#but please at this point just request a refund or ask me for one if you're going to chew my ass about it

[vurelly]

i cannot ask yall to please check my faq enough if you have questions about the whereabouts of your order.

i know its frustrating, i know it makes you anxious, and i truly am sorry, but i can only say something so many times before it starts to wear down on me and my faq does actually state why orders are taking so long.

[spidermanifested]

okay so. since the other post hasnt gotten any takers and i am still broke im opening up more general commissions as well lol. shoot me a friend request on discord @spidermanifested if youre interested in any of the following:

regular commission fare

flat color headshot ($20): a shoulders-up drawing of any character you want, human or furry or robot or Watever. my specialty is, as always, old people. lineart and flats only.

painted headshot ($35): a shoulders-up drawing but this time i get to go hog wild with the shading. i like doing this better so youre basically getting swindled that it costs more

flat color full-body ($40): a full-body drawing in a pose of your choice. please feel free to give me some kind of reference for how you want the pose to look. even if its a stick figure. its So much easier that way

painted full-body ($55): a full-body drawing with shading. pose references also greatly appreciated

The Special Stuff

anime screenshot redraw ($30 per character in the shot): i love doing these also. if youve ever had a really good anime screenshot and you wanted an artists more detailed semirealistic rendition of it. even if its just that one of the guy from naruto kicking his leg up and saying "pathetic". especially if its that. i am your man

oc design collab ($10 per day): give me the details on an oc youre having trouble designing, from a description to existing reference material, and ill provide feedback and concept sketches until we settle on something youre happier with. it can be as much as asking me to design them from the ground up or as trivial as "do you think their hairstyle looks dumb"

fma eyecatch ($40): one of the intermission cards where the guy goes Full Metal Alchemist. with your character, matched to the fmab style to the best of my ability, which is preddy good i think

further info

if you want me to draw naked people or horny stuff thats another 20 bucks on top of whatever the price is

no horny art of characters under 18, period

i dont want to just open up ship commissions point blank because drawing people interacting is so much harder. but if the ship is something i am into as well i MAY be open to it. itd be double as expensive though

im allowed to tell you something is going to be too hard or i dont want to do it for any other reason

i take payment via paypal or cashapp, whatever works better. payment details will be given via discord. please have the money ready upfront and if for whatever reason i cant complete the commission ill refund you. once again thats spidermanifested on discord, or you can dm me on here if you dont have discord but i Vastly prefer it 👍

[milaisreading]

I feel like we are annoying you with all these toddler request but PLEASE CAN I GET A RIN OR SAE TODDLER PLEASE!!! Just one of them that’s all!! 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏I’ll be out of your hair!!!

Author: U all aren't annoying, it's just surprising how many people want to read these sort of things😭😭 thanks for the request 😭🩷

Warnings ⚠️ : Reader uses she/her. Requests are open

"I demand a refund in life." (Y/n) said blankly as she stared as Ego and Anri, while she herself was sitting on the floor. Now why was she on the floor? Well the reason for that were the Itoshi brothers, or more precisely the reason being the toddler versions of the two. Ego was ready to rip his hair out by now and Anri had tears streaming down her face from the cuteness. The two Itoshis, now toddlers, ran towards (Y/n) as soon as she entered the room, causing her to drop the papers she was carrying and were now bickering.

"(Y/n)! Carry!" Rin smiled up at the girl, causing her to make a double-take.

'Rin?! Smiling?!'

Sae pouted at the attention his younger brother was getting as let go of the girl's arm and hugged her instead.

"No! Me!" Sae protested, hugging the girl's neck tightly as Rin tried to pull him away.

"What will we do now?! Real Madrid will kill us if they see Sae like this!" (Y/n) panicked as Rin tried to get her attention again.

"Calm down, calm down. We will talk with them. We will need to look for someone to watch them-"

"Noo! (Y/n)!" Rin yelled in protest as Sae turned around to nod his head.

"I can't possibly watch them! I need to assist Teieri-san today at the JFU!" (Y/n) protested as Anri nodded at Ego.

"That's true, Ego-san. I will need her help today." There was a short silence where the three looked at each other and then at the 2 toddlers, when cries echoed through the room.

"Nooo!" The three looked in panic at Rin, who was crying loudly and sat on the ground. (Y/n) and Anri tried to calm him down, while Sae was glaring at his brother. The reason? Well, (Y/n) had to put Sae down and hugged Rin instead.

'So warm!' Rin thought as he cried louder, hoping Ego will grow annoyed and let (Y/n) watch them. And true to the plan, Ego sighed loudly, catching the attention of both (Y/n) and Anri.

"Fine! (Y/n), you take care of them. Can you now shut up?" Ego asked Rin, who immediately stopped crying.

"Ok!" The boy grinned, wiping his tears away.

"And how will I go to the JFU? People will ask who they are." (Y/n) asked as she loosened her hold on Rin. Sae used the opportunity to hug (Y/n)'s left arm, glaring at his grinning brother in the process.

"Just take them with you and say they are some cousins." Ego waved her off and both Anri and (Y/n) looked at each other in worry.

"Rin, no don't touch the floor!" (Y/n) scolded the younger Itoshi as she picked him up again. The four were in one of the meeting rooms at the JFU, waiting for the other members to arrive.

"God help me, (Y/n) just keep them at bay and write down whatever you can, alright?" Anri said as (Y/n) nodded her head, holding Rin tightly in her arms.

