If someone were to donate you 50 dollars to do a chapter of a specific fanfic you have unfinished, would you do it?
the cost of me confronting my past sins is too expensive for anyone to afford
#MORE SERIOUSLY#(i say as i write in the tags precisely bc its less likely ppl would read them)#more seriously there are uh. work ethic vs personal life reasons why i would not continue a fanfic as a commission work#fanfic is smth i do solely for fun and relaxing. turning it into a commission forces it to be work#(meaning i cant Not work on it without constantly dying bc my work ethic demands i complete Anything and Everything that is Work)#which means.... more stress. its no longer something for fun its yet another work thing i gotta do. and i already have too many of those#the only ppl i do commissions of any kind for are friends#none of my works are discontinued. i dont intend on never getting back to them ever#i just need to prioritize other things and not turn fanfiction into yet another thing that stresses me out#the best chances of me getting back to an old work are: 1) just waiting bc i Will get to it eventually#or 2) a friend expressing interest/being invested in it and asking for continuation... bc... i love my friends#but mostly its just that i need to not have such a full workload just to have the privilege to live hahahahha#ask#loopeyfluff#im not joking overmuch when i say its too expensive. i dont have the time to write things i dont have the inspiration for#i dont have the time to write things i Do enjoy either technically but lost sleep is sometimes a small price for emotional contentment#TLDR: just wait itll update eventually even if eventually is ‘10 years later’
