The Pauper's Grave

To the person I was stupid enough to trust as a friend and to hire for a commission:

I can only be so patient with people who call me a "stalker", who walk all over me, test my patience, are so stupid that they think I must not notice they are utterly snubbing me, delete me from their Facebook without a reason why, not ever get around to completing their end of an agreement, and the list just goes on, it really does.

I have sent you enough messages. Enough reminders. Enough friendly notes here and there. I have told you enough times what it is I want. At first, I was discreet. I spaced out my messages, but the more you pushed, the less discreet I got.

This isn't a game. Don't fucking play me. I'm a hell of sore loser and a pretty annoying winner when it comes to matters of people being two-faced, but you already knew that because I have started to sink to your level in the realization that considering how busy you are and giving you space as I have done for a very, very, very long time is just going to make you go:

"LAWL, epic like awesome possum-sauce, that sucker, he actually believed I was going to keep my end. Squee."

Well, fuck that . And if you don't like it, this is your chance to prove me wrong once and for all; keep your word.

Whether or not I believed you (I did, otherwise I would not have made the agreement) is immaterial. We made an agreement. You need to hold up your end. No ifs, ands, ors, or buts. If you need to discuss with me changes to the agreement, snubbing people and acting like you're just busy is not the proper or mature way to do it.

I will not drop this until this has been sorted out accordingly. Meaning, I get what's mine, and you get what's yours, and we leave each other alone after that, since at this point you've made it 110% clear that you don't care to tell people to their face you have a problem with them and that you don't want to be their friend. Being avoidant is one thing, but breaking your word...that's worse than lacking assertivness to actually com-mun-ni-cate.

If you don't have integrity, you don't got jack-all. I'm letting the people on your page know that you've shown a great lack of integrity towards me. Oh, and people, I'd also like to note that Zero prioritizes commissions not based on the time it will take, when she recieved the commission, and so on, but WHO SHE LIKES MORE. So, basically, a commission requested 2 years ago (mine) barely gets touched even when I say "okay, let me just grab the bare-bones from you, then I'll pay you anyways", and after that, still don't recieve a mailing address from Zero, when Zero can send the works, when would be the best time to send her the payment, and so on.

Not a single word. No apology, no "I'm swamped", no "Something's come up, what do you want to do?" Nothing. Just relies on me being a nice-guy and hopes I won't pay attention to it or pay it much mind.

ZERO, this is the last time I am going to tell you on your page; (please) GET BACK TO ME, ASAP. Don't have time? MAKE time. You do for every other person. I am not going to drop this at all until we both sort this out. You have drawings that belong to ME because I requested they be done for ME and until I have recieved them as agreed, YOU will recieve absolutely NO retribution and I will keep every single piece of art of yours that I have in my possession, and if this continues, I may even have to go farther than that.

It is my fucking intellectual property that I asked you to help me improve on. There was never any agreement that you would get to keep said intellectual property.

I don't need to remind you again how I flipped out on that guy that stole your characters. Not that you'd need to use mine to role-play, or that you'd put it up, or rip it off, or use the name, or do a cop-out version of any of the intellectual ideas I shared explicitly for my own use, but the point is, you still HAVE that intellectual property. 'Nuff said. Give me everything you did, then you get your $20 (that's 10 dollars more than we agreed, and considering you did far less than half of the work originally agreed on, you'd be lucky if I paid you $5) as well as the assurance and proof that I will delete and destroy and/or give back anything that is considered your intellectual property.

If you have anything to contest about this OTHER than the tone of my words or your actions, please contact me so we can sort this all out and get it over with. You know my e-mail, and I will more than gladly give you my phone number since I'm presuming you've gotten rid of it. I'd look your phone number up, but gee, I guess I wouldn't want to be a "stalker" to someone who's been pretending I don't exist for as long as you have when they owe me a service.

I'll be watching your gallery. Don't let me catch anything that's not yours.
