tl;dr: Sev needs a new computer. It's old, slow, and doesn't understand scrolling sometimes. Just today I had to restart it because the delete/backspace/arrow keys all decided to take a vacation: it's the beginning of the end.
All of the money I earn doing commissions this round will go directly to a new laptop. This'll help me write more, be more active in Discord and other places, and be much more productive with paid work. Some estimating with a friend has revealed that I can get exactly what I want for around like $700-$750, so that's my eventual target.
I still have commissions left from the first round: 3 short (which I will deliver before starting anything new) and 2 longer projects that I'll work on in the background. Apologies for taking so long, and please know I'll wrap those up before starting Round 2. I intend to deliver them by the end of the month.
Last round I took a whole number of commissions at once and overwhelmed myself, which is why I still have some to deliver here in September. This round, I'll be taking commissions in a limited queue. Once the queue is empty, I'll post again and open up another round. I'll also post periodic updates on the standing of the queue just to keep interest alive. I will also be keeping my current WIPs moving, because I also learned that I need projects of my own as well as commissions or ADHD brain will self-destruct. Basically: I will be slow and careful with your commission, and I'll deliver top quality, and you won't be getting it back in like 3 days.
Commission Notes
Details are under the cut. If you're curious, here are the works I've delivered for Round 1. My pricing structure has changed somewhat because I discovered I spent a lot of time on commissions -- I hope the work shows that. You can see the rest of my recent work here.
If commissions aren't for you right now but you want to help influence what I work on in the background, consider my Patreon -- for $5/month you get to vote (Fridays) on what project I focus on for the next week, and (if i get more followers) sneak peeks as well.
And if you're as broke as me but still want to help out, please reblog on Tumblr or Twitter, or repost whatever sassy little graphic I'll end up making for DW. Every little bit of extended audience helps!
And a BIG THANKS to everyone who commissioned me last round, or donated to help me out, or helped spread the word, or supported me during word sprints, or seriously watched me write smut in a GDoc while eating popcorn and cheering, or yelled at me to make words, or sent me pictures and videos as rewards, or otherwise made me smile, laugh, or drink copiously during this time. I appreciate your patience, your fandom love, and your generosity.
NOW DO IT AGAIN IM BROKE
