Now open for story commissions!
14 years ago
Alright, so after some deliberation (and more than a little procrastination…) I've decided to formally open to accept story commissions! I have some rules about it though, so please read carefully. You all like stories, so I don't want to hear anybody going "tl; dr". :P
First, there are some things I will NOT write about:
1. Sex. Yep, you heard me. As an asexual I reserve the right not to write about sex. My stories are all gonna be PG-13. Now, I might be willing to hint at sex, and then skip the scene like so many PG-13 movies. But keep in mind, these will be short stories. If sex is a key part of your story, you might want to reconsider.
2. Unusual fetishes. Yes, this ties in above, but deserves its own bullet point. Some fetishes are fairly tame (IMO), and can be expressed in non-sexual ways (like macro or micro). Others… just gross me out. Like vore, bondage, etc. If you want something along those lines, just note me first, but be prepared for a “no”.
3. Famous characters. In other words, don't come to me asking for a fanfic. I have nothing personal against them, but they aren't really my thing, especially since a ton of them break one of my rules above… Even when they don't, I'm very bad at emulating other characters, I enter into a perfectionist mindset trying to make it sound just like them. I'm willing to use popular settings with original characters though (like Pokemon).
Now for things that I really like to write about, or think I'm good at. Play to these and you could win brownie points:
1. I love setting my stories in dreams! It gives me amazing artistic license, and I've always had a fascination with dreams in general. Not that you should change your ideas for that sole reason, of course.
2. I'm great with dialogue, much better than with physical descriptions. I love progressing the plot through dialogue. I want to get better at descriptions too, though. If you want a good description of your character, then please, please give me a good ref to go by. Same thing with a detailed setting, tell me a bit about it beforehand.
3. I like adventure stories, or (more common in dream settings) "WTF is going on!?" stories. I will do basically anything but porn, though.
Finally, the steps I want you to go through if you want a story from me:
1. Note me with the general idea of the story. Refs are good, and anything I'm borderline on above, just ask! I just wanted to filter out common requests from the get-go. I won't bite. Give me a word count to aim for, please! I'll be charging by story length.
2. I'll note you back with the price I want to charge, and ask you to send me payment through Paypal before I start. Note me again once you've paid.
3. I'll write up the story, upload it in my scraps and link you to it. If there are any changes you want me to make, let me know and we'll iron out the details.
4. When you decide it looks good, I'll reupload it.
A few final thoughts. I'm still trying to figure out how pricing is gonna work. My preliminary price, subject to change, starts at $3 for 300 words, and two characters. Then add a dollar for each extra hundred words, and a dollar for each extra character. (Though I refuse to write a 300 word story with 20 characters in it. Also, that's important characters. Random nobodies are free. If in doubt, ask.)
I also need more watchers for this to ever get off the ground. So, you can get a dollar off a story by writing a journal linking to me, and posting the journal here. You may also be able to get a dollar off a story if you have a good thumbnail for it (I know I'm more likely to click a story that has a thumbnail).
Lastly, to give you an idea how long your story will be, this journal is roughly 700 words long. That's a $7 story. (Subject to change)
