Commissioner Beware: Sin.

[adzuki.livejournal.com]

WHO: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/sin.

WHERE: YCH Auction I hosted. Here

WHAT: Icon (edited without permission from mentioned commissioner) and unpaid winning bid for YCH auction.

WHEN: September 15th-Current



EXPLAIN: On Sept. 11th, I was emailed by Sin. for a couple $3 Word Bubble icons I have posted on FA of her character and her boyfriend's. Payment was sent and I had the icons finished the next day. She asked for edits to the icons, wanting a different color background and different hairstyle. It was an easy fix and I had them ready the next day (Sept. 13th) I posted them online and noticed the next day (Sept 14th) that both icons were uploaded on her account, but they were changed, and she had added stars to the icons. I was upset by this, as I do not like my work edited without prior permission, and the edits made could have been done by me. I confronted her about the edits, allowing her to keep the edited icons up but telling her that permission is needed when someone makes edits to my work.

This is also the day that my YCH auction was up, and Sin. was the winning bidder for two slots. My description states I need payment 24 hours after the winning and I made this comment a day late, so I understood if a payment is late. I noticed that payment still wasn't made and left a note on the 16th which was read the same day but left unanswered. I sent a second note early morning on the 18th, warning that non payment will lead to her being barred from future auctions if I didn't receive payment by end of the day. This note was also read with no response, nothing at all.

I would be more than happy to wait for payment had I received a response of some type, but so far nothing.

You realize the problem here is not communicating the troubles to the artist, right? The artist commented:
"I would be more than happy to wait for payment had I received a response of some type, but so far nothing."
and
"Money problems happens and I am very understanding of that, but I am also not psychic and cannot guess if you have forgotten to respond, are having difficulties, or if you were simply blowing me off."
All Sin had to do was ask permission to edit and tell they have problems paying, but they chose to ignore the artist when they tried to reach out to her.

Also please bear in mind that if you ask everyone to be more civilized and professional while commenting in capslock and profanity and completely missing the point, it's quite hypocritical and rude.

I did not ignore her about the icons.
As soon as she sent me an email confronting me, and letting me know how much it bothered her, I instantaneously felt horrible and apologized, and eventually removed my icon even though she allowed it to stay up.

There was no "ignoring" on that part.
There was no intentional ignoring on any part. I frequent check my messages and forget I even had them.

Like I said, I've already apologized, and I'll do it again, I'm sorry. But there's really nothing more that I can do at this point, as much as I wish there was.

"I did not ignore her about the icons. "
That's why the ignoring thing was attached to the payment, sorry if it came out confusing.

Also, intention is not magic.
We get that you didn't mean to, but it doesn't change the fact you did, and I assume if this post hadn't been done, the artist would never had found out that it was an accident.
You have apologized and that is good, but you're not doing yourself any favors by repeating this to almost everyone. I know you want to defend yourself, but that mostly causes to start more drama and arguments, same happens with friends/fans who come to argue on behalf you.
No one is asking you to do anything (except well, maybe pay more attention that you're not ignoring future people), this post is just to warn other people, not to make you do anything.
