As some of you may have noticed (About our commission prices) · 8:35am May 9th, 2019
I realized I never directly addressed this, I had only mentioned that our prices had been updated.
(Prices can be viewed here: http://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/midnightshadows/ )
But I never really went over why we increased our prices a bit. (A fair increase I should say it's not like we're asking an exorbitant amount of money.) The amount of time spent (Average about a week-month on a story) Our average price at the time was around $40 for a full NSFW commission (It's since gone up from that to around $80) The thing is, between myself and Snowy, we split the payment 50/50, so that would have been $20 each, after paypal raised their rates and tax on transfers though it's more like $15 each. (If that.)
At $15 each ($40 split with fees) it just wasn't really worth it to write things like full on clop, diaper, foalcon, and other fetishes and more extreme things. The amount of time we spend on the stories to ensure quality and depth without it feeling like hand on dick content or like we've wasted time on it is too much to ask either myself or Snowy to write for $15 each.
Our prices are now around these marks, note these are reference marks and not exact marks.
SFW: $40-$60
NSFW: $60-$100
Generally NSFW is going to be higher the more kinky it gets and the more fetishes are added. It's only fair.
I do hope everyone can understand why we've had to increase our prices, while we enjoy writing it also has to be worth the time we set aside to do it, we strive to make everyone of our commissioners happy and even though we from time to time take a little longer than usual to write a story we really do put in a lot of effort, more than what we feel we were being paid for.
This change took place around September-December of last year but a few people have asked about it so I decided to make a formal blog post about it.
Thank you for reading and understanding!
