Well, I guess I'm going to HAVE to open my commissions now. I've already got people asking about it. haha.

So yes, October commissions are OPEN! CLOSED! However, there are some updates, too.

Price Change
I am adjusting my prices. Not by a lot, but with getting more commissions, my time is getting more limited. So here's the new breakdown (I'll update the commission journal to reflect the new prices, too.)

Upfront: $20 (This includes the first 1k of a story)
If you want to keep the story private, there is an additional $15 to the upfront fee
For every 1k words after the first, it is $7. There still is no maximum length, just keep it reasonable. I can only focus on one thing so much.

Coffee Break Rename
So some may have noticed a few days ago, I went back and rebranded my Bite-Sized Stories to Coffee Break Stories. Stories short enough to read in a coffee break. It was also brought to my attention that I should shift up my warnings icon for my stories a little more. I agree. So, the CBS now have their own warnings icon style to separate them and make them easier to tell apart from my other stories. I may do this with other stories in the future.

Coffee Break Commissions
YES! In addition to my normal commissions, I am opening up the shorter Coffee Break style as a commissions. They are short 1-3k stories with lighter details and a specific focus. These will be a flat-fee up front, and it's as long as it's going to be. I'll still do all my normal editing stuff and work with you, of course. I've never been a 'you get what I think you should get' kind of person. You get what you're happy with.

For the moment, I do not have a specific number of slots for how many I'll do, want to see how popular an option it is. These will also not fill the normal commission slots. The fee for a CBC is a flat $25 upfront.

Halloween Stories
These are all done now. I'm just going to keep with the schedule of posting the next chapter every Friday. Look forward to Chapter 2 tomorrow. Then on Halloween itself will be a trio of stories for everyone to enjoy.

That is all for now!