"Alrigh, Teieri-san. Come here Sae, I will put you up on the chair next to me." (Y/n) said as she put Rin on her lap and pulled Sae on the said chair, arrangement the older Itoshi didn't like.

"No. Here." The redhead pointed at her lap and (Y/n) shook her head and patted his head.

"Sorry Sae, but I need to hold Rin and write important stuff down. You will have to sit there for now."

"Hmph..." Sae pouted as Rin poked his tongue out while (Y/n) wasn't looking. The older boy rolled his eyes and hugged her arm, to which (Y/n) did protest, but it fell on deaf ears.

The meeting went as well as it could go with two toddlers. One of the higher ups kept telling (Y/n) to get them out of the room, that the kids are distracting their work, but gave up as soon as Rin started crying. He cried for about 5 minutes till one of the men said they can stay. Sae had fallen asleep at some point after that, hugging (Y/n)'s arm. The girl didn't want to wake him up after the meeting was over, so she put Rin on the ground and carried Sae. Now, this was the first time Rin wanted to cry for real, but held himself back. He just grabbed (Y/n)'s pants and walked after her.

"It wasn't bad at the end of the day..." She commented as Anri nodded her head.

"Yeah, could have been a lot worse. Let's go now, I need to report to Ego-san and those two are probably hungry." (Y/n) agreed, smiling a little as Sae grumbled something in his sleep.

"Well, hello there~ don't you look extra pretty today?" Sae and Rin tensed up as they heard Oliver's voice approach the three.

"Ha? Hi Oliver, what did you need?" (Y/n) asked as she looked at the black haired man, causing the two toddlers to grumble a little.

"(Y/n)..." Rin muttered as he tried to get her attention.

"Seems like you became a part-time babysitter. It's kinda sad that you misses the training today, if only you saw the score I made today." Oliver boasted as (Y/n) nodded her head.

"Well, I am sure it was great. Regardless if I was there or not."

"Trust me it was, even Kaiser couldn't keep up." Oliver smirked and then looked down at Sae, who was glaring at him. The older let out a chuckle and went to pick up Sae while (Y/n) was calming Rin down.

"Now, aren't you all cute and cuddly! Not such a big ego anymore?" Oliver teased as Sae kept glaring at him.

"Wa...wait Oliver, Sae just ate dinner!" (Y/n) panicked as Rin happily held her hand.

"So?" Oliver raised his eyebrow. Just as (Y/n) was about to answer, Sae puked on his face causing him to yell as (Y/n) took Sae out of his arms.

"Toddlers can sometimes throw up." She answered, smiling nervously as Oliver wiped some of the stuff off of his face.

Sae and Rin sent each other mischievous grins as (Y/n) wiped the remaining puke off of Oliver.

"Maybe you should go and wash your face... clothes too."

"Good idea." Oliver laughed nervously, trying so hard not to glare at Sae.

[strangesigils]

Hey everybody! I know it's been a hot minute since I've shown signs of life, I hope I didn't worry anybody! I'm alive and doing pretty alright!

I took a big step back from most things having to do with the internet this past year (or maybe it's been two years? Who knows) for the sake of my mental and emotional health. Anybody who sent in a sigil request through my ko-fi that I wasn't able to complete, you should have received your refunds already some time ago, if you haven't please let me know.

This isn't me coming back to sigil making requests, I want to clear that up right away. I've been working at a new job since last year and most of my energy has been and will be focused on that until I'm roughly where I want to be free-time-wise.

I won't promise that my online presence will ever be what it was before, because back when I was able to be active almost every day I was in high-school or early college, and I've long since come to the realization that this blog was made to be a hobby, but at some point it became and obligation, which isn't an escalation I should've allowed.

Going forward I won't promise to complete all requests sent in, and I won't always give an answer or reason on why I don't want to make certain ones.

I'm turning off paid commissions on my ko-fi till the summer of next year (2024).

If you send or sent in a request and it looks like it'd be fun to make, I'll probably make it when I feel like making it and post it here as usual, maybe I'll even make some on stream once in a while.

But for the most part I'm trying to focus on life in the real world in front of me, building my life into something that's truly mine, and helping the people around me in my life to make up for all the help they've given me.

I'll probably be answering asks later today just to chat and catch up and maybe talk some magic theory on stream with anybody who wants to join me! I'll post a time once I see what's going on after work.

⭐️Polly’s writing commissions ⭐️

Hi there! I decided I’d just go ahead and make a writing comms post because well. I need the money. So if you want something written, especially a fanfic, read below!

About me

I am a 23 year old artist/biologist with a decent amount of literary classes under my belt due to my liberal arts education. You can find samples of my work on my ao3, with my more recent works being the highest quality. I love writing fanfiction, especially of the series I’ve already written for, but what I make for free would naturally be less polished than what I would write on request!

Pricing

My base rate is $1 USD/100 words, with a minimum word count of 1000 ($10 USD). As of now my policy is to pay half of the estimated price up front (more on that later), with the remainder paid upon completion of the work.

