Update: What's been going on so far and my plans on the meantime · 1:19am Apr 27th, 2019
Alright, here's the thing, my ISP (Supercable) hasn't fixed my connection (gone since March 7th) in Terrazas de la Vega (Caracas) so my mom decided to buy a módem from a phone company (Digitel) to get some internet but here's the thing:
In Venezuela, the phone companies that provide internet charges you based on the amount of MB that you use (which can be bad if your internet is slow and if you want to watch videos) and Digitel charges you 1$ x GB. The same way, that Módem costed 75$ plus 7$ on other stuff needed to get it connected.
I'm adding the names of the companies for those who live in Venezuela (or know these companies) so they know with more detail my problems.
Now, last year my mother left to the US to get some money that we can use to buy food, stuff needed to improve our house, pay the internet connection (Supercable charges you close to 10$, which is far too much regarding what a Venezuelan can gain through its minimum wage, which are about 3$) among other stuff but we never thought on buying the módem, so we just spent money aimed for something else to get an internet connection that charges you quite a bit.
So, we decided to to use this investment to do commissions (she does art) and, through that money, recover what we just invested on and some.
Now, for those curious, I'll provide the link to her Deviantart connection so you can watch what she does (she is uploading pictures of her art as we are speaking) and then talk about the price.
I, meanwhile, have decided to get some work through story commission but I don't know how does that work.
So, with that said, I'm here to officially announce that I'm starting to do story commissions once I know how to charge for them. I'll also try to open up a Patreon account for those who would like to pay me so I can dedicate more time to my stories (like Legacy of Kain or The Fractured Unity) which I can think up as I try to create the page. In the meantime, I'll stick to use my college's internet to watch videos, use multimedia or do stuff that would usually charge me a lot of GB... like making a Patreon page.
Also, yes, both my mom and I already have a Paypal account, we just have to prepare it to be used.
In the meantime, I've been listening to the radio to keep tabs on my country and I've come to realize the existence of Virgilio and Maquiavelo (as in, I know more of them than just one or two sayings) and I found "The Prince" in my library, which I'll read once I finish Páez's Autobiography.
Also, I'm still writing the next chapter of Legacy of Kain: Harmony's Rise and, once it's done, I'll write the next chapter of The Fractured Unity and The Redemption of a Never Ending Ambition (just in case I get to June and my ISP still hasn't fixed the connection).

We're still with you, brother.
Good to hear from you again, sorry the finances are a mess, unfortunately that's life for many people.
As far as I know, people mostly commission fetish clop. If you want to make some money with commissions, get ready to write diapers and scat foalcon.
I wish good luck to you and your mom.
Goodest of lucks to you, buddy. With how bad the situation is right now, you're gonna need it.
