I honestly thought raising my prices would net me fewer commission submissions. I got more. I got more, and they were all really banger ones. Choosing which ones to accept and which ones to reject didn't feel good. (In the future I may need to go back to a FCFS system.) So, I decided not to reject any of them! Last time I did that my queue took me several months to go through. This time around, though, I came up with the best solution I could think of: splitting up the workload.
I'm accepting all the commissions I got sent, but I've divided them up into two groups: February and March. The February group I'll aim to complete this month, while the March group will be completed next month. You can see which group you're in on my Trello here: https://trello.com/b/wdPZ1iPg/exs-commission-queue I'm not super stoked about the idea of making people wait longer to get their commission done, but at the same time, let's be real here: I'm currently finishing out the commissions I accepted in October of last year. Two months instead of one would be a huge improvement in my turnaround.
If you're in the March group but requested an immediate invoice, I'll get in touch with you soon to figure out how to handle it. If you have any questions, complaints, or want to modify your slot in light of this, feel free to contact me!
