Resources: My Background Drives & Commissions (Art & Background) & feedback/reviews

With the forums closing down, (and my old threads now archived because I kept forgetting to keep them alive) I thought it a good idea to pop this thread up so that those who want to make sure they keep note of all resources, can scrawl these down too, or follow me on Instagram.

So… I have been making backgrounds now for a while. My commissions are pretty much ALWAYS open, unless I have a long list to get done, when I will take a temporary pause. My style is more along the lines of a realistic approach, rather than episode-style. However, I do have a drive that will be gradually updated with a more drawn/arty style in due course too. My prices are for LIFETIME access, so just a one-time payment.
I often open up a message box on my Instagram stories where my followers can make suggestions/ideas on what they would like to see added
All content in my background drives comes with the corresponding overlays and in some cases, optional ones too.
I also hold giveaways too, prizes including free backgrounds, drive access and art pieces.

With that all noted, here are some examples, these are not all recent, so for more of my work, head on over to my Instagram: @ cheyaraskadi_writer

Proofreading and Critique

Hello :slight_smile:

I forgot to bump my old thread and so it was closed :see_no_evil: So, here is a new one. I decided to also add some other services here now, so do scroll to the bottom for more info!

As some of you know, I have been proofreading for a while now, and have had some lovely satisfied customers leaving their comments on my old thread. I do enjoy being able to help others where I can. I know that it is a tricky thing sometimes to try to proofread your own work as you go as it is easy to miss minor errors as your eyes and mind skip over them as you work. On top of that, Episode can be tricky with catching glitches and coding errors on branches when you are skipping back and forth on your script, so it is always helpful to have that extra set of eyes that can catch those things that you miss.
That is what I would like to help you do!

Due to my own work and my busy home life, my schedule can be very crowded so I do these in my free time. I provide as much depth and detail as possible to these reviews/feedback documents as I can, but this can be a timely process and it is for that reason that I do charge a fee. I try to keep the fee as low and fair as possible, but have in the past spent multiple hours working on a single document, logically, that adds up so I hope that you can understand that I aim to give you the best deal that I can whilst also valuing my own time. Because of this, I have also split my services to make things more affordable for those with limited funds, who still want some thorough checks.

**Please Note: This is NOT a pay-for-reads service! **
My prices are in my currency of GBP! – Payment is to be made upfront and can be made via PayPal (Ko-Fi if agreed due to buyer not having PayPal) any transaction fees are to be covered on the buyer’s end
Please DO NOT make any payments until your slot has been confirmed

On that note, onto the important stuff:

All chats are non-obligatory. So, do not hesitate to reach out, you are not committed to purchasing any service. :slight_smile: x

I may be around on Discord sometime, but it has never been something I have used, so not sure yet lol. Seems a tad blah to me :rofl: But if you are unsure of anything, you can reach out here until this site closes, and always open to chat on Instagram, again that is: @ cheyaraskadi_writer

All the best!

Hey, not at the moment, no. Used to, and it may indeed return when I have more time to add some content again.
