My Request Policy
7 years ago
General
This is partially just to bump down the old journal, since the person actually did give me a refund. But this is also something I have been meaning to do for a while.
Anyway, many of you have probably noticed my slow progress and unusual order of getting requests done. Well I've already been doing this for a while, but now I'm making it official. When I first took requests, I did them in a first come - first serve order. This worked fine for a while, but I found myself falling behind. This resulted in a bit of stress for me, and the sense that I was letting people down. I basically had to remind myself that these are requests, not commissions.
I write as a hobby, not as a job, and I don't want it to become a job. So here's the thing; People are still free to make requests, however I cannot promise or guarantee any kind of completion date. I reserve the right to work on requests in whatever order I choose and at my own pace. I know this may not seem fair, but it's better for most people. I sure that if you get something from me, you don't want some piece that I just threw together to get through it and onto the next request. I take pride in my work and make sure that each request gets my full effort.
I thank you for being patient with me, and I hope to continue to provide enjoyable stuff.

I'd say that all sounds reasonable, creativity requires a healthy mindset. Writing takes time. Ideas take time to form, and even longer to put into words.
