Updating my commission info
8 years ago
General
So after a bit of experimenting its become a bit obvious I need to do a teeny not of maintenance regarding commissions. Don't worry, most of its the same stuff but I am going to be splitting the $5 slot up into something a bit more flexible.
As of today, 10/13/17, any $5 commission is for anywhere 1,500-5,000 words. This is for my own sanity and ties into a new rule below.
Regarding prompts: Please, please, PLEASE try and provide additional details if you're going to provide a prompt from an OTP or Imagine blog. A large majority are not designed for long paragraphs let alone full length pieces. I need details so I know what you want me to do with your characters. If you hand me a one sentence prompt I will refuse your commission because I am not going to put myself through writers block over that. Here are some examples of how I would prefer to get prompt based commissions:
Yes: Hi, my name is ____ and am interested in commissioning you. I have x prompt from y blog and links to bios for characters a and b. [Insert AT LEAST five addition lines explaining what you want and how long you want it].
No: Hi, my name is ____ and am interested in commissioning you. Here is incredibly vague prompt x from blog y and two characters and I want it to be 10k words.
Don't do the second one. Just don't. That shit literally causes me writers block and slows my writing process to a literal crawl. I'm not asking you to come up with the conflict, climax and resolution but help me get to the point where I can do it myself. Help me help you. Hopefully this is the only time I have to change things around like this.
