"Oh well the context is we're fandom friends on IM as well and sometimes she talks about being a Poor College Student and I express sympathy and then she links me to her commissions page and asks me to commission her."

I'm sorry, but that is tacky and obnoxious as fuck. I'd cringe if a friend did that once, never mind on a regular basis. You'd be doing her a huge favor if you gently took her aside and let her know that when people sympathize with your situation, shoving a begging cup into their face is not really a good idea.

If you were feeling more blunt, I'd point out that she'd probably be better off financially if she took the time she spent writing fanfic and got a part time job instead. Guaranteed pay.

Passing through flatmeme, I'd gotten the impression somehow commission friend was a parent. But no, she's just another struggling student. Unemployment rates in many places are high, but college students are going to have a much better chance than many, and will probably make bank in a few years anyway. In which case, fuck her, if she's really that struggling, she's going to compromise between her creative ~ideals and making ends meet. Pestering and guilting people into helping you live the creative dream under the guise of no-choice poverty is a dick move.
