Well from my experience, you check what the writers offer. I usually ask how much they charge per 1000 words. So if they charge $10, for example, I would get a 5000 word story.

But perhaps before that, I ask what they Can and Cannot write.

Anyway, I then work out on an idea on what they'd write, like the story, the characters and setting, but I also make sure that it fits with the word count: Like I'd made sure that the story idea fits with, say, 5000 words. Otherwise I'd have to pay extra so it won't feel rushed and condensed.

After everything is settled, I pay for the story.

I hope that helps. Sorry, but I'm feeling sleepy atm

No problem at all! This helped! I just wonder what happens if your character seems....out of character?

I wonder how often that happens

I try and give regular updates and ask a lot of questions to my commissioners so that I can try to capture them as accurately as possible! Course, it's not always possible to fully capture the intricacies of a character if you're not intimately familiar, but in the end you paint the best picture you can.

Well I simply request the artist to try and make some changes, especially if they are acting out of character in terms of personality and dialogue.

EDIT: I also refer to them a story made by another writer who did my character justice.

I write a lot for fun

I have tried to take commissions for writing but my platform isn't very big.

When I did try I charged $10 for 1000 words it seems to be a fair price

Do you post your original stories anywhere?

I have some small ones posted on my toyhouse! https://toyhou.se/BouncyBunny/literatures

Some are unfished and unedited but the short stories are complete (Silken thread and VIP Room) both 18+ tho one for gore and the other for nsfw

Tetra is a larger project im working on thats very rough rn and needs a lot of editing

I do story commissions! I usually make a post when I have the time to write, and see if anyone is interested. I try to make sure the word limit is something I can handle. If someone is interested, they'll message me here or leave a comment on the post.
We'll go over story length, and I'll take some time to ask a few questions to get a framework for the story. The more, the better, but I feel like too much can be harmful, since people will want my writing style, much like people comm artists for their art style.
After the idea has been finalized, I like to go stream of conciousness with the rough idea I have in my head. A lot of the time it's free writing. Less about a structure, more about getting to what the client wants in my own way. It's difficult to explain, but the words tend to just pour out of my fingers through the keyboard.
When I'm a few hundred words away, I'll send the draft to the client, ask them if they want anything added/changed, then embellish to meet the word cap.
I don't charge for small edits, but if it ends up being another couple hundred words, I charge a small fee.

Interesting! this makes sense to me
thank you for taking the time out to respond ; u ;/

Of course!

I love writing and I'd love, one day, to start offering commissions for it, but it doesn't seem very popular, honestly. I'm in the middle of writing what will probably become a 60+ page story for someone who won a raffle of mine...two years ago 😅

Typically someone comes to me with a rough summary of what they want. They usually have a rough word count in mind, based on how much they can afford. I get them an outline. If they approve it, I write the story.

I write primarily for trades since cash exchanges can get messy.

Usually the person asking is a friend who already knows me. I did have an influx of commission requests after a recent upload, but they all were asking me to use someone else's character without permission so I declined them all.

Professional writers usually charge per 1000 words or per hour spent writing if it's a livestream format. For established characters, a style/personality guide is created by conversing with the client, looking at prior works, etc.; most writers will present a 50% complete rough draft, similar to how artists will drop a sketch and ask "Like this?" for the client's approval. Length, content, and intent are discussed; there's quite a difference between a one-off smut scene and something that might become a full-length story.

Some popufur writers are less scrupulous and simply offer "plug in" slots, similar to artist YCHs; the client is left at the mercy of whatever scene(s) the writer already had planned.

My lovely boyfriend is a writer that has worked on a fair few commissions throughout the years. He's got good communication and also fair pricing :3
