More info about shops!

What's going on with the shiny new gil system:

Over here in moogle_workshop, we're going to set up a fanworks bazaar where people can use gil for commissions from other ff_land members! For information on how you obtain gil, check chacusha's post in ff_land here.




1. Information for Buyers

You may choose to either make a fill request from a person's individual booth, or make a moogle_workshop-wide request.

For individual booths, you give the owner a prompt, and s/he decides on whether s/he will accept it. Prompts can be anything you wish: examples are here.

moogle_workshop-wide requests cost 5000 gil. This price is fixed, unlike individual booths. Any member of ff_land may respond to this fill; multi-fills are allowed.

If more than one person is interested in posting the same moogle_workshop-wide request, you may pool your gil.




2. Information for Sellers

People who are interested in filling out others' prompts can set up a shop in moogle_workshop, using the form given below. Each seller gets to set up an individual shop. Put any and all details related to the shop in there - you may wish to add links to previous work, for example.

<b>Username</b>: <b>Fandoms</b> <b>Fanwork Types & Pricings</b> <b>Other Details</b>:

Shop owners may set their own prices, although we have a general pricing guideline here:

Graphics
Small pack of icons = 500 gil;
Simple wallpaper = 500 gil; more at artist's discretion based on how complex the wallpaper is

Art:
A simple piece featuring one character = 1500 gil
Prices may vary depending on the complexity of the prompt and piece.

Fic
A drabble = 200-300 gil,
A short piece (500 - 600 words) = 1000 gil,
Longer pieces (around 1000 words) = 2000-2500 gil
Someone could also offer fic for a certain amount of money without specifying a word count

Moogle Workshop Requests

A request made to the entirety of moogle_workshop, with multi-fills allowed = 5000 gil.


Seller Rewards

You earn 10% of the gil you charge. The rest goes into operating costs.

moogle_workshop-wide requests get a pot of 500 gil, split between the number of people who fill.

Also, we're giving a point bonus for completing fills for others.

Individual fills gain a 10% point bonus, and moogle_workshop-wide fills gain a 25% point bonus once they're posted in moogle_workshop.





3. Other Shop Details

I'll be making a shop post in a few days (presumably after everyone's posted their magnificent backlog of fanwork that's built up over the days game hasn't been on), with a link to this post.

Copy and paste the little form into a comment response to that post, and you're all set up.

If you want to close shop, and/or change your shop details (especially pricing), freeze your thread first with a note saying that you're changing the details, so nobody can pop in and make a request while you're modifying your shop. Then post the new details in a new comment, and I'll screen all the old stuff.

This seems really interesting! XD My comment is about to make me seem dumb though, lolz: if we're interested in having a shop, do we comment to this post specifically? O_O

[glacialphoenix]

Nope - I"m going to link this post so people can read when I put up the shop post proper. I think we should let the flurry of fic calm down a little. ^^:

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

Lolz, that's what I thought...but I just wanted to double-check. :)

So when we make a shop to sell things, if we charge 500 gil for something what we actually get put into our personal pool is 50 gil?

[glacialphoenix]

Yep, that's right! I'll add it once the commission is posted on moogle_workshop (so don't forget to say it's a commission.)

Question: if we want to fill requests but don't plan to post it to MWS, how do we go about notifying you of the transaction?

[glacialphoenix]

Well - since I posted that particular bazaar post, if you comment in it it'll show up as a notification in my inbox, so you could just put it as a reply to the person in your thread. Or if you want to be doubly sure, because LJ eats notifs (curse you, Frank the Goat), PM me with the links?
