gerhard96 - About Requests

Hello everyone, I’m changing the way how I handle requests. I will explain the new system, then the rules. And if you are interested, you can read more detailed explanations at the end.

I now use two separate things: Suggestions and Requests. In short :Suggestion = You give me an idea → I may use it → no guarantee, but it can be quickRequest = You ask for a specific work → I accept it → you give feedback → I will do it, but you may have to wait a long time as I only do request per week.

Suggestions·         Suggestions are idea (mostly from comments)·         I note them in a list and may pick yours when I choose a theme for my next generation·         There is no queue for suggestions and no feedback from me if I choose your·         There is no guarantee that I will ever use your suggestions·         I got total freedom on the creation and can be quick to do

Requests·         Requests are for a specific work.·         You contact me by private message and explain what you would like.·         Once I accept your request, we stay in touch until I start working on it.·         During the generation, I show you some prototypes and you give me feedback.·         This gives you more control over the final result (but consequently require more time on my side).·         Requests use a “first ask, first served” queue system.·         I do one request per week, so there can be a very long delay before I do yours.·         One user = one request in the queue.·         Once your request is finished, you can ask for a new one, but you will have to join the queue and wait again.

Delay of Suggestions vs RequestsAs I publish 4 works per week, I'll have 1 spot for requests, so that leaves 3 other spots for suggestions and my own image ideas. This means that, while suggestions are not guaranteed and I may never do yours, the odds are still somewhat high and it can be quite quick. A request is a guarantee that I will do yours, but you may have to wait a very long time.Rules For Requests

A request is for publication on my account. My goal is to finish the request and publish it, not to generate endless private variations of your favourite theme.

I will show you some prototypes and you can give me feedback, but I am not your “personal prompt generator”.

Requests are totally free, so you don't pay anything to get one.

The request artwork still belongs to me. It is not a trade transaction where you get an image in exchange for money or any service.

A request is for a single work. It can include multiple images, but all under the same theme, published as a single deviation (a “set”).

A set can be between two to fours images, and very exceptionnaly a bit more if theme require it.

You can ask for text on the image. If I add text I don’t do set. It one or other, not both.

You can give me text, but it will have to be worded and have a lengh similar of what I usually wrote. I will refine and rewiord it if I find not in my standard.

I do domination stuff, so your request must have at least some connection with that. I don’t do SFW anymore.

I don't do shota / loli / guro, but I do a wide variety of things. You can always ask, and even if I refuse, I will stay polite whatever your request is. I'm not going to kink-shame you.

I don't do realistic images, nor anime representations of real people.

I don't RP. I don't have Discord. I'm not interested in social stuff.

Sometimes AI cannot generate your request. It is uncommon, but it can happen. If I have doubts about the feasibility, I will do a quick test before accepting it.

Some people ask me to integrate their own OC. I can try, but it is case by case, and most of the time it is a dead end. Don't get your hopes up too much about this.

Sequence images are very hard to do and take way too much time, so I don't do them anymore.

Why I step back to one request per week

Tbh I’m just a random guy: working, doing chores, seeing friends, family. My leisure time - which was gaming, watching anime movies - is now almost totally eaten by generating, publishing AI and maintaining my accounts.I want to get a bit more free time and requests are one of the things that take most of my time. Generating my own images or suggestions is quick, requests are not.Until now I was trying to finish each request I get, just jumping into the next one, hoping I would clear the backlog. It’s been more than a year since I was unable to get down to zero to-do requests. I put a limit (ten max, then five) but it doesn't work for multiple reasons. At the time I wrote these lines, I have 13 requests, which is the most I have ever had. It just feels like a bottomless pit and I have to protect myself.

Having a clear rule and a fixed schedule should be easier for me. One request per week means I know how much time I have to give to requests, and I don't have to constantly think about the backlog. This means that requestors will have to wait even longer than before. Sorry for that, but requests began to feel too much like a daily job for me and less like an enjoyable hobby.

Finally, thank you to everyone who follows me, supports and comments on my work, and simply enjoys watching what I publish. You’re all the best!

I never expected this account to grow this much, and I’m still blown away by how kind people are to me (especially since I publish AI fetish stuff, a recipe for disaster lol).Thank you again everyone!!