Commission rules and guidelines

Things I WILL write:

Angst

Fluff

Ships

Horror

Gore (Including character death and torture)

Mildly suggestive themes

Original fiction

Fanfiction

Things I will NOT write:

Smut

Ships between adult/minor, incest, or anything that doesn’t pass the vibe check (can be discussed if unsure)

Fandoms I am uncomfortable with/simply don’t know enough about*

Anything that promotes hate, bigotry, or otherwise problematic stances on groups of real life people and places

*If you would like me to write for a fandom I am not in, I may be willing to for an additional ‘research fee’, dependent on the story concept and complexity/length of the media of origin. That being said, here is a list of fandoms I am almost certainly willing to write for, and the ones I will NOT write for, period:

Will write:

Pokemon

Digimon**

Kirby

Fire Emblem**

Viva Piñata

Sonic the Hedgehog

MOTHER

Splatoon

Dungeon Meshi

Hunter X Hunter

Fullmetal Alchemist**

JJBA**

The Legend of Zelda**

Kid Icarus

**May not be knowledgeable about specific canons

If a specific fandom isn’t here, still feel free to ask if I’m willing/interested so long as it isn’t on the “will not write” list! That being said…

Will NOT write:

H*rry P*tter

H*talia

Att*ck on T*tan

F*af

S*uth P*rk

V*vziep*p shows

Like before, there may be other fandoms I’m uncomfortable with writing for, and I will let you know up front.

Strengths

While I am willing to write just about anything not on my exclusions list, I am most comfortable and well-versed with stories featuring themes of self-discovery, identity conflict, manipulation and control, speculative biology, and interpersonal conflict. Therefore, I am more likely to accept a commission with these themes as I am more confident I can deliver a satisfying product.

Those reading this page may already enjoy some of the works I have written in the past, including ones that I have stated could hypothetically have sequels at some point in time. If you are interested in paying for said sequel to be made, I may be willing to consider a slight discount on pricing given that I already have ideas (and in some cases early unfinished drafts) for said stories. In other words, if you want me to write a sequel to something, you can guarantee I will through commissioning!

Art

I often incorporate artwork into my fanfics, and for additional payment I can add art to your commission as well. My base price for these pieces depends on number and complexity, so it would be worked out on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, if you have artwork you made/commissioned from others that you want featured in your writing commission, please let me see and it will usually not be a problem or cost extra!

Terms and conditions

I reserve the right to decline or cancel a commission for any reason. In cases of cancellation (exception below) or if I am unable to finish a commission due to unforeseen circumstances, you will receive whatever I have already written and refunded the remainder if under half of the originally agreed upon length. If unfinished work is greater than the original payment, you will not be charged extra.

You may request that I not post the finished work publicly, in which case it will only be given to you as a pdf or word doc. However, I may use snippets of the finished product for advertising purposes later, but never the full thing. If this is a concern for you, we can discuss more in detail. I also reserve the right to not post a completed work to my socials, in which case you may do so but only under the condition that you keep my involvement anonymous (I don’t foresee this being an issue, but it is better safe than sorry.) In the case that the work is published to ao3, I request no mention be made on site about the work being paid for/commissioned, as site policy has rules against this!

I often ask friends if they will beta my work, and as such if you are adamant that the commission remains strictly between us that may incur additional cost depending on complexity. This is not, however, a guarantee that anything I write will have a beta reader. Upon delivery of the final payment, you will receive my final draft and may put together a request of minor edits and changes to be made that must not exceed an additional ~2 hours worth of work.

If the final product is +/- 1k words from the original agreed-upon estimate, you will not be charged or refunded for the difference. Anything under or over this amount will be refunded to you in full or will be added to your final payment amount. I will communicate to the best of my ability as soon as possible if it seems that the story will be shorter or longer than originally anticipated (though it will likely trend towards longer) and we can decide how to proceed from there. In some cases, additional payment or the removal of desired plot points and themes may be necessary as I prefer not to deliver a sub-standard work.

Do not use any of my works for training ai language models. If I find out you have any involvement in creating ai tools using stolen or scraped artwork, that is grounds for immediate cancellation of your commission without delivery of the unfinished product and without refund. I do not take that kind of thing lightly.

By requesting a commission, you agree to be held to these terms. Thank you.

Timeline

The timeframe of delivery of the finished project ideally would be ~1 week for works 1-5k in length, 1-2 for 5-15k, 2-3 for 15-30k, and so on. These are estimations, however, and depending on other factors may be completed more or less quickly. Progress reports come in the form of chapter snippets and synopses, in which case after the completion of a chapter I will send you a few paragraphs and a summary of events. You may make requests and adjustments, with the knowledge that time spent revising increases the time before the piece can be completed.

Depending on the length and complexity of the commission, I may close down additional commissions until completion. Additionally, I may close commissions if time is limited. Chapter length and number is up to you, with the acknowledgement that longer chapters mean fewer updates. Chapters must also be a minimum of 1500 words, so commissions under 3000 words will be written as one shots.

Contact and payment

Please DM me here on tumblr to discuss any potential commissions, and payment will be made through PayPal. No writing will be done before initial payment is received, and full refunds will only be available in the first 24 hours after payment is made.

Thank you for reading! I hope to work with you soon!!

~Polly

[misssakurapetal28]

Hello! I’m Currently Open For Commissions!

Due to recent irl events, I am now for the time being accepting commissions! Here are the examples:

Lineart - $10

Colored (no shading nor background) - $20

Colored with Shading (no background) - $25

Colored, with Shading and background - $30

$5 each to add extra characters

$3 extra for full body

Please read the Rules & Conditions first!

I will not start your commission(s) until I receive your full payment!

I need a description AND references of what you want me to draw. Just send it to me at my main account @misssakurapetal27!

If you're requesting an OC, please give me a reference of them.

I MIGHT do NSFW art, but it's ENTIRELY based on what it is. With that said, PLEASE DO NOT commission me NSFW art if you are a minor or under 18+! If you do this and I find out that you're a minor, I will decline your commission and I WILL block you!

