''When will you open for commissions again?''
13 years ago
General
So, I've been asked this question a LOT lately. Often, this is followed by 'Can I have a slot?'' or ''Can you save me a slot?''
... I need to answer this question here so everyone can see it.
I have no idea when I will be able to re-open commissions - I do state that I work on these outside of my college work, which determines my future, and therefore it needs to take priority. I cannot possibly give approximate dates, deadlines, etc. because I just don't know how my college work load will be at any one time. I'm still catching up from some commissions even from last year - I'm currently in a lot of backlog and keeping up with this is really taking it's toll on me.
I'm doing all that I can to get these commissions out for their customers, as well as be able to take more commissions for those who have been patiently waiting.
Furthermore, my next few commissions are planned out - I even have some supplies for some of them. I cannot take anybody's commissions until these promised ones are done.
However, I do not usually offer a waiting list. It's because it's friends and/or I really liked the design, and I don't want to lose the commission. This is not normal procedure and I will not be offering this service in the future. And it's because of this that, when I'm asked ''Can I be put on your waiting list?'' or ''Can you save me a slot?'', no. I'm afraid I really can't. I can't keep track of a waiting list, and if I did, it would be as long as my arm.
It's because of this that, each time I open for a new queue of commissions, unless you've been previously offered a quote (more recently, not 2 years ago or something) that my prices are going to be rising. I don't get anywhere near as much profit for them as the time I put in, and with so much demand, I could be earning more than I am. And I'm having to also take a part-time job on saturdays because my commissions do not provide me with anywhere near enough money for what I need.
So in a nutshell:
No, I do not know when I will be opening commissions
And no, I cannot add you to a waiting list or save you a slot when I next open. My demand is much too high for this and I can't keep track.
Quotes are also closed at present.
Thank you for reading, I don't want to seem really mean or anything because I certainly don't mean to be, but I needed to post this here. I'm wasting my time replying to the same messages over and over again, and I have no doubt this will continue, but at least now I will have hopefully reduced this number. I might ignore any questions along the lines of those in this journal, but you have been warned. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
