Guidelines

For Requesters...

• DO make sure a studio is open prior to requesting.
  
• DO make relevant requests. If you're seeking art and the studio provides signatures, find a different shop.
  
• DO remember your thank yous and offer credit!
  
• DO be courteous. Shopkeepers fulfill by request -- DON'T make extremely complicated requests or complain about free gifts.
  

For Shopkeepers...

• REMEMBER! Only current members (i.e. have at least one currently active character at 'Souls) may advertise paid commissions in the Talents forum.
  
• DO complete your requests. No one expects you to plan for crisis, but if you're vacationing for a month, wait until you return to open a studio.
  
• DO update your shop -- closings, openings, completed requests, etc.
  
• DO provide clear shop rules. Shop rules are at your discretion and enforcement. Remember: be polite!
  
• DO NOT bump your shop thread more than once per 48 hours of no response.
