Commission's Ease of Access rework

Hi all, I'm just doing a quick poll of all people, patrons and non, just to get some insight in something I think I may've been fucking up this whole time. 

I often feel like one of the biggest questions I get asked is when my commissions open-- or that people don't know when I'm doing commissions or if they're open yet. 

In the current business strategy, my commissions open monthly: specifically, the friday of the second full week of the month, as close to right dab in the middle of the month as I can get. For patrons, they open 3-days early, aka that Tuesday. The form stays open that weekend and then on Sunday I reach out to commissioners. For example, the form for February commissions opens on the 11th for non-patrons and the 8th for patrons. 

A lot of times however, the way this lines up I fear it may be overly complicated, and leads to a lot of confusion on when the form is actually available. 

The solution to this is simple, change the date to the first of the month, but, being entrenched with the current one I feel as it's going to be hard and there's going to be two weeks there where what would've normally been offered to patrons and non-patrons alike will be missing-- so, that being the case, here are three options. 

1) Do not change the schedule. I'll continue to announce when commissions happen and there is sufficient time between when its announced and closes for you to fill out. 

2) Open commissions on the 1st of the Month starting in March. Patrons will still get 3-days early access, and the form will always close on the 3rd of the month. In the meantime, there would be no February commissions and I would use this time to catch up on the Goobit comic, pin-ups, and other projects. 

3) The same as #2, but instead of no commissions in February there would be very limited commissions in the previous schedule, giving me enough time to finish them while I reset for then the 1st of the next month (which would be, at that time, only two weeks away.)

Thanks all,
