There’s been a change to the Ubercross homepage in the last 24 hours… users will now see a link to a commissions page. Want a giant crossword of your very own, with a customized appearance and vocabulary? Well, if you’ve got the cash to burn, this is your lucky day!
As I admitted yesterday, this is a pricey option—grid, answers, and clues are roughly $500 each. In the current market, this strikes me as a fair price for the intensive, specialized labor involved, but I know it’s not a casual expense for most people reading these words. So I don’t expect to be flooded with clients. Indeed, if I did get a flood of, say, fifty clients, I’d have to turn some of them away with refunds! Here’s hoping, though, that a handful of patrons find this one-of-a-kind service to their liking.
