In light of my recent absence (and one that came after a much longer absence) I have decided that I once again should overhaul the rules for commissions/requests to reflect my current going ons. The fact of the matter is that I don't have as much time to do all the things that I want, and while I would like to get to everyone's requests (and certainly would like the boost in income from commissions), I simply cannot. And while raising the prices of commissions to make it worth more for me to do them is a possibility, I don't think that would be very fair.

So what does this mean in terms of the new rules? What I've tried to set up is something that lets the largest number of people leave happy, and lets me continue doing this without going on a hiatus because there's more work than I can deal with at the moment. I have been doing everything on a first come first serve basis, but this leads to smaller projects getting delayed by the bigger ones because I don't want to screw over people that asked for things first. However, I believe that doing things this way might be unfair to those who just want the short and simple requests. So I will no longer be doing these in strict chronological order. Will people that asked first get higher priority? Certainly. But expect to see a couple smaller projects to come out before the longer sequences. I might also ask people to shorten some sequences.

I think that with this sort of model I can get more done in a shorter amount of time with less stress. Mind you, all of these changes apply even to the requests/commissions made before this journal. I'm really sorry that I've made some of you wait so long only to tell you that you might have to wait longer, but right now I think it's the only way I can make this work with my schedule.

(Also there are some slight changes to the usual rules nothing too major though.)
