Commission FAQ (yes I am open also updated)
10 years ago
Q: How much do you charge?
I charge 10 dollars for every 1000 words written, I do not however charge for every hundred words meaning that if your commission ends up being 3500 words you would only be paying for 3000 words. I do this mainly because there are certain scenes that may require dialogue and extra wording. It's relatively difficult to stay within a certain margin of words without going a few hundred or so over so I give myself a little wiggle room by doing this.
Q: How should I pitch my commission to you?
Characters(s): Visual Refs work the best to give me a mental image to play with. Note that the more characters that are thrown into a story the longer it's going to be. Dialogue and interactions aren't as short as you might think they are.
Setting/Theme/Plot: These should be relatively simple and should easy to follow. The more complex and intricate things are the harder it is for me to write it. Not to mention it will be that much a longer story as all the plot points and details requested have to come together in some cohesive package.
Kinks/Fetishes: These too should be states cut and clean as so that I know what I'm doing when you ask for it. No need to get murry purry just compile a list of what you want to be in the story and not just what you like. You can also put this in the Theme section of your pitch and have it listed with who's doing what in the story and to whom.
Q: Do you do WIPs?
Yes I do and that's usually once I'm half way done and then about to finish your commission. This way if you have anything you'd like to add or change to the story you can tell me unless you're giving me complete free reign to do as a so please.
NOTE! I do not do more than three changes so make sure you're very clear with what you want. If you continue to throw more and more information at me I will cancel your commission due to it just being too much work and not enough profit. I'm not charging by the hour so going back and redoing and entire set of pages sets me back and there's no money gained from that so please try and keep your changes to a minimum unless something is crucially incorrect.
Q: How long do these usually take?
You're looking at about Same Day to a Week depending on variable factors. Time, work and everything else. I'm usually trying to be as fast as possible with these, not rushing mind you but at the max you should be looking at two weeks unless something has gone array and I've hit a serious block with my writing.
Q: How is length determined?
The amount of characters and the plot really determine how long things are gonna be. If you just want a simple masturbation scene that shouldn't be more than 1000 words. However if your plot has multiple scenes where characters are thrown into different interactions all the time then it can get a little lengthy. At that point I'll throw out a number and we'll talk more on it later. You can opt out to pay for the story when all is said and done and not have a ball park number for me to hit around but that can get sort of pricey and I'd like to avoid any awkward situations.
Q: Do you have any hardcore no's?
Gore and hardcore violence are strictly off my list for anything smut related. Hyper muscle is also something I can't do well for the life of me as well as incredibly immobile individuals, a.k.a super blob fat furs. Other than that feel free to run things by me and we'll talk them through.
