summer_jackel. . . but I guess I was wrong.
(This is reposted from a few journals on FurAffinity. It's much snarkier than my typical aspect. I figured that it was worth reposting here even though I am at least a little mellower about the...um, let's just say less well socialized...members of our proud fuzzy community...than some. Because this stuff is worth saying and whoever wrote it to begin with was *funny*. I love furry. Deeply. But we DO have to laugh at ourselves sometimes.)
10. Yes, artists deserve the "ridiculous" prices they charge. Consider the fact that your average pic takes about four hours from sketch to final coloring: if you pay $40 that's $10 an hour. So no, $10 is not an appropriate price for a full-color, full length drawing.
9. Just because they draw pr0n doesn't mean they'll draw your pr0n.
(well if you pay me enough I'll draw almost anything. See 10 above. ;) )
8. Bitching at an artist every hour until they do your commission is not a good way to motivate them.
(People have actually been very gentle with me in this respect; Though I've seen it at work with other artists, I haven't had too many commissioners pester me. Let's keep it this way, universe, shall we?)
7. Just because she's submissive doesn't mean she wants to submit to you. Just because she's domme doesn't mean she wants you as a pet. Frankly speaking, not everyone wants to play with you.
6. It's okay to live and let live. The fact that they don't share your interest doesn't make them a bad person. Pushing your interests on them makes you a jerk.
5. Chatting with someone for five minutes does not mean they love you, nor does it make them your friend, your mate, your buddy, nor even a casual acquaintance.
4. Believing you're actually a dragon in a human body is fine. Thinking this makes you so much better than everyone else out there makes you a narcissistic jerk.
3. It's spelled HUMAN. H-U-M-A-N. If you use "Hyoomon" in serious conversation, you are either a Ferengi or a moron.
2. Buying a commission from an artist does not entitle you to cybor or picz. Buying a book from Barnes and Nobel doesn't entitle you to a free bj from the author.
1. When in doubt, remember Winston Churchill: "A fanatic is someone who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."