The max number of commissions that I'll receive from each customer is 3 (three).

Please, DO NOT pay me until I confirm your order! After I do so, I will note you, message you or DM you privately through my email or account.

Me finishing your commission(s) is highly dependent on my schedule. So it will take me at least 1 month to get it finished. If I don't meet this deadline and you don’t wish to wait any longer, then you are owed your right to a complete refund.

Please keep in mind that I have a schedule and real-life matters to deal with, so sometimes things are going to come up that might slow the progress of your commission. You are entitled to a refund after a month, but please give me time.

At this point in time, I will accept payments through Paypal and ONLY through Paypal. I also prefer USD (US currency).

If ANY rules are broken, I have the right to decline your offer. If you come at me aggressively, I will block you on the spot.

I WILL do:

Fanart of any game, show, movie etc., even if I haven't heard of it! However, I do prefer media that I HAVE at least heard of. It increases the chances of your commission being done early.

Any character, that includes OCs.

SFW most definitely.

Ships/Pairings/Couples, even if it’s one’s that I don’t like.

Any LGBTQIA+ art of any kind. That includes Male x Female, Male x Male and Female x Female pairs. Poly is also included.

I MIGHT do (we'll discuss privately):

Animals & monsters. I'm still getting use to drawing them.

NSFW. It depends on what it is and how explicit it is. At best, it will be VERY mild.

Furries & Anthros.

I WON'T do:

Pedophilia or child porn of any kind.

Zoophilia/Zoosadism or Bestiality of any kind.

Hate art, bigotry or discrimination of any kind.

Misogny, incels, toxic masculinity, toxic femminity, or alpha/beta males of any kind.

Fetishes

Political or Religious Propaganda

Finale Note:

Due to Tumblr's guidelines, some (if not) all of my possible NSFW commissions will just be sent directly to you. SFW Art I will post and send to you.

I will not take any free request nor art trades. Prices are also NON-NEGOTIABLE. Ask me for those things once and you’ll get a warning! Ask for those things again and you will be blocked!

If you have any more questions or concerns, DM me at or note me @misssakurapetal27 for more!

Media that I know of:

Miraculous Ladybug

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

Equestria Girls

She-Ra

Pretty Cure

Sailor Moon

Hellva Boss

Hazbin Hotel

Rise of the TMNT

Like I said however, I will do any series 😄

[ultrainfinitepit]

I am so so so sorry to message you here about this because it's not really your issue but I'm unfortunately lost. I recently ordered from your Etsy, but the tracking says it arrived on the 12th...it definitely did not :( I don't want to go through Etsy because it's not your fault USPS lost my envelope, but I wondered if you had any advice for pursuing finding out where it actually got sent? Especially since the wolf knight pin I got is now sold out, it seems. Once again, I'm asking nothing of you other than if you have any tips for people with lost stuff. I feel like when I call the post office I'm just gonna hear "well we delivered it, sorry." I didn't send a message through Etsy because idk if that would somehow get your shop in trouble or something, possibly I worry too much

I love your pins and probably 2/3s of my collection are yours and I have every intention of continuing to purchase. I even got a few gifts for people this time around. I'm just really down about not getting them so I'm reaching out partially to feel like I'm doing something about it. Sorry to bother you and if this is annoying, no obligation to respond. Hope you're having a lovely evening <3

Hi there, I'm sorry to hear your package got lost. As a pin collector myself I know how disappointing and frustrating that can be, even more so if the pin is no longer available. In the future please feel free to reach out on Etsy, it doesn't hurt my shop if you message with a question there. Tumblr and other social media sites aren't very reliable when it comes to delivering messages, I've lost asks in my inbox or had messages hidden on Instagram and Twitter. That's just a blanket notice for anyone who might come across this later :))

If your package was not delivered and was marked delivered, here are the steps I would take:

Wait 48 hours - you have already done this but for anyone else in the same predicament, sometimes USPS marks the package delivered when it's really "out for delivery." I've had this happen a few times and the packages show up within two days.

Submit a missing mail search request - this sends a message to your post office telling them the package is missing and asking them to search for it. I've done this request a few times and had luck getting one package located this way.

Open a case on Etsy - Etsy's Purchase Protection Program has a caveat that if the package is marked delivered but was lost, and shipping was purchased through Etsy, they may cover the refund and the shop does not have to. Here's a guide on how to open a case. There are some risks to a shop if they have too many open cases, BUT I'd rather you get your money back than pay for pins and get nothing! So please do open that case. When people message me inquiring about lost packages I usually tell them to open a case for it. If you want you can send me a courtesy message ahead of time as a heads up. Etsy may ask me to provide input on the case and usually I point to the tracking saying the package is delivered. It's not a big deal at all, so again, please open a case.

Sometimes people don't want their money back and just want a replacement sent instead. If it's a small order I will sometimes do this, but the buyer has to pay for shipping again. For larger orders, I prefer you get a refund and repurchase because it can be costly for me to replace big orders.

Ideally you get your money back from the Etsy case, and from there you can repurchase your items if available. In this case the item is sold out, but I have seconds-grade Wolf Knight pins still if you want one of those. If you have your heart set on a standards-grade pin, you can wait until my stockists have them in stock or pick one of the alternate colorways - they should be restocked at the end of this month.

