Well, After a little over a week's time, I've decided to close the experiment down, calling it a minor success. Despite getting only one commissioner the entire time, I managed a halfway-decent story by my opinion, AND I made a meager, but for the effort applied, decent amount of cash. So, I may open up later and try this again, maybe after revising the pricing method a bit.

Thanks to Avarios, the one person to commission me the entire time!
