Would you still love me if I was open for commissions?
4 months ago
Scribbling nonsense all across the board like jaguars leaping from trees of leather bodices encasing aged withered corpses whose eyes dazzle with the light of one million and three silver satellites flying over Los Angeles hiding illegal immigrants from Irish potato farms built atop the golden ruins of El Dorado filled with demonic Ewoks hurling tremendous tankards of tons of Tylenol at the panda bear ninjas that hide around every corner of the magic square building trying desperately to pull up its skirt and set roots on another cubic square inch of the board upon which I am scribbling nonsense.
Hello.
Some of you may remember that back in 2020 I closed my commissions and I have stated multiple times since then that I had no plans to reopen.
Well, times change and cash becomes increasingly necessary.
The biggest reason that I stopped taking commissions was that they took up too much time I could be using for my personal projects, which became pertinent when I started working on novel-length stories. I needed to be able to do commissions without significantly disrupting the flow of my work.
More recently, I started doing dailyish drabbles to get practice in and push out some of the simpler ideas I'd like to do. That's a far more manageable thing for me to do quickly. So what if I were to open up for doing those for people?
Here are the things you need to know at the moment:
1) I AM NOT OPENING RIGHT NOW.
I will be opening for these commissions sometime next week. I want to be able to get a few of these in before I go to Anthrocon. This should give y'all some time to think about what you want. Please do not start asking me for anything just yet, there will probably be a form for sign-ups.
2) BEAR IN MIND THAT THESE ARE EXTREMELY SHORT.
The intent with these is that they're something I can do quickly in a single sitting, something to warm up for my daily work. Ideally they are 500 to 1000 words, sometimes a little longer. This is a single scene with not too much going on.
For examples of the kind of content you can expect from this, check out these collections:

(I'll be posting some more selections over the coming week.)
3) PRICES WILL BE GOING UP.
The fact of the matter is that I have effectively been charging below minimum wage ever since I started doing commissions and I can't do that anymore.
From now on I will be charging 4 cents per word, or $20 for 500 words, currently still using the old tier-gating system but that might change.
Keep all this in consideration. I will post another announcement soon to confirm when the opening will be.
Casual reminder that if you want to financially support my work, you can pledge to me on Patreon to see early previews of my unfinished work and the drabbles that don't get publicly posted, as well as make suggestions for things that I work on.
You can also make one-time donations on my Ko-Fi.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Also for the record coloring commissions are not being considered at the moment.

Oh that would be interesting! I may just happen to make Anthrocon too so perhaps I could say hello if I get the chance. ;)
