A new kind of commission!
2 years ago
Heyo
So, writing is hard. My biggest fear when writing is that I don't know if the commissioner will like it or not, especially if I don't know them too well. Asking them to watch while I stream seems too much, and I don't want to write at a glacial pace and constantly ask for feedback, like "is this ok? is this good?" And yeah, admittedly I've been preferring RPs due to the constant, easily accessable feedback, and the confidence in knowing I'm producing something someone else likes.
Soooooo why not make that a commission?
No no, I'm not asking to be paid for a RP... kinda. Do you know about those really old RPG games for the computer back in the 80's? The kind without an interface or anything, there's just text discribing what you see and what you're doing, and you respond with what you want your character to do next? Yeah, it's basically that!
The idea is that I "DM" a bunch of setting and lore and junk. Make a big world for you to get invested in, the characters you encounter, etc. A normal story, essentially, except how your character reacts to any certain circumstance is completely up to you. You choose how you want to respond to someone, how you want to react to certain events, and that will determine how I continue with the story!
For example, say we're in a fantasy-like setting, and your character is a travelor who just arrived at a village that someone claims is being attacked by a pack of werewolves. I may end the post with "It was a long day, and you could use the rest. However, what Denya said about the werewolf sightings nearby made you morbidly curious, enough to at least consider sneaking out for a peak yourself." It'd be up to you then if you want to take the plunge into dangerous, sexy, possibly fattening werewolf situation, or if you want to take things slower.
Or, let's fast forward a bit; you've been captured by these werewolves, and they're having fun stuffing you to make you into a very filling snack. "The alpha cackles as he crams another pastry into your muzzle, another item stolen from the town's bakery. With each bite you're forced to eat, you feel your bonds tighten significantly around your middle; a round, bulbous middle which has the attentions of every other werewolf you see, their glowing yellow eyes staring hungerly at it, waiting for you to burst through the restraints. Alas, you're not as keen as they are, for the moment the ropes come flying off your body, you'll know it's dinner time."
If you respond shyly and meakly, they could laugh at how adorable you're being. Or hell, maybe if you stop resisting and start eagerly eating what they feed, they'll become curious as to just how much it'll take to stuff you full and keep the feeding going a little longer? (Yes I have hot werewolves on the mind a lot shut it >.>)
I'm not sure how the pricing will work, perhaps I'll start with $5 per 800-ish word post of mine. The first one or two "commissions" will be cheaper, although as I'm writing this, I just realized another fun aspect is that there's no definite 'end' to these stories. The commissioner could just keep the same story going further and further, heh.
Let me know what you think, and if you have any questions <3

FA+

just want to say that If I ever commissioned you I would do it cus I want your writing style and skills.
Writing a massive story upfront is daunting, this would be a fantastic way to pace yourself and keep things fresh. I love this!
(also um, these werewolfs sound, uh, very very cute I love them..)
