Hey folks!
Not a journal I enjoy posting, and frankly I've been putting it off since the start of the month, but... yeah! Earlier this year I announced that due to the rising cost of living, I was gonna have to raise my prices a bit to keep up with things and avoid having to add extra work days to my already pretty full writing schedule just to keep making effectively the same amount after basic living costs. I then delayed that price rise because I wanted to give some more folks the opportunity to commission me at my old prices following the announcement, but it's been almost six months since then, so I think I've gotta bite the bullet and do it, since prices for food, travel, energy/heating, etc are remaining high here and show little signs of dropping (because why would company shareholders lower prices for consumers when they can just make more profit as 'their' costs drop again?) at any point in the near future.
You can check my original announcement journal here for full details of my price increases. As I said then I tried to keep the increase as low as possible, and that's still very much the case now. I do understand that this may put some of my commission options just outside the range of some folks though, and for that I can only apologise. That being said, due to the value of the £ (GBP) dropping over the last couple of years, my Patreon prices will remain the same as they currently are since the exchange rate from $USD to £GBP means that my new prices will roughly line up with what my patreon tiers are already valued at. So if you already support me on patreon or have any interest in doing so in the future, the prices you see there will remain unchanged unless there's a drastic shift in the financial value of the dollar in years to come.
So, yeah, those new prices will come into effect for any commissions I take as of the end of this month, and my FA commission tab will be updated to reflect those changes at that time. Once we hit the Star Trek cashless society of the future though, I'll be sure to stop charging for stories entirely. If any of you have time machines and get Captain Janeway or Wesley Crusher or someone else who doesn't mind fiddling with the timelines here and there to hurry the future up, that'd be greatly appreciated. :D

There's a joke about inflation fetishes here but I'm not clever enough to come up with it.