I hope this helps, and I hope your package is located. Thank you for your patience and for supporting my small business :))

[songmingisthighs]

lmao kq is just as bad as the ones you mentioned 😭😭😭 if you had proper company knowledge, you wouldn't be praising kq and if you had proper knowledge, your parents would have supported you as much as your sister.. guess they made the right choice after all !!

oh i didn't know kq forces their artists on dating scandals to cover up other members or other group's scandals, i didn't know kq put ateez on slave labour pay scheme, i didn't know kq forced their artists on strict and unhealthy diets, i didn't know kq physically and verbally abused their artists, i didn't know kq put their trainees and rookie artists in 2 bedroom basement level unit until they broke even on the investment fee, i didn't know kq barred the members from going home on holidays, i didn't know kq put their artists in traumatic situations for contents, i didn't know kq urges their staff to berate their artists to keep them in line, i didn't know kq underpaid their staffs so bad that said staff resort to sneaking pictures of idols changing and selling them or sell the artists' information to sasaengs

i do have proper corporate and industrial knowledge, i work in the human resource industry and i do business networking regularly with not only local but global enterprises ranging from small digital agencies to big multinational hospitals to manufacturing to music, management, security, etc etc etc etc industries and i handle SOP, legal contracts, agreements, NDA, job requirements and requests (talent acquisition), and so on and so forth on a daily basis. so considering what i know about corporate regulations and the easier route kq could have taken to make ateez (and now xikers too) their money printing machines, i do praise kq. that being said, you seem to lack the wisdom that just because i praise them, it doesn't mean i 100% agree with them. because no one can be perfect. like you, you're a loudmouth coward with no brain

and congratulations for attempting to use my trauma and unfortunate situation to make a point, it did not magically made you correct and it did not make you look tough. in fact, it's so pathetic that i'm offering another information for you to try to use against me : i was physically, verbally, emotionally, and psychologically abused by my parents, i was bullied in private school for 14 years, at age 12 when i first attempted to commit suicide and was stopped by my uncle my parents' response was "get out the damn bedroom, your sister need to get her things, stop being selfish and throw a tantrum some other time, nobody cares about the show you put". please try harder to hurt me or else you just look stupid. but at least i thrive as best as i could (against my will) despite my parents' neglect and blatant favoritism. can't say the same about you since you turn out like this lmao fucking embarrassing i pity your parents they should ask for a refund

What kinds of monsters can I request?

I'm pretty open to different kinds of monsters, though I do prefer ones that aren't from movies or games as I might not be very familiar with them. I will say though that I will NOT write under any circumstances about Sk1nw4lk3rs or W3nd1g0s. I don't even like typing them out. If a particular kind of monster makes me uncomfortable, I will let you know and we can try to figure out another kind that makes you happy and I'm comfortable with!

Are there any limits?

I will not write about actual death. While violence and gore (to an extent) is fine, and I have written about near death experiences even with smut before, I won't write about the character actually dying. I also will not write about:

minor characters

actual animals x humans

excessive abuse/torture being romanticized

anything to do with "butch breaking" or detransitioning

race play

sexism

I reserve the right to refuse any part of a commission that might have aspects I have not thought of that are brought up upon request.

Can I commission a part two to a story you already wrote?

Sure! You can request an additional part to any of the stories that I have already made, or an "AU" like what ended up happening with the My Best Friend's Werewolf Brother series.

Can I commission stories with my own OCs?

No, however you can ask for a type of character. Such as:

a chubby main character woman

a FtM reader

an Omega

etc

Can I commission fanfiction?

No. However you can still request them here on Tumblr, such as the Beauty and the Beast posts or the post about Deathclaws from Fallout.

Where will it be posted?

I will send it to the commissioner first so you are able to read it, and let me know if there are any (minor) changes that you would like done. Afterwards, I will make the official post here on Tumblr, Ko-fi and Patreon.

Where can I pay?

Commissions are available under the Commissions tab on my Ko-fi here. Don't forget to tell me what exactly you're requesting and double check the length you're purchasing.

Is there anything else I should know?

I only have 25 slots open at any time. However, as soon as I finish one, I will have another one open up. This is just to prevent me from having too many projects with the same deadline at any time.

To restate, I reserve the right to refuse and refund a commission at any point for any reason. If I have not sent it to you for review within the specified time frame for each length of story, reach out to me. I will either offer you a refund, a store credit for another story, or upgrade your current story. This will be suspended if we have had previous discussions on a different timeline, or if at the time of purchase, I have longer than usual posting times.

I will also tag your Tumblr profile (if you would like me to. Please let me know when you are sending me the information about the commission) so you are notified immediately when it is first publicly posted.

Been thinking and..

It'd be fun to do book commissions right? Where instead of just one shots we could make a story together that basically YOU make up and I just write. You can whatever you want however you want it if you pay.

Considering I'll need the money for when I rehabilitate further I love dough but even when I do eventually heal I'll still do commissions. Usually I fold to do requests just to get more attention but I'm gonna stand my ground this time.

So if interested in working with me for multiple periods of time just to get the story done then come and chat with me.

Prices would be based off my commission sheet already but to give a few examples of how I see this going lets say you want a 10 chapter story with 500 words each chapter. By the end of the book (chapter ten) that'll be 5,000 words which in total for what it is the whole book would cost $50.

Example 2:

10 chapter story with 5,000 words each would be $550.

Basically I'm doing my current prices by ten for these examples so you all should do that too when picking word count AND chapters. I'll allow up to 30 chapters though depending on circumstances and such this could be a monthly between me and you, the buyer.

