Maybe this is literally the dumbest question I can ask but lately working on my (still open!) PWYW Commissions + Cheeb Commission orders under unlimited slots has been getting stressful since I really did not expect such a high demand & my sense of time has been fucked lately so...Yeah that's something as well.
So I ask via the poll- Should I consider having a limited slot system? I know they exist, I have seen friends, artists I have commissioned, artists I admire, so many people have limited slots for their commissions and yet for some reason my thoughts say "having a slot system will deter clients and you won't be earning much money!"
I was thinking the limited slots system goes something like this:
1. Limited comm slots gets filled up. Commissions close for a bit until I get all the comms in the slots done. (This will define a "Round" now)
2. Down period time where I get my bearings, work on personal projects (hey fun fact PBFP is coming back in 2024, I swear I will be COOKING STUFF FOR IT) , a little break.
3. Break time is over, reopen the slots.
4. Repeat.
So please answer via the poll, should I have a limited slot systems for my current + any future commissions? Thank you! (POLL IS ANON)

Yeah I have been considering a “waitlist” in the future as one of my Twitter / X moots explained it and to me it would sound like something I would do for comms that will be closed for a while after slots are filled, not like my current planned system where it will come back soon. Like a cycle of sorts.
Though I do like the idea of a pinglist for comms so I’ll consider that!
