I've had a really unusual couple of days as far as keeping in contact with commissioners goes, so I really need to get something off my chest finally.

If you are my commisssioner, it is my top priority to get your work done and finished to you in a reasonable time frame. This is currently my only job and I take that very seriously. When I post a journal regarding my plans for commissions, timeframe for working/finishing them etc. I really do not appreciate personal messages asking about when your piece will be finished. It's posted publicly (here, next to my queue) so it's all in one place and easy to see. So just a reminder that if you want an update on your commission or how close I may be to working on it, check my journals and my queue before you note me. This includes things like icons and sketches, where the queue is on a submission or specific journal or there is a first come first served offer and a list of comments. If you can't find the information you need there, always feel free to send me a note! I really want you to know what's going on and keep you updated but I end up having to repeat myself a lot for people who don't bother to check.

That being said, regardless of how well I know you (or don't!) we have a professional relationship when you commission me. That's why I have prices and a terms of service. So please keep in mind that relationship goes both ways. I expect you to be professional with me as well.

Lastly, and this ties into the professional relationship thing, please don't scream at me =___= I really should not have to say this at all. I'm generally an intuitive individual but I make mistakes, as does anyone, so if I forget something or do anything else that puts you off, let's talk about it in a calm manner please. I really do not appreciate messages with all caps in them, or tons of exclamation marks.

I guess the TL;DR is that if you read this just please keep in mind that I am a human being too, with feelings and thoughts. If you are my commisssioner you are in them! I promise. I don't take this sort of thing lightly. So please just be civil with me ; ;

Thanks,
