Minutiae - Graphics and Themes

Payment and Passwords

  Now, the first thing on the docket for payment is to read the following rules carefully. I'll be hiding the password in there and if you're a first-time orderer, I need you to put it in the form you fill out. Otherwise, your order will be rejected and you'll have to try again. Let's try to stay efficient, shall we? All important things to read will be bolded in case you're in a hurry. You don't want to read ~600 words of text, do you??)

1. Please do not steal my work. I know I say this more times than the average graphic designer, but I have had my work stolen before and I didn't much like it because the thief in question actually accused me of being the one who stole work. I want to keep my profile as drama-free as possible, so kindly do not steal. 

2. Be patient. There will be times where I am very busy and may not respond for a while. I am not ignoring you, and I will get to you as soon as I see your order. Notifications are cool like that. 

3. Don't leave mean comments. Consider the two statements. One statement: "Oh, your graphic looks pretty nice, but there are a couple of things I'd like to change. Could you find a different, more professional font?" This statement is polite, yet still gives me the message of what I need to improve and how. These comments will be accepted, respected, and responded to. The other statement: "This bio is disgusting. How can you even call yourself a designer? This looks like trash, no one should order from you." This statement is cruel and could make other users or myself feel bad about themselves. This comment will be promptly deleted and the commenter will be blacklisted. Any mean comments about other people's orders, such as, "Ugh, you want a unicorn on your book cover? What are you- five?" will be responded to in the same way. Let's just be kind to one another!

(The password is your favorite drink.)

4. Do not request removal from the blacklist or addition to the VIP list. I know this seems kind of mean, but eventually, notifications like these may become annoying for me and hinder my progress in making graphics or updating my books. I mean, do you want 60 notifications simply saying "can I be VIP" while you're trying to update your books? I wouldn't either, so please be lenient with me "-w-

5. Don't be afraid to ask me questions or leave me pointers! I am always willing to give and receive pointers about graphic design and bio building. I don't bite, I swear!

6. Always, ALWAYS give credit. Your credit doesn't have to be everywhere, but if someone asks where a graphic I made for you came from, tell them about me and the shop! Leave my username in the description of your book, bio, or message board!

Failure to follow these rules (except number 5, I can't really blame you too much for that) will result in you being added to the blacklist. Once you are on the blacklist, all your comments will be deleted and all of your orders will be denied. 

I don't want any of you to be on the blacklist, so please follow the rules!

 Now, on to payment. It's quite simple really.

The required payment for the very first order:

 - Add this book to a reading list.

The required payment for the first three orders:

  - A shout-out on your message board encouraging others to order.

  - Writing a positive note to someone you know on Wattpad (give me the username you use when you're done, I will be checking)

The required payment for every order:

- Vote on your graphic's chapter. 

- Keep my watermark on your bio (if you ordered a bio). 

- Do something nice for someone the day of your order (can't be strictly enforced, but it'd be great). 

  Thank you for complying!
