A Note Re: Commission Revisions
8 years ago
Greetings,
How is everyone?
Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm continuing to make progress was some commissions. I returned to working on them after taking a week off. I'll be shooting off updates today and tomorrow for those who commissioned me.
I've come across an issue that's become time-consuming and more labor-intensive than I originally anticipated. When someone commissions me for a story, I spend some one-on-one time with them to discuss the characters, themes, plot overview; after the discussion phase, I turn over drafts for them to review. Once I get the final draft and they approve it, I upload it here. Lately, issues arose from people wanting me to make revisions in parts of their stories that bear no relevance to the overall plot -- a lot of stylistic revisions. This has taken more time than I care to admit, and it takes advantage of the "pay me later after you like it" trust system. I've gotten a few people who've said to me, after working for weeks and sometimes months on a draft, that they wouldn't pay me because I'm not committing to every one of their many revisions.
It's not like I need the money for bills or anything like that, and it's not like others are still on the waiting list /s
I'll continue the commissions through this cycle, but after I'm done with this batch, it's back to original stories.
