Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Okay, first time ever making a post so I apologize in advance for any errors. 

Basically, my close friend had financial difficulties and opened commissions to help her get by. I'm also struggling with money but I had a bit saved, so I asked for a slot and paid up front. It was only about £15 when converted, which was do-able for me, and good value for the work she does. 

I paid for this in April of last year, and she still hasn't done it. 

The asshole part comes in when I tried to chase her up about it, because she reopened commissions again without ever finishing mine. I messaged to ask if she was going to finish mine, and she said she lost a lot of files in a computer error, and that university had basically taken control of her life. She says she still has the reference pictures on her laptop, so I have no idea if it did get lost in the error or if she never started it. 

She seemed upset and annoyed in these messages. 

I said I understood, quickly reminded her what I wanted, and implied I wanted it finished before changing the subject because I hate confrontation. This was in November. 

Am I the asshole for wanting to remind her again to finish my commission? I'm not usually the type to care but her re-opening commissions whilst mine has been abandoned for nearly a year has pissed me off a little.
