll probably get kicked out of the house. I don't wanna be homeless! $1700 is the minimum I'd need to get by. For this, I'm once again advertising commissions. Please, everyone, I need this! I don't quite have a place to go yet, either. Here's my current commission info:
Sketches: $10 apiece, flat rate. Both traditional and digital, I rarely do these. I suck, plain and simple. I am practicing of course, but I don't consider this work worthy of commissions. All the same, this is up to you all. Despite it, keep in mind that if you commission one of these, you ARE on a backburner. I'm sorry, but I try to get done what I KNOW I can do first. Not to worry, it will get done!
Digital Inking: $5 apiece, flat rate. This is for those who have a traditional sketch they want converted to a digital form. I make a set of digital lineart, getting as close to the original sketch as I can. If I did a traditional sketch for you and you wanted me to make it digital, I charge $2.

Digital Flat Colour: $10 apiece, standard rate; $15 for comics per-page. Price subject to change depending on the job. This is for those who have lineart and want the colour done. This is what I'm best at, art-wise. I'm happy to take on work for this at any time, and it usually takes priority over sketches. I've been doing a lot of flats for sketches by
fenrir-lunaris, and I hope I can get plenty more to do! If I'm working a pic I did for you, it WILL be $10 for flats.

Traditional Colour: $20 apiece. This is more expensive but I need to pay for the materials somehow. Plus, you know, it's more time-consuming. Still, I'm more than happy to work this!
I do NOT do shading. I can't do it, but when I can, I'll let you all know. It'll be an added step you can choose to have done for a reasonable price.
Writing: $20 per story/chapter. I don't get many takers for this, so I don't really have examples to show for it. But I'm good at writing, or so I've been told on a consistent basis. I'll write up short stories for the listed price, and longer ones will be done at $20 per part. These also take a backburner, mostly because they take me a bit of time to write, and I don't like to rush. Rushing leads to decreased quality. I won't lie, it could be a month or two before you get your story done if you buy one, but I'll do my best not to disappoint!
Alright, everyone. Now for a policy: IF you want me to draw or write about characters that ARE NOT YOURS, I will need permission from the character's owner before I work. If I can't get it, then we will need to discuss something else. I have good faith in all of you, and will take your word if you say I have the permission. HOWEVER, if this becomes a problem, I will start personally checking to make sure I have the permission. Also, I'm usually good to wait until after I finish your commission before taking payment. However, as I get closer to the deadline, I will start taking payment BEFORE working, to be safe about my situation. After all, I can't give you guys your work if I'm homeless! Because of the reason mentioned above, I will ALWAYS take payment for writing commissions before working. I only have two months to raise this money, and since it can take so long before getting a story to you, I can't afford to wait so long to be paid.
Alright, here's all the info plain and simple. I know the economy's rough on everyone, but I need your help to make sure I can stay around. To those who don't want anything but want to give, I thank you for your generosity and will gladly accept donations. Alternatively, if you don't want anything but don't want to or can't send any along for whatever reason, I ask you to please, PLEASE spread word of this. I'm not too well-known, and the more people who can help get the word out, the better.
I take payment through PayPal, if you need the information to send there then please send me a note and I'll give you the information. Also, if you are interested in a commission, feel free to note me or contact me at any of my IMs; they're on the main page for adding. Let me know who you are if you do!
To those who can't pay through PayPal, I also accept checks, money orders and cash through the mail. If you need to know where to send those, note me.
Thanks everyone, I need all the help I can get!

So for you to draw something from scratch would be 25?

It depends how much you'd want done. Just a sketch would be $10, if you have me do digital ink after that it's $2 more, then digital flats are another $10. Or if I keep it all traditional, then it runs $30.
