Hey everyone!
Since I wrote my previous journal, I have some good news. My perpetual ear ringing has died down. Hopefully nothing is jinxed by me saying that, but the recovery is rather obvious at this point. Am I out of the woods yet? Not quite. I'm monitoring this day by day. If I listen closely, it's still there, but definitely far from the loud screeching that prevented me from sleeping and working.
Readers were curious about my previous journal, specifically the part where I mentioned about maintaining my Patreon, despite stating I've retired from writing fetish stories publicly. I think it's important to clarify.
Back in December, I was having a lot of trouble concentrating. Little did I know it was an issue with my inner-ear, which led to things like vertigo, dizziness and "brain fog." At the time, I chalked it up to laziness and lack of motivation. On top of everything, I was also busy. And I've been busy ever sonce, trying to push myself through this strange medical episode and generate income during this pandemic. If I'm being honest, I really don't have a whole lot of time to release stories for free or work on them consistently on a daily basis -- even when my health is good.
I'm now in the process of monetizing my work in the form of Patreon and anthologies. Be on the lookout for a few future announcements.
As far as commissions go, I think that ship has sailed sadly. Last November, I opened up a few slots but no one bit. People will send me notes on here requesting commissions but when I finally opened for them, nobody took and no one would say why they didn't. I'm not bothered by that. But it did confirm to me something I've long suspected: AB/DL fiction is generally not something people commission.
Still figuring things out. Stay safe!

Glad to hear you're doing better. As for commissions, I personally thought about requesting one from you but I found your prices to be too high. Your writing is great, but $50 for a story where I don't even get to guide the plot is too much. For $300 people are gonna expect a novel. I'd've been willing to pay like half of the prices you had listed.

OP
I'll rework the pricing.
