Took My First Commission (and other bits)

General
~ I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more. ~ I'm a writer, not an artist. And its always hard to get work on these sites as such, since most people prefer the more instant gratification of looking at an image over the time requirement of a story...
My first task you may be wondering? Writing a bondage/torture Pokemon ™ Doll fantasy up for the commissioner. I know right? This is fairly intense, and well outside my normal comfort zone, so I'm hoping it goes well.
He (the commissioner) asked for a rush order so I'm hoping to have the first draft done and out to him within the next five days. I *think* I could probably get it to him sooner than that even, but I have work every day but Tuesday. Also on Tuesday I have a few appointments and my Math Midterm (yikes!! I'm so nervous about this, I just really want to do well >.<) so I'm giving myself a little wiggle-room as it were, just in case.
As always, my darling @araxiel, has complete faith in me and says he knows it will be superb and I will get it finished on time. Still though... One worries, yes?

Anyway, if this goes well (and if I don't end up too stressed out before the end) I may well end up opening up for even more commissions.
With my new job, we are not hurting financially, but it would be nice to have some extra cash the fun stuff...
I've also been thinking it might be nice to offer up a collab between Rax and I, wherein the commissioner gets a story written by yours truly and an image to go with by Rax... Maybe a favorite scene from the story or a character portrait? But I'd have no idea what to charge and I have so few followers I'm just not sure it would sell... *sigh*
I plan to get some more of my work up here at some point too. I have no doubt it would help in the procuring of commissions. I'm just having a bit of trouble tracking down all my previous work... So much has just seemed to have gone vanished. I just know I have a few things that got lost on my old laptop when it died >.<

I'm sure that your mate is right on the money, I'm sure that you'll do a superb job.
That colab idea sounds like a magnificent idea. I'm sure that it would sell. Looking forward to seeing your awesome work.
