October Update (Next stories and commission price updates...

General
Hello, everyone! I hope you're all doing well.
Its been quite some time since I last wrote a journal on here. Between how much time goes into these and the very few users who actually read and respond to them (from what I can tell), it became hard to carry on doing these in a more frequent fashion. With this one, however, I have some news to share, amidst other things.
For the first half of my updates, I want to address future stories. Commissions are still ongoing, with more on the horizon. My queue is not too long as of this writing, but there is still a considerable wait for each one regardless. After all, it takes quite some time to write and properly edit a draft. As for original stories (with pre-existing characters), there are quite a few that I intend to fully create and share with you all. In fact, tomorrow (the 21st of October), I will be releasing a Halloween story. It's of a decently-long length, and came from an idea I had just last month, probably making this story the quickest one from conception to end product. Afterwards, look out for more of them, involving Hazbin Hotel and other franchises, where I take certain characters and put them in the *best* scenarios, lmao. Who knows? There might even be another Halloween story later this month.
Now, my second half of updates in this journal is a substantial one regarding my commissions. I made a thread about this on my Twitter page announcing this, but to summarize, it has nearly been an entire year since I first started taking commissions. What started as me trying to earn money in a comfortable, non soul-crushing manner has blossomed into something wondrous. I have gotten to meet many new individuals during this journey thus far, while also growing in skill and confidence as a writer of all things big, fat, and/or inflated. With that said, at the beginning of November, I will be raising my commission prices. This decision is something I've had in mind for a long time now, with this being my sole form of income. On top of that, I am doing this to combat the fees that P@yP@l takes from me with each and every transaction made. If I'm being honest. I am scared to do this. I am worried that my queue will drop and leave me alienated due to these increases. But at the same time, I know that what I am doing is rightful; to better shift my rates to where I think they should be. I am trying to adjust prices to the point where they walk a fine line between being affordable and supporting me better than they did before. I really hope you are all accepting of this decision, and that support up to this point can continue onwards in strength.
When I do increase my commission prices, I will be uploading an updated price sheet on both FA and Twitter, tweaking rates, fees, and my TOS.
For those who have read through this journal, thank you so much! It means a lot to me.

I'm also happy to hear that commission work has been going good for you, and that you are feeling confident enough to raise your prices! That's awesome~ 💜 One of these days I'm gonna try to comm something from you, myself, but first things first...need to settle some personal debts ><;;
Either way, great to hear about the success! Keep up the good work ^^
I'm really happy to hear your thoughts regarding my work and commissions. I aim to keep on creating stellar stuff, with plenty of ideas in mind for future stories. I'd be more than happy to work on a comm for you, whenever that may be.