More Examples:

5,000 words per chapter for a 20 chapter book would equal $1,100 by the end of the book.

5,000 words per chapter for a 30 chapter book would equal $1,650

Now I'm only going to say this once! If you don't have the money either wait till you do or find someone who will help accommodate you. I wish you luck on that.

You can set the timing!!

Granted at minimum these can be done by a month but be prepared for bigger orders to take just a bit more time than the smaller ones. With that said bigger stories could take longer than just a month but it all depends of course on how I'm feeling, the story we're making, characters, etc etc. Honestly you can keep up with me at any point and time and check in on the progress of things whenever you want.

~

I only take cash up front and before I start new chapters so you'll pay for the first, I'll show it to you when I'm done with it and if you want to continue you'll go ahead and pay for the next chapter and we can repeat that process. For people big banking though you could pay it all up front and I'll do everything without waiting on anything.

You can also post your story on your OWN account as long as you mention me (@ me) so people can find my account. Either you'll post it or I will and I'll mention you in the story as the one who paid for it. Either way is fine.

A lot of this stuff will take communication and adjusting, especially since this is my first time taking a step like this but if you all are willing to be patient with me I promise I'll make your story as perfect to you as I can.

Anyway,

I think I explained what I needed to BUT if confused anyone and everyone is always allowed to hit up my ask box or dm me personally.

Options available:

10 chapter story

20 chapter story

30 chapter story

Prices WILL change and WILL vary based on original pricing time word count of the chapters.

Available:

Canon x Readers

Canon x ocs

OCS x OCS

Canon x canon (depending on if I also like the ship or not.)

For more information look at my commission sheet HERE and if you have any questions PLEASE ask them. Considering commissions like these will make us partners for a while I want to make sure we both know exactly what we're doing and hoping into because I DO NOT allow refunds.

Let's have fun guys considering that's all fanfic is about! I also do art commissions but currently I'm more focused on the writing though if you want art you can always commission that as well.

If you've made it this far thank you for reading! Reblog, like and share if you can't give me money but still want me to grow my platform.

Everyone PLEASE have a lovely day!

with it being travel season:

let me give you a small nugget of advice from someone who has been in the hotel business for about half a decade now. do not, and i repeat, do NOT booking with a third party site if it can be avoided. i’m talking about expedia, booking.com, priceline, hotwire, etc and so forth. ‘and why not?’ you may ask. and let me tell you why. 1 - when you book third party, you are at the bottom of the totem pole. you’re paying whoever you booked with, not the hotel itself. while you might be paying $109 for a room, the hotel will only receive a fraction of that (the rest goes to the 3rd party). so if you have special requests, want to be in a certain location, want a certain room type, chances are you’re going to be the last person on the list.

2 - on the subject of payments: when you’ve booked through a 3rd party, you’ll usually prepay for your reservation. which means you pay them the full amount for your stay before arriving at the hotel. well, let me tell you something: HOTELS CANNOT REFUND THIS. on property, we cannot refund ANY of the money that you paid to them, so it all goes through WHOEVER you booked with.  grandma died and you can’t make it? sorry, we already took the deposit from expedia, you’re going to have to call them. you had a problem with your reservation and want some money off? sorry. you’re going to have to go through expedia. then begins the LENGTHY refund process, which can take DAYS depending on the site and the property itself. i’m not saying that it’s impossible to get a refund but it’s a hassle for all parties involved, and let me tell you that it sucks being out of hundreds of dollars due to unforeseen circumstances.  3 - adding on to that. we CANNOT CHANGE YOUR RESERVATION ON PROPERTY. you need to change your dates? sorry, no can do. call expedia. you need to cancel? sorry, can’t do it. call expedia. you found a better rate online and want us to match it? guess what: we can’t. so, what are your options? 1 - always call the hotel directly and MAKE SURE YOU SPEAK TO THE FRONT DESK. when you hear ‘press one for reservations’ IGNORE IT. that will send you to central reservations, they deal with hundreds of properties a day depending on the franchise. wait until it gives you the option to speak to a front desk agent, or when it says ‘for all other questions, please stay on the line...’ that will take you to the property. 2 - some properties (not all, so remember this when you’re travelling) offer price matching, without the ridiculous fees. be sure to ask (POLITELY) when you’re on the phone. it’s not always an option, it all depends on the property. 3 - if you travel a lot (or even if you don’t), sign up for their rewards program (IHG, Marriot, Hilton Rewards, etc), general rule of thumb is that you earn 10 points per dollar you spend, and those points can be used not only for free nights, but most chains have catalogues where you can buy gift cards, gifts, exchange for mileage points, etc. most reward programs are free of charge, and it’s amazing how quickly those points rack up if you spend a lot of time travelling. 4 - the most important point: be polite to whoever is assisting you at the hotel. 9 times out of 10, if someone is polite and treats me like a human being, i am MUCH more willing to knock a few dollars off of a reservation, at least within my powers as a front desk agent. remember: these are just based on my own personal experiences. each property is different.  but almost all hotel employees will tell you: don’t book third party.

ATTENTION TO PEOPLE WHO PRE-ORDERED THE CHIHIRO FUJISAKI FIGURE FROM CRUNCHYROLL AND ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE ORDER TO SHIP

CRUNCHYROLL WILL NOT BE FULFILLING EXISTING PRE-ORDERS

I’m not sure how many people are affected by this, if it’s only people who ordered in a specific time frame, or people who pre-ordered and bought other items in the same order, or people from Canada, or another specific thing to my case, but if you or someone you know has been waiting for the Chihiro figure (or another pre-order figure/order made around Nov 2022-Jan 2023) from crunchyroll, do not wait for it to be sent out and instead send them an inquiry about it HERE (Select E-Commerce, Crunchyroll Store, then Where Is my item).

