Okay so first off, I'm trying to get more stuff done despite the 40 hour work weeks making me want to sleep all day. X3
I'm still working on a few pictures and stories to put up eventually! I'm also in the middle of collaborating a story with someone that's probably already past the 37 pages I recall counting and it's definitely nowhere near finished yet.

I also wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has watched me, commented on something, or favorited something over the last week. It really means a lot to me, but while I do try to reply to all my comments, the tons of watches and favorites might be a little much to shout on so many pages about. I wasn't expecting everyone to like my most recent picture so much! I've also gotten a lot of positive feedback about the story I wrote to go with it, which brings me to the second part of my journal...

So uh...commissions?

For the last few years I've maintained the stance that my work isn't motivated by money and that contributing to the fandom my particular brand of what I do was what was important to me, but I've had enough people asking if I could do story commissions I might finally just relent my stance and start doing it. If people really want ME to write stories just for them I can do a good thing helping there be more vore writing of high quality for others to enjoy as imagined by my commissioners Writing is my natural talent and if I can make a little money off of it then I can recirculate all my profits to get more fun vore art done of Ave misbehaving with his prey like he always does.

So the question is, is my writing marketable? Is there a base of my watchers that want the things I can offer? How much is my writing even worth? You tell me. Is everything below here where it should be or should I adjust it? Did I forget anything?(probably did)

Here's a basic idea of what I've thought up so far:

Commission Types:
-Full Story
-Scene

Full Story: A full story starts off at some point before the vore/eating even happen and progresses forward until it reaches that point, and then can continue for a time even after the events of that point.

-Scene: A scene takes place with just the vore/eating parts and doesn't bother building up to it or explaining what happens later on. These can go very well with vore images(not provided by me) or if the commissioner just wants something quick and cheap.

Content Types:
-Vore
-Eating
-Other?

Vore: I can write oral vore, navel vore, tail vore, cock vore, absorption, soul vore, vampirism, cooking, and any manner of hard vore. I don't have experience with unbirth or breast vore, so see further below if that's something you want.

-Eating: Similar to vore, but just involves stuffing with regualr food.

-Other?: Looking for a different subject to be involved in your story? Want to mix in several things? Talk to me about it and we'll see if it can be done.

On Adult Content

The following stuff is generally going to be fine to ask to be included at no extra cost:
-Romance
-Showing affection through kissing, rubbing, nuzzling, licking etc
-Light sexual activity such as touching of genitalia, providing oral stimulation of genitalia, foreplay contact(females excluded)
-masturbation
-specifically mentioned nudity/removal of clothes
-becoming aroused from something
-digestion
-blood
-scat

The following are going to cost you extra to include:
(single price increase, not cumulative)
-any form of sexual intercourse
-anything adult involving a female
-breast vore
-unbirth
-extreme pain/torture/cruelty
-really weird stuff(I'll know it when you ask for it)
-humans
-rape

The following are definitely off limits:
-cub
-snuff
-scat play
-probably more

The Cost:
(tentatively priced)
Page 1-4 = 2.50 ea
Page 5-9 = 3.00 ea
Page 10+= 5.00 ea

With the extra charges from really adult stuff:
Page 1-4 = +0.50 per page
Page 5-9 = +3.00 flat fee
Page 10+= +5.00 flat fee

The prices are lower earlier as a shorter story is far less effort to study for and edit. As it gets longer I have to study the minds of the characters more and have more scenes and plot I can potentially mess up and have to do over. I might consider discounts of long stories of 10+ pages, however.

Basically...
4 pages = 10.00
5 pages = 13.00
9 pages = 25.00
10 pages = 30.00

With extra adult stuff:
2 pages = 6.00
4 pages = 12.00
5 pages = 16.00
9 pages = 28.00
10 pages = 35.00

The Process:

First you have to contact me and give me a lot of information. I need to know an outline of what you want to happen in the story, and who is going to be in it, and where/when it happens. I need to learn what kinds of stuff you like to be in stories preference or fetishwise. Then I also need you to tell me how each character thinks and acts, their habits, any any important specific information about them. The more information you give me about all of this stuff the better. Then, if available, give me references to stories or roleplays involving the characters to further help me do my homework learning them. Provide me with any art of the characters for visual aid if you can. If the story is supposed to go with an image of yours, I'll need to see that image.

After all that give me an idea of what sort of page count you are aiming for. I can't guarantee a specific page count as stories are kind of hard to force into a particular size. Chances are unless it goes way over because the plot you gave me couldn't possibly fit into the page count you gave me I might let a page or two extra slide without cost. However please try to understand that given the nature of writing you might need to expect a little variation within a page or two depending on what you are asking for. Also please, PLEASE remember quality is directly tied to page length versus the amount of plot you want me to cover! If you give me too much plot for too few pages the work you receive might be really bad! In progress adjustments to make the story longer are possible at extra cost for the increased length.

At that point I'll go ahead and get to writing the story. I can't provide a stable timetable since a story may be easy or difficult to write based on what you asked for, and my schedule has to work around an often 40 hour work week with variable hours as well. Once I get a rough draft ready and edited I'll tell you the page count and expect payment at that point before I continue. Once payment has been received I will send the draft to you for looking over. At this point you need to tell me anything at all you feel needs changing. This is the only point you can ask for major changes or to include entirely new things into it, so don't leave anything out!

After you submit your changes I will go back and modify the story accordingly. Once this is done I will expect any additional payment if your changes added such a significant amount that the page count went too far up to ignore(generally more than 2 pages). After payment is received(if required) I will send the second draft to you. This time only minor changes can be requested, and after much the same process I will send you the final copy.

A copy of the story will be posted into my scraps section and potentially used as an example of my work in the future. Your copy is yours to do with as you please in your galleries on various sites, but you need to make sure to give me credit for writing it and to link to my page when doing so. I can't get business if I'm not credited! If you modify the story in any way you also need to indicate that you modified my work and that it is no longer in its original format.

Cancellations and Refunds
If for some reason I can't write to your satisfaction or real life makes me unable to complete your commission in a timely manner you may be eligible for a partial or full refund. The payments for my services will stay in my Paypal until my services have been completed so refunds will always be possible. Should I refund you partially or fully for a choice on your end and you already have a copy of your story from me you are not permitted to post it anywhere as otherwise commissioners would have an incentive to feign dissatisfaction with my writing and then turn around and post it after cheating me of my payment.

If there is a problem on your end that prevents you from paying I may withhold your story until payment can be received, and if payment is not possible it won't be posted online.

Openings
I will likely only take one story at a time until I can get comfortable with writing them and/or my schedule is less busy.
