Price Increase

As before, IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN THE QUEUE, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU, this only applies to NEW entries added to the queue AFTER this journal is posted. Anyone currently in the queue will only be charged the current rate of $1.35/100 words.

Guess who filed their taxes today and discovered that their side hobby of writing commissions now earns enough to get taxed? :| I won't say exactly how much it cost me (since it's side income to my day job) but it was more than I typically make from an entire commission.

So to make up the difference and try and get myself BACK to writing at what is effectively minimum wage, my rates for commission slots taken after this journal is posted will be as follows:
- Normal: $1.50 / 100 words
- Discounted: $1.35 / 100 words

Thanks, gubmint. Thubmint.

Back to Google Docs

I checked in with some people who have continued to use Drive-based services despite Google's service changes. Apparently as long as nobody actually reports you, you're fine; Google only really cares about people publicly distributing stuff on Drive to thousands of people. Since I only use GDocs for review and not for distribution, I'll go back to using it.

This also means that I won't require deposits as I had initially planned, since the only reason I was doing that was due to the loss of GDocs and its ability to give someone a copy of the story that they can't copy-paste.