First I sent them an email asking for an update as they still hadn’t shipped my figure, the Chihiro figure wasn’t listed on their currently delayed list, the figure is currently listed as being in stock and ready to buy, and with no update from them I was starting to feel like I got scammed.

Here is their first reply (I sent my initial inquiry August 13, so 10 business days to reply):

Troy (Crunchyroll) Aug 25, 2023, 12:12 PM PDT Hi [name], I appreciate your patience and I do apologize for the long wait. We are currently experiencing a larger amount of requests than usual. Unfortunately, the recent store update created a few discrepancies that we're currently addressing, and your order could not be shipped. I would like to suggest that we cancel the unshipped order and issue a refund this way you may repurchase it. In the meantime please accept the following $10.00 coupon code due to this inconvenience: CX-NWVVH5ZVG429 Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. If there's anything else I can help with, please feel free to let me know! Troy Customer Service Team Crunchyroll

They are claiming that their warehouse move and store update has caused them to lose orders (I'm a computer scientist here to tell you this is something that couldn't happen accidentally, and at this point I could still view the order completed page from an incognito window with all the order info so it clearly was not lost), and instead of reaching out to people who pre-ordered they are waiting for people to cancel and re-order. They also do not include any specific numbers for the proposed refund, and as this order was split with one small item already sent to me I had no idea how they would handle the refund.

I sent them an email back explaining how ridiculous of a process that is, as well as when I ordered the figure I used a coupon that no longer exists, so they were suggesting I spend more money (and this is including using their $10 off coupon) to get something I pre-ordered even later. I explained that I want them to just send me the figure I already paid and waited for, but if that can’t be done I would only be comfortable in cancelling and re-ordering if I am properly refunded and can purchase the figure at the original price I paid for, stating the exact price points.

Their next reply:

Troy (Crunchyroll) Aug 29, 2023, 10:52 AM PDT Dear [name],  When we offered to reorder the item, we intended to honor the old price that you have paid initially for the item/order.  Please note that you won't be pushed back in the order queue, furthermore, you should be put higher in the queue since the order will be registered in the new system that we are currently operating with.  We do apologize for the inconvenience, but after our system migration, some old orders were affected and delayed. That is why we are offering different solutions/workarounds to make the fulfillment process faster for our customers.  Please let me know if you would like to proceed. In case you agree, we will gladly issue a full refund, and after you replace it we will honor the old price in case there will be a difference.  Looking forward to your reply!  Troy Customer Service Team Crunchyroll

Strange how things suddenly went from “could not be shipped” to just “delayed” and only now they are mentioning honouring the original sold price. Also strange how they are still not using any numbers, arguably the most important piece of information when discussing refunds. And I have no clue where the “that’s why we are offering different solutions/workarounds” is coming from because they weren't offering solutions, they waited until I reached out and was content with leaving me in the dark indefinitely while they took more orders for the figure they claim can’t be shipped out.

I expressed as much in my reply and restated how the refund should go down with exact numbers. I also stated that I still feel as if I’m being scammed and that if they can not guarantee a proper refund and a fair re-order price that I would rather seek a refund through my credit card company.

Their final reply gave a surprising good end:

Troy (Crunchyroll) Aug 30, 2023, 9:18 AM PDT Thank you for the update!  I've just refunded the charge for the order, however, I did not cancel it. It can take 1-2 business days for PayPal or 3-5 business days for your credit card to process the refund. If you used the payment method Sezzle, refunds can take up to 5-10 business days to appear on your statement. In the meantime, I have asked the warehouse to send a replacement package. Please note that we usually do not provide such service, it was done as a one-time courtesy.  n case you do not receive a tracking number in the next 7 days, please get back to me so I can further assist you. Thank you for your patience. Looking forward to your reply!  Troy Customer Service Team Crunchyroll

I have been refunded the full amount (including the $7 of the small thing they already sent). I’m raising an eyebrow at the order being refunded but not cancelled and the replacement package they are sending, but I’m hoping it’s just the figure so I can have my girl and move on from this (but also like…………. They’re just going to send it for free after all this? doubt.jpeg, but also wtf else could it be). Either way I got my money back and the figure is available at other stores now so I can walk away happy.

If you need to reach out to Crunchyroll and need help wording any emails, send me an ask/dm and I’ll help you. I have every email I sent saved, except the initial inquiry sent through their form, but I remember what I said more or less, and don’t mind sharing them for others to use the wording (I didn’t include them here in this post bc they have a few typos and this post is long enough already lol)

@incognitajones Something with Rose, and "persistence"

(mneme: I Apologize For Everything About This | have a?? snippet?? prequel?? snippet? from the caf au (i.e. in-universe coffee shop au) that I need to update)

Something with Rose, and "persistence"

BEEP  "Miss Tico, You Are Receiving An Message." BEEP  "Miss Tico, You Are Receiving A Message." BEEP

Rose curled into a ball and burrowed deeper into her bed. Maybe, just maybe, if she ignored it, whoever it was would hang the kriff up.

BEEP.  "Miss Tico, You Are Receiving A Message. Alas, it persisted.

