General Rules For Adopts, Preposes, and Auctions

Moved from the front page to a journal for less clutter.
General Rules of the Adoptables:
These general rules apply for all adoptable characters, unless otherwise stated in their description.
*All of my adoptables are Pay What You Want! When you buy the adopt for the base price, you'll get the character as is (with the watermark removed, of course). If you throw in $5 extra, I'll draw you a ref sheet. For $15 extra, I'll do a drawing of your character plus the ref sheet. Many adopts have a price for a bundle that's a bit less than the adopt, ref sheet, and commission combined.
*Payments through PayPal only, please. Once you claim your adopt, I'll note you my e-mail address you can use for payment. Please pay within 24 hours. I understand that everyone has different times they can use the internet, but I cannot keep something on hold forever. Please don't place an order if you don't have the money ready. If it is not paid for within 24 hours, it will go back up for sale.
*First come, first serve. If you see someone further up in the comments has claimed a character, and I haven't put them on the list yet, please don't claim the same character further down on the page. That's just silly, and will be ignored. For clarification, if someone has been denied the character for whatever reason, I'll either comment such or hide their comment.
*If "CLOSED" is in the title of any of the adoptable pages, they are all sold or unavailable. No ands, ifs, or buts, because the rights to the character were given away. If I get enough requests, I might do a similar one, but it won't be the same.
Customs:
As long as I've got a commission slot open (here: http://pewterkat.deviantart.com/jou.....Info-269543203 ), feel free to ask for a custom adopt. Any kind of adopt posted here is up for customization, unless specifically stated. Pick an adopt, theme or color scheme, gender, and details. You can be as specific as you want, or leave it up to my imagination. All custom adopts start at $10, and can (almost always) be G-XXX. I can throw in a free outfit for your character if you'd like. If it gets really elaborate, or you'd like multiple outfits or accessories, I will have to raise the price accordingly. NOTE: I'm not very good with clothes, so ask for them at your own risk. XD
Rules for Preposes:
*Unless it is an auction, all of the characters in a prepose have a predetermined price. This price is not negotiable. If you don't have enough, please don't claim it because you are wasting my time and the time of others who might like to be a part of it.
*Unless it is said otherwise in the description, the finished product will always be outlined in black and soft-shaded.
*Payments through PayPal only, please. If you show interest in a slot, you have 24 hours to pay for it before I have to open it back up to make it available for someone else.
*First come, first serve. If someone does not pay for their slot, and you have expressed an interest in it, I will go down the list until someone buys it.
*If a Prepose has CLOSED in the title, it is closed. No ands, ifs, or buts. If people have a great interest in it, I might repost AFTER I have fully completed the original, but most likely, I will do something similar, and not exact. It's not to be stingy, just to prevent a burnout. If a Prepose has ON HOLD in the title, I am working out something with one of the buyers. It is not officially closed, but don't get your hopes up, because more than likely I'm just waiting on their payment.
*If it takes more than two days to complete when I am actively working on it (i.e. it's not too far down my commissions list and it's in queue), you may request a WIP peek on the work I have so far UP TO THE COLORING STAGE ONLY. Once I lay down the flat colors, it usually doesn't take long to finish. Alternatively, I will often post the inks of the piece as a WIP once I get there if I feel I'm taking too long.
Auction Policies and why I do them the way I do
*Bids start lower than I want to sell the thing being auctioned for, be it a prepose or an adopt. I do this to make a deal for people who might not be able to afford the more expensive art, but are still interested. Typically, I like to sell preposes at at least the cel shaded level, and adopts with at least a simple ref and an outfit. I throw in extras as incentive for bidding higher, not because I try to be greedy, but because I need the money, and the extras are a promise of more things from me if you do want to spend more money. That's also why the autobuy prices exist. I realize that they will most likely not ever be reached, but I will try to accommodate the bidder in case that situation ever arises (and be exceedingly grateful! <3).
*Reminders for a week-long auction will be sent out 5 days, 3 days, 1 day, and 1 hour before the end of the auction, or 5 days, 2 days, and 1 hour before if the slots have already been bid on. They will be up for part of the day (longer if I don't log back into this account) and taken down later. This is not done to disrespect those who have already bid, but to increase exposure. It's how I get quite a few people in here, and whether they bid or not doesn't matter much to me. :) I know I spammed a lot with the first auction, and I will try not to do it that badly again.
*If you do bid on one of my auctions or buy a prepose or adopt, you are not required to watch me. However, everyone is required to treat each other with courtesy and respect, whether they're a regular and a watcher or just visiting. I will not tolerate hate and flaming. Even if you are the high bidder, if you cause trouble I will ban you from auctions.
If you have any questions you don't find an answer here for, or if I wasn't clear on something, please don't hesitate to ask. These rules are to protect both parties and I don't like being mean, but if there isn't regulation in place, things can get crazy. :)
