WHO: Mirandaleigh, Mirachan, Miranda



WHERE: http://smokingpen.com/ http://mirandaleigh.deviantart.com/ https://www.furaffinity.net/user/mirandaleigh/

WHAT: Five quick ink sketches in return for a papo allosaurus from her amazon wishlist


WHEN: First made the arrangement in March 2010, asked for an update via FA notes in December 2011, and by email on October 2012 as well as in a journal on her FA page.

EXPLAIN: Okay, in 2010 she made a journal offering five sketches in return for objects from her wishlist.  I purchased one and sat in to wait.  For the past two and a half years I've contacted her...three times I think asking for updates and received nothing until I asked on a recent journal here: 
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50799487/stuff/MirandaLeigh/MirandaLeighSS1.png and here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50799487/stuff/MirandaLeigh/MirandaLeighSS3.png
And continuing in the journal itself: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3908827/ Dunno if AgentKira is just a sockpuppet or what, but I blocked them because....it just ain't worth a flamewar.

It's only twenty bucks, I'd accept a refund gladly. It's just..the principle of the thing. Being patient, getting no response, then..just...how she handled it when I asked in public.  Anyhow, if I left anything out, I'll edit in more screencaps.

UPDATE: Received email from Miranda : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50799487/stuff/MirandaLeigh/MirandaLeighEmailCap01.png I do not know how I should proceed.

"Id love to refund you just to get you out and away, but thats not how life works."

That is exactly how life works. If you can't get the art done/are claiming that you want to do things to spite the commissioner (even if you won't actually do that) then yeah it's absolutely time to refund.

That commission journal is so sketchy! I could never knowingly get into an agreement where I have to pay upfront and I won't get anything for a MINIMUM of 6 months with no way to cancel.

I know...half those sketches were going to be gifts for people I've lost contact with. I'd honestly prefer the refund.

That statement erked me too.. If you have no desire/time to do the commission, contact the customer and let them know that you are having a hard time and offer a refund. I have done this before, and I have had those willing to wait longer, and those who accept the refund. This should not be that big of an issue. Its simple business ethics. You are paid for a product, if you do not deliver, the customer is entitled to a refund.

I am also bothered by her saying "All you've managed to do is to completely sour me to your commission, so when the time comes and I work on it - even at my best, I'm going to be thinking about how completely irrational and rude you were, and how I'd 'better get this over with'."

That just hits a spot where I would be uncomfortable seeing the product she would produce now that she is so sour with the commission.

"You won't get a refund, and now that you've raised an issue I'll ensure that your product is awful."
