Warning to Writers · 2:34am May 25th, 2014
So I've lost about two weeks of time to work on my own stuff. Why? Because a certain user decided to commission me for a fanfic and not compensate me at all. If you want to read in more detail, you can check out my Tumblr post about it. For the TL;DR version, don't take a commission unless they pay half up front.
You know, that guy sent me the exact same message a few weeks ago and I declined pretty politely, now I'm wishing I told him to go fuck himself.
At least your efforts created something, and something that made me laugh, if that gives you any comfort. I'd never seen a burp described as "voluminous and strong" before. That's going in my writer's toolbox, for entirely different purposes.
Bravo to that.

True enough. It's preferable that other people get something good out of it. That's certainly adequate compensation for me.

I mean, you could put that in the theme song:
"A powerful burp
Voluminous and strong
Sharing kindness..." etc.
That's going to be in my head forever.
