Writerly transbian of low taste and lower morals. Possibly a jackelope. Definitely a cryptid.
Is that too much to ask?

I still am unlikely to commission you as I am flat broke. But at least you'll have me considering it. And if and when I can pay, I'll remember the artists who actually showed interest instead of hit me with formulaic spam.

If you *really* want to get me interested, if you really want to convince me that you genuinely like what I wrote and you *would* like to do art of it for me then SHOW ME YOU ACTUALLY READ IT.

PLEASE don't do this. It's NOT going to earn a commission from me. It's just going to piss me off.

It is impersonal. More, it's outright insulting. And worse, it's the vast majority of the comments being made on my stories, which is not only aggravating, it also leaves me feeling completely deflated.

But for the love of god. When you make a very generic statement that could apply to *any* creative writing you leave me completely doubting that you actually read it. It feels like you're just running around copy/pasting on every new piece to go up and I'm your latest target.

You want me to pay you to do art of my characters.

Look, I get it. We all want to make money through our creative work. I do. I toss Patreon and Ko-fi links on all my writing in the hopes it'll help me make some funds so I can keep doing this.

Did you notice that they are differently worded variants on the same thing? A vague compliment about my writing skills, followed by a vague suggestion of "an idea" you have.

Here's the thing. I get some variant of this several times a week. And it's always the same thing.

LOVE IT.

I've got a bit of a cold myself. You two are making me want to go out and buy Cock & Bull in bulk to clear my sinuses.

I've had mornings like that.
