Opening for story commissions
3 years ago
General
In order to start making money for what bills I still need to pay, having taken care of my cell phone situation: those being Hunter's Wellness Plan bill, his dog food and my Patreon stuff, I've decided to open myself up for story commissions. I've thought about this for the last several weeks, and ultimately decided on doing this, rather than just outright asking for money, because, at least, this way, I'm giving something back to anyone that helps me.
Regarding the commissions themselves, I'm asking $5 per page written. As an advance notice, however, experience has taught me that I need roughly ten pages to make a decent short story, so that comes out to a minimum of $50. Beyond the first ten pages, I would be checking with anyone who commissioned me to let them know how close I am to finishing the commission. I may not opt to ask for more than that, but it would just depend on if I'm close to finishing the story or not, which I likely would be and would probably only need a page or so more to do so.
I am open to the idea of doing multi-chapter stories, however, in order to give everyone that commissions me a chance to get theirs done in a timely fashion, I may not do all of the chapters at once, if there are multiple people waiting that have one-shot stories they want done. If I have no other commissions at the time of finishing a chapter, I'll start the next one, though.
With regards to subject matter, there are a few things that are an absolute no, as far as my writing is concerned. I will not do anything that involves m/f sexual interaction. The idea of doing it makes me uncomfortable, and I have zero experience in it anyway. I will also not do anything involving blood, gore or dismemberment of any kind. I can't even read that stuff without getting uncomfortable, let alone write it. There are a few other things, but it's better to just contact me directly with your idea to find out if I'm okay with it or not. Something I WILL allow though, is the request to add my own character into the story ,should you wish to do so, however, that is dependent on the subject matter involved in the story.
Whenever I'm writing, I like to try to get a few pages done every day, so I'll have something to show you, by means of a Google Doc link, whenever I do. This will make it easier for you to suggest edits if you don't like something I've done. I will send you a message, telling you to check the link and asking if things look okay before I continue.
Also, this journal is being posted on both of my Fur Affinity accounts, my Inkbunny account and my So Furry account. As such, I will be keeping track of the commissions I take in from all three sites, and doing them in order based upon the time the agreed upon commission has been arranged. These commissions will be listed by username and the site the user is from. Please refrain from sending me story commission requests on multiple accounts, as well as from sending multiple story commission requests, if you're already waiting on one. As I said earlier, I want to make sure to to give everyone a chance to get something done.
Regarding payments themselves. I am only accepting payment through PayPal. Payment is asked once the commission details have been decided on. This, however, only applies to the first ten pages. If the story requires more than that, meaning more than just another page, I will ask for the remaining balance once the commission is completed.
I'm only going to be opening a few slots for now. Depending on how smoothly they go, I'll open up for more when I finish these. If you are interested in getting a story commissioned from me, please comment on this journal and I will send you a private message to discuss details.
Thank you for your time, and for your consideration. I look forward to working with any of you that decide to commission me!
For anyone curious, you can find some of my older story work here.

Maybe if you post/link a few examples of your work (safe for work of course) so that people can see your writing and see if it's the sort of thing that they might be interested in? Again though, it's just a suggestion, it's up to you wear ever or not you want to do it like that.
If you haven't mentioned that this journal was updated, you may need to re-upload it again. But give it a few days just in case, before doing that.
