How It Works
Here's a detailed description of my commission process:
When I announce that my commissions are open, there's no need to hurry! My commissions are not first-come-first-serve. That means that it doesn't matter when you submit your idea. As long as it is within the period that my commissions are open, it will be considered!
Commissions usually stay open for 3 to 4 days to make sure that everyone has time to think up their ideas and submit their forms.
Unfortunately, that also means that submitting a form with an idea does not 100% guarantee that the commission will be taken. After the commission period ends, I will go through all the received queries and pick out the ideas that better resonate with me. How many stories get picked each time the commission window opens depends on my current availability and the length of the picked proposed stories.
I will contact everyone that has submitted an idea into the form at some point up to five days after the commission window closes. I will contact you regardless of if I picked your commission up or not just so you have some feedback.
Writing is a long process and each story takes many hours of work to come to fruition. Because of that, I often do not pick too many stories to work on at once. I can only work on so many of them simultaneously and I don't want to leave anyone waiting several weeks just to see me get started on their story.
That also means, however, that I can open the commission window more often. When I finish a batch of chosen commissions, chances are I'll be opening it again pretty soon. If your idea wasn't picked in the first time, feel free to resubmit it again, or submit a new idea if you thought of something else, and eventually it is bound to be picked.
If your submitted idea is vague or not very concise, I might contact you to ask you more details about it before making the final decision regarding whether it will enter the current round of commissions or not. Try to be clear when describing the idea and elements that you like when submitting the form!
After the chosen ideas are picked and everyone is contacted, I will move on to discussing the outline of the stories with the people that were picked this time around and only then do we move on to the first payment.
In summary (tl;dr):
- Keep an eye out for when the open commission window starts and end through my announcement on my media websites. (Lasts for 3-4 days)
- When the window is open, submit your idea using the commission form page.
- Wait for my feedback on whether your query was taken for this round or not. (Up to 5 days after the commission window closes)
- If it was picked, yay! We'll discuss the idea, form an outline and proceed to payment. If it wasn't picked this time, I'm sorry! Feel free to resubmit it again next time!
