ANNOUNCEMENTS AND JUNE COMMS (0/1)

Hello, everyone.

It's been long since I've ever talked with anyone. How you guys been doing? Have Spring been good for you? And what will Summer bring forward? I never gave it a thought, living in a tropical realm, but for those who does, I hope you have a nice day!

So let's just start on what I've been thinking for a long time. Something about very important changes regarding my commission structures in the future.

I've been thinking about it since New Year's, perhaps even before. After a long reflection, I felt like I had to do this. I’ve made the difficult decision to adjust my commission rates.

Starting from now, I will be increasing the commission rates. This is how it will work.

• <6k words : $1 per 100 words.

• >6k - 10k words: $1.25 per 100 words

• >10k words: 1.5 per 100 words

There also be a discount for select IPs that I will mention :

Fate Series, Arknights and Blue Archive TGTF ideas will receive a discount of 15 percent, and could be stacked along with tier discount.

This change comes from a place of necessity, due to my constantly changing financial situations, which I have mentioned for a long time, and also most importantly, because of my re-evaluation of my effort. I've always tried to give my 100% in writing commissions and for a long time, I've enjoyed writing for you guys. And thus, I believed that I should increase the rate to reflect my commitment to these stories. I hope you guys understand.

As a reminder, this would not change any ongoing comms and projects that I've already planned and invested in. You’ll still receive what we agreed to, at the previous rate.

Additionally, I’ll also be reducing my available commission slots from 4 to 3 going forward. As I work to balance my schedule and make space for personal needs and creative recovery, I believe this will help me maintain quality and avoid burnout.

This would also help me open up spaces for other benefits that I've been unable to finish due to the burden, like poll stories, and requests. Yeah, it's been a long time since I've worked on them. It's coming home once and for all.

Lastly, looking ahead:

I’ll be opening commissions for June, but only one slot will be available this time. My slots for June have already been filled in all but one. I suggest that you follow the rules on the separate post regarding the type of commissions I'll accept.

Stories come and go, and after 4 years of creating stories, I couldn't thank you guys enough for following throughout the years and I've appreciated all your support both in DA and Patreon. I couldn't believe that I've gone this far, especially with how I am. I hope I can continue posting stories and that you guys would continue supporting me in the future

Ciao!
