A quick note on commissions and trades
10 years ago
General
First off, after a couple recent incidents I'm gonna be asking for payment up front from now on with commissions when I get to your slot. If your character is complex, and I'm not entirely sure how to do it, I'll get a start on it first before I ask for payment. If I fail to complete your commission I'll issue a full refund and an apology. I don't see this happening, but it's there if I mess up.
Secondly, I ended up taking a handful of trades, and immediately got bombarded with a few commissions. This has left me with a lot of stuff to do, which is nice, but a tad overwhelming. I've not forgotten about those who've completed their end, it's just that paid work takes priority. They're coming, and I'm excited to be working on them, it's just my output varies from project to project, and I can be a tad slow at times.
That is all for now. Thank you to everyone who's shown interest in commissioning me, or even wanting to do trades with me. It means a lot, and I'm excited to keep pushing myself to get better at what I do.

I can really relate to the stress of a dine and dash commissioner, if that's what you were alluding to.
And yeah it sucks, but I'm thankful in all my dealing that I haven't had to deal with it a lot.
