Flash Sale!
How this works! Every now and then, I'm going to open up flash sales. This will usually just be for cheap layouts, but there may be other subjects in the future. However, for these flash sales, I'm working on a first come, first served basis. There will almost always be only 10 slots available, so if you're not one of the first ten, you might have to wait until the next sale.
Plurk Layout - $15 *
Dreamwidth Layout - $45
Plurk Layout - $50
Terms:
- One slot/layout per person.
- Only accepting payment via Paypal.
- No DW points for compensation at this time.
- * Most Plurk layouts will likely need the Plurk Jailbreak extension for Chrome to be viewed correctly. This is not a strict requirement, we can make your Plurk layout pretty without it, but it is advised to have.

❖ I missed a sale and don't want to wait for another one!
Fair! I take regular commissions and also have a Patreon for more exclusive content.
❖ When is your next sale?
Whenever I have the time or the inclination. I'm not going to put a firm date rotation on these.
❖ What are your usual prices?
You can check out everything on my commissions page.
❖ What's the turnaround on these bad boys?
Depends, unfortunately. If you're first in line and are asking for a fairly simple code, maybe a couple of days at most. If you're at the end of the line, we might be looking at a few weeks. I'll keep you updated on the time table, and you can always reach out if you have any questions. If it's taking too long, you're free to remove your name from the list. I'll send you a full refund.
❖ Can I take a spot even though I don't know what I want?
Sure! We can do this a few ways.
- You and I can go back and forth and workshop on it. I've got plenty of questions that might help you narrow things down. I'll be working on other commissions while we're doing this, at least until we have something in mind.
- You can just hold on to the slot! Feel free to consider it an IOU on my part for something in the future.
- If you take a slot but don't reply to my messages, that's also okay. The slot will still be there for you (if it's paid at this point). However, if I hear no response by the time I'm done with the other commissions, I may go ahead and open another sale. Your slot is still there, but your space won't take up another. I'll just keep a note that you've got that IOU whenever I hear from you again.
- If I lose contact with you and you haven't paid for the slot after X amount of time passes, a few months or so, I'm going to send you a final notif and drop the commission. No more IOU.
❖ Can I take a slot for a friend/in the name of someone else?
Sure can! Unless this is some sort of surprise, though, I expect to eventually talk to the person this is for. If they say they don't want the commission, I'll drop it and refund whoever sent the money in the first place.
❖ I took a slot on your last sale. Can I take a slot on the next?
Yep! The usual limit is one slot per person per sale, unless stated otherwise.
❖ Where do we send payment? Will you take DW points?
Paypal! If I'm willing to take points, I'll let you know on this post, but that'll be kind of rare.
❖ When do I pay?
At any point you're comfortable with, so long as it's before delivery.

I just really love frogs ok.....
I'll drop you the money on Paypal tonight, it should be coming from lazulinewaves/my irl deadname that we will pretend not to see.
no subject
Anyway, thank you so much! I'll let you know when the payment goes through. ♥

I've found a lot of sources for free frog images and vector clipart and found an artist that did some really cute ones on Freepik. I edited them to be transparent and was wondering what you thought of the art before I started on the layout. If you're not about this kind of design, that's totally fine. We can absolutely find something else.
One
Two
Three
Four
There's a lot more images in this style (as well as just lilies and lilypads and all that stuff for aesthetics), but these are the only ones I edited so far. Just wondering what you think! Thanks!

I also tried out using light blue as the background to sort of mimic water, so wanted to see what you thought of that.
There's a very subtle dotted texture over the background to sort of break it up a bit, so we can change or remove that as you like. And I'm still iffy about the entry header font, but I'll do a little more shopping later.
Anyway! Let me know what you think so far. Thanks again! ♥
no subject
I definitely like the blue better. Maybe with a slightly lighter light blue on the border since it kind of gets lost? This is so freaking cute I'm so excited.
no subject
But anyway! Changed the background color to a slightly darker blue instead of changing the light blue border. I think the frogs pop more that way, but let me know what you think of that. Also changed the texture to something like artsy waves, but I was stuck between that texture and this one, so let me know what you like best (or if it's neither of these and I should look for more dots, lol).
Glad you're liking this so far, though!
no subject
I liked the look/color of the previous font but this is ALSO really good. The previous one reminded me of the goofy frog on the side's tongue. But this one IS more on theme. The more I look at it tbh the more it grows on me lol.
I did notice a bit of weirdness with the tags on the second entry now that I'm looking on my PC at home (vs mobile and work computer). I use up-to-date firefox, and that seems to be where the issue is since it displays fine in chrome
This is what I'm seeing.
no subject
In the meantime, I put in some extra edits in the layout's code to try fixing the issue. It's hard to do without knowing what the problem is, of course, but I threw a couple of darts at the wall to see if something works. Let me know if that's improved it for you.
If you aren't using a skin and this issue is persisting, let me know and we'll try to find the problem.
no subject
It's the DW tag recovery extension for firefox that's doing it. I'm not sure WHY as it shouldn't affect anything like that, it's just a form recovery tool.
If that's the case I'll just have to deal with it, unfortunately.
no subject
Regardless! I'll try to add some "fixes" to the code going forward. I have a couple ideas that might override whatever's going on and put this thing back in place.
I'll do some more work on it tomorrow and send you another update on the design. Hopefully, I'll stumble across the fix for the entry footers while I'm at it.
no subject
First off, I changed up the entry footer entirely to put the tags on top of the other links. Let me know if that makes the issue better for you.
Second, I changed some of the colors on the links, particularly the sidebar and the entry headers. I kind of thought it made the headers pop more with this new font, so I tried it out on the sidebar, too. Also changed the font sizes on both. Please let me know if you like how they were previously better. I also found the font I used on the entry headers before, so I can switch it back if you do find you like that one better.
Third, I moved the fourth frog to the bottom. He only appears when there's a bottom navigation (ie. the Previous and Next buttons), so I added another entry to show him off. If you don't want him attached to the bottom nav, I can stick him on to something else.
Anyway, tell me what you think so far. I think we're getting close to finalizing the look of this. It's probably the cutest layout I've ever made, so I'm pretty happy whichever way this goes, lol.
no subject
The tags being where they are look fine now too, I'm really not super fussed about it but you found a really great solution and I appreciate you going to the extra effort to fix an issue that's really my fault LOL
Sorry I'm only getting to you now, my job has been a hellscape and I was actually out of the office tracking down old documents for like 4 hours today like some kind of extra nerdy Indiana jones.
no subject
Anyway, glad to hear that the tags are behaving for you now! And lol no worries on the wait. You've been getting back to me very quickly over this process and it's appreciated. ♥
