Considering Opening Commissions
9 years ago
I'm always looking for new possibilities to explore as a writer, and one thing I haven't yet considered is commissioned works. This has been in part due to time constraints and various other conflicts of time. But now I find myself with a fair bit more free time than I've had in recent years.
Commissions are interesting to me: I like seeing the stuff--art, writing, or otherwise--that others have produced on commission. If I were to take it on, it would be an interesting challenge, and something that I would hope would be rewarding for both myself and the commissioner.
However, at this stage, there are a lot of things to consider. I was wondering a couple of things. First off, if anyone who writes and has done commissions has any pointers or advice, I'm all ears. I have some ideas as to how to work the logistics based on looking around, but hearing from folks with more experience is always nice. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, I'm trying to gauge interest in this if I were to go ahead and open a couple of slots. Feel free to shoot me a PM if commenting isn't comfortable or whatnot. Just testing the waters at this point.
Cheers, and a belated happy new year to all.

Its important to give some info how you would like to run them .
*Priceing by story , pages or word count .
*How to pay , paypal is very much used but some don´t have it and its good to know beforehand . And also when to pay .
*What your open to write about , its every artists/writers right to say no about any idea but some before guidelines can be helpful to folks .
*How you want and can run the commission is allways nice , in the story writeing segment can it be quite important to include the commissioner into the makeing , solves a lot of trouble that might can come up .
Personly i like to know a few things before decideing if its worth to think about ideas and send them to someone .
To get attention , the best way to get folk interested would be posteing stories , journals can help to get your watchers in line and if you know some other aritsts can you ask them to get some attention to you .
