Commission Question
15 years ago
General
Yeah, I know what you're thinking - "zomg, this guy actually has ideas???"
First off, quick update: I got my ID finally! My cursive is horrible! That is . . . about all there is to say update wise.
Friend of mine on MSN and YIM suggested that I . . . how did he put it . . . offer my writing talents to the fandom. Said I should do commissions for people, which I'm not sure about. I tend to avoid using other people's character(s) for fear of fucking up a good thing, like, "my char wouldn't do that!". Then again, just about every time I ask for criticism of any sort, people mainly just say praise and wonder why I don't do more. Sooooo . . . should I offer commissions? Definitely free of course, at least, to start out with, haha. I would post some chat logs or written works of mine or something but . . Honestly, I don't have any stories on this computer and the chat logs I've gotta ask the users first. So, it's sorta a blind faith thing from here on out, eh? I'd say check my F-List page (link to it is on my User Page) and see if you'd like. I do scaly characters by far the best, but I might try a furry one, too. Avians and exotics are less likely for me to offer as I've got literally no experience with them, even roleplay.
Alright, well, that random and scatterbrained wall of text aside . . speaking of stories - Gah, why am I so stuck on this physical description!?!? I've got some other story ideas I might put out just for the sake of submitting SOMETHING on my page.
As always, feedback and such is much appreciated.
Oh, question before I forget: If by some fluke this commission idea does work, and I do get some actual customers (or whatever term applies) . . uh . . how much to charge? I would love to get paid to write, as I love writing (when I'm not getting raped by writer's block) and really do need the money. Also, what method do most people use for such? Paypal?

FA+

And physical descriptions still a problem? I'd suggest going it over with a friend, one of those brainstorming sessions. I'm loathe to use the term though, it's way too overused by corporations and the like, drains the term of life.
