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.

This vibe sounds really cool, and I like what you've already got going with the current layout. I can definitely work on making something better for you, though, that fits the vibes more. I think I'll start with a faux-splash layout, that way if you decide during the process that you like it better as a splash page, we can easily transition it over.
Let me know if there's any particular imagery you'd like to use! For now, I can use the one on your current layout, even if it's just as a placeholder. But if you'd like something different and aren't sure what, I've got a lot of copyright-free sources I can thumb through to find something else.
Anyway, this character looks really cool! Gimme a few days and I'll come back to you with a mock-up. Thanks! ♥

Some color pallet choices to work with: greens, reds, blues (more sky blue than darker blues), honey/gold, brown

I changed the font you were using from Eagle Lake to Protest Revolution. It seemed to fit the vibe more? So let me know if you like that. I also removed the body's scrollbar to give it a better "splash page" appearance, but the page does still scroll. That's a very "form over function" move, so do let me know if you'd like to keep it.
Anyway, I just wanted to know what you thought about it before I continued any further. We can flip this to something else entirely if you want. Just wanted to check in. Thanks! ♥

- Love the splash page w/ scroll functionality. No change there. I'm on a Mac so the default scrollbar is still visible, so I don't think you need to stress over whatever magic you're working on removing it, lol.
- Looks great on both mobile and laptop! Well done!
- I love the blurred background effect over the navigation/links, but is there a way to do it without the little dot grid thingy there seems to be?
- Like you said, custom text font size should be bigger, but overall I like the placement of it.
- I prefer Eagle Lake over Protest Revolution. PR is a good font but it matches more Eursulon's canon mate's vibe than his own, I think.
- Could the background color on the entries be a little more green, rather than the tan you've got? Maybe #c6d4ba for a hex color. And maybe medium/dark brown for the links instead of green?
- For once, I think I would prefer sharp corners over rounded ones on the entries.
- I don't know if this will work with the way you've done the navigation module across the top, but is there a way to keep the dreamwidth control bar accessible? If not always visible, maybe appearing on hover like it does in the layout I'm using currently? That's one function I prefer to keep if possible.
no subject
- Since you get the default browser scrollbar, anyway, I went ahead and put it back lol.
- The dots are gone! It was a texture to emphasize the blur effect, but the blur alone seems good enough.
- I made the font size bigger on the custom text, but I'll make it so you can easily adjust it on the layout without digging through the code, in case you want a different aesthetic later.
- Eagle Lake is back! I also made the font a little bigger for the link and nav module? Let me know if you want me to put that back to how they were. (I'll make the font size smaller on mobile if it's causing a problem, though.)
- The colors of the entries and links changed! Links also behave differently on hover.
- The corners are sharp again!
- And the control bar is back! It messes up a little bit of the mobile layout, so I'm going to play with that more later. Def let me know what you think of the styling, though. I was playing with making it similar to the entries instead of the link modules.
I might add a slight gradient to the entry backgrounds to make it pop a little more? I'll try that out, anyway. They seem flat right now, but we can keep the flat look if you like it. And I'll up the font size in the entry content, I think.
But anyway, I'm glad you're liking where this is going.

- I especially like the different levels of blurriness in the control bar versus the navigation strip. Control bar looks great.
- Font size is perfect. Very happy with the Eagle Lake. Would definitely appreciate making the layout easily adjustable/customizable, but I trust you bc you're always so good at that.
- Love the link hover effect on entries. Well done.
I'm interested to see what a gradient effect on the entries would look like. Not sure if I'd be into it, but if you want to give it a try, we can see! I agree that the entry font size could do to be a little bigger.
Really happy with where this is going, A+!
no subject
I also keep forgetting to ask. Would you like the "Top of Page" link? I currently have it removed, but we can easily add it back in.
no subject
No need for a top of page link, I think scrolling back up will be easy enough.
If it's not too much/too late, could I add in a request for something interesting for blockquote formatting? Just like a slightly darker background or outline or something. I always really enjoy that effect.

Thank you so much, this whole process has been great from start to finish.

Anywho, I wrapped up the layout. You should be able to give it a thorough look over now, so let me know if you find any issues with it, big or small. Otherwise, whenever you've got time, you can send over the payment and I'll DM you the code with instructions and everything. But yeah, if you see anything or want anything else (like maybe some HTML for the custom text itself like you have on your current layout), just let me know.
Off topic, but I love the PB you picked for this character.