Rose growled as she began to grope across the nightstand for her watch.  "Please tell me the caf shop is on fire or something utterly dire to be worth calling me at--" she squinted at the clock. "900 hours in the kriffing morning"

"Uh....this is Finn. Finn Skywalker from the other day." "Who," she replied groggily.  "....Finn Skywalker. Ah the guy, who came by and asked about kaf beans--?" "Spiran, dark roast; Rishii, blond roast; Rishii, whole beans; pre-ordered a bag of Lamareddian beans due to shortage," she rattled off absent-mindedly as she rummaged around for a holopad. Where the kriff did she put it? Maybe Paige was right and she should stop doing accounts before bed. "Handsome posh looking man, requested the selection claiming that 'He knew nothing about caf beyond he was fairly certain his aunt and his cousin have somehow replaced their blood with it.' PAIGE WHERE DID WE PUT ORDER FORMS--"

"So, you think I'm handsome," replied the voice on holocomm.  "No, that was referring the customer," she grabbed the holopad from Paige who walked in--far far too awake for this time of  day--and scrolled through orders that were processed yesterday. "Skywalker, F." "The F stands for Finn--" "Yes, that's nice. What do you want, Mister--" "Finn, the one you called handsome, is fine." At this point, Rose's mind and mouth finally came into alignment. She debated burying herself in the sheets again and praying This Was A Bad Dream. "Kriff."  "No, Finn," the voice--Finn. Finn Skywalker, or customer who is about to ask for a completely valid refund. -- replied. "I deeply apologize Mr. Skywalker. Completely understand your disappointment in the utter lack of professionalism that was just shown. I assure you the quality of our goods far exceeds my personal failings and--" Rose replied, frantically trying ways to figure out how to recover from this. "Do you like crepes?" Rose blinked. "Excuse me?" "Crepes, Klatoonine to be exact? They probably have other kinds as well?" "I don't hate crepes?" "Would you be....interested in getting crepes with me? In like three hours? My treat?" "Uh sure---" "Great! I'll send you the address! See you soon then." CLICK Rose stared at her holocomm, trying to process what just happened, as Paige ambled in with two bowls, fragrant steam wafting from both of them.  "I got a comm," Rose said, taking the offered bowl from her sister.  "I thought we had a comm at the shop." "We do," Paige said between bites of egg stew and rice. "He asked if you were single, and I said I could do one better and gave him your holo." "Ah, okay---WAIT WHAT THE KRIFF PAE!"

[weirdhasanxiety]

So. Hey, I’m back, just not with a drawing as per usual, apologies.

A warning to artists doing comms:

TL;DR: When doing comms, check email addresses, don’t forward any money before you’ve received any(or just don’t forward any at all), and ask for details of your commission to the commissioner.

I got scammed out of 200 USD on Instagram the other day.

I usually don’t do comms(because online money exchange is risky and I’m just not familiar with it), but a guy called Fred James(likely a randomly generated name) messaged me asking if I would be willing to do a drawing of his kid’s dog for 300USD.

I had some time, the guy’s dog was cute, and even after me saying ‘no, you don’t need to pay, I’ll just doodle something up for you’ multiple times he insisted, and me being the pushover I am I said ‘okay, I’ll open a PayPal’.

I did that, and he said he’d sent the 300 over. Then an email popped up, saying that for ‘verification’ the guy needed to send an additional 200 over and I needed to refund it to get my 300, and I actually did it.

I was panicking about this over on discord, and another artist who did comms pointed out that this might be a scam, and I double checked the email addresses. One from PayPal saying that I’d added a card to my PayPal, and the other saying that I needed to give the guy 200.

They were different(though very similar). It was a fucking scam.

I was angry, and I felt guilty over it for days.

Another email from the same fake address came the day after asking me to send an additional 300 over. I forwarded it to PayPal’s phishing address, deleted it and the other two fake emails, and just went to crochet to try and feel better about this whole shitshow.

I really hate how this guy took advantage of my unfamiliarity with commissions and PayPal, and because of this I doubt I’ll be doing any comms in the future, and my relatives(and my parents) have told me to take all my art off the internet, stop using social media and just… stop. With online art.

As seen with this post, I’m not going to do that, because I like sharing my art with people, and I’m not doing it for profit, anyways. I got greedy this time. I’ll not make that mistake again.

In hindsight, all the hints were there. When I asked the guy about what style he wanted, he didn’t answer. When I asked what his son’s name was, he didn’t answer. When I refused payment, he insisted, and he told me to give my name despite it being not necessary for PayPal transactions.

The fake emails he sent me had my name, and I know I’d given him my email as well, which is why the emails had my name and looked so official.

The emails’s images were all missing, too, and the copyright thing at the bottom said 20xx-2022. That’s another thing I missed.

I’m putting this out there, because I’ve checked my message requests on Insta, and there were two more people there asking ‘Do you do commissions?’, the exact same thing the scam guy asked me.

There’s nothing wrong with doing commissions. You do art for someone, you get paid, and that’s great!

But please, be careful. Check the addresses of your emails. Ask for commission details. Don’t send money to anyone before checking if it is legit.

(Unrelated to my particular case, but according to some friends, a lot of comm artists receive a percentage after doing the sketch, and the rest after they finish the final piece, to avoid getting scammed)

That’s all, I guess. And I did an initial doodle of the dog, too.

And to think I was so excited. I’m going to be terrified of doing comms, now, fuck.

Fuck you, scammers. Fuck you for taking advantage of us.

And fuck myself for not being careful enough.
