Sep. 3rd, 2015 07:27 amStill awaiting the finishing touches to chapter 4 of Madoka's fic. In the meantime, though, I have created a spot for others to write their own interactive stories on Writing.com, which I will link to at the end of the chapter and from TV Tropes & Idioms (once I create a page there).

It seems that disk 1 of Senran Kagura: Ninja Flash is defective. Gonna need to return to the library this weekend to report that.

The reason I started Job Offers four years ago, was to provide an outlet for others specifically to post requests for stuff they'd like drawn or written up and reach out to multiple people at a time instead of having to PM individual artists (hence also the name). Before I established it, I had requested most of what I wanted on a group called Point Commissions, but something happened there that I don't remember offhand, and I looked around for other groups to go to instead. Most of them (at least at first glance) seemed like they only accept commission sheets (to describe capabilities and prices), and I didn't want to be one of those people who left comments saying "Draw this for me, pretty please?"
To this day, I have consistently denied requests to offer skills and prices. In the beginning, I had also denied requests to showcase anything that wasn't specifically requested in the group, so as to give people an incentive to take other people's in-group requests before they can show off their skills. Even Point Commissions has a rule that you can only submit commissions, not just "pretty pictures". However, I eventually loosened up and just allowed anything that was labeled as a commission, since I was the only one whose requested pictures were being showcased (and even then, I had to specifically invite them to submit their work).
The reason I'm bringing that all up, is because I've actually considered whether or not I should allow others to advertise their skills on JO. But then again, unless I'm mistaken, places where people offer real-life jobs, such as bulletin boards and newspaper listings, are not places where people ask for positions that they are looking for, only where the latter go to see if such positions are available.
