COMMISSION PRICES
13 years ago
General
Here we go, I’m unveiling a new pricing set up. Please see below about old pricing. This will come as a surprise to most people, but I’ve broken it down as best that I can.
Commissions will now cost $0.0075 a word. Yes, that’s 3/4th of a cent per word. Right now I charge lump sums and that does work, but this will offer people a bit more freedom to decide how long they want a story as well as offer a more fair and balanced way to charge.
For instance. 10,000 word story= $55 which roughly equals. $0.0055 per word. Under the new pricing it would cost $75. Here’s a breakdown of what pricing would be on the typical story lengths:
5K- $37.50
7,500- $56.50
10K- $75
And so on. Commissioners are NOT limited to those word counts. You can pick your own. I encourage commissioners to find a story they like of mine and find out what the word count is and then you can get idea on cost.
SPEEDPASS: 48 Hour Speed Passes will be the only ones available and the price will drop to $15

ILLUSTRATED STORIES
I've been enjoying putting stories to pictures that I've commissioned, so I'm throwing this open. If you have a picture you've had commissioned or are commissioning and want a story to go with it then read below.
Price: $15 for 2500 words $30 for 5K $55 for 10K
Rules: You send me the picture via e-mail or link and I write a story of how it came to happen between the characters. You may list additional kinks or requests, but this is pretty much a writer's choice. ;)
BENEFITS:
-I will likely be doing less commissions which means more time spent on your story and higher quality being put out.
-Quite often I will go over the word count limit, it just happens, so you sometimes will end up with more then what you paid for. I will NOT go under it.
-Every commission will come with a 7 day turnaround time automatically for less then 10K and a 14 day for 10K stories. This will be based on my work load both for stories and work.
STORY SERIES:
Story series' will be available at $30 per 5k story, $40 per 7.5 story and $55 per 10k story. These will be taken on two at a time, no more. There will be no further price breaks. A series takes a lot of work and effort so I want to make enough money to justify doing them. There is a min. of three stories per series.
LIVE STREAM COMMISSIONS:
When I have a livestream up and running I will run livestream commissions. These will be taken a bit differently then normal commissions. I'll be charging things by the hour instead of by the word. These are done as a rough story run where there won't be additional time spent on editing and cleaning up. These aren't plot passed, but normally very pornish. ;)
$25 for the first hour
$15 per additional half hour
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Alright, a few people have asked about my worlds and what they are, can they have stories set in them, etc. So I’ll write them out here so folks can find them pretty easily. ^_^ All of these are open to be commissioned in, some have restricted characters (Such as Kalan and Vanir) who I’ll only do on special occasions like an auction or for a few people who have commissioned me in the past. Some have open characters that are openly used (Creole and Liam).
Equine World
Time Period: Late 18th-19th century
Geographic Location: Mostly southern US, though references include something akin to France and England.
Rulers: Council of Lords, governors, and sheriffs.
Outline: A world that is populated entirely by equines in all their different classes. They are broken up into various roles.
Warmbloods (Arabians, thoroughbreds, quarter horses, warm bloods): Aristocrats. Mainly slave owners and/or on the council of lords. They also serve as Generals, Admirals and high placed military men. The very poorest are relegated to business owners, though they tend to own businesses such as money lending and/or running banks.
Coldbloods (Belgian drafts, Shires, Clydesdales, Percheron): Military and working class. They rent themselves out to be used on poorer farms to pull a plow or sell products. The noblest occupation is serving in the military as common soldiers and sailors. Their size and strength is companioned by a normally docile manner unless they are from one of the strictly military bloodlines that have been bred for generations to serve in war. They will also sell their bodies, shamefully, to serve as mule-breeders (See mules)
Miniature horses/Ponies (Dartmoors, Welsh, Shetlands): They serve as craftsmen in their own right and shop keeps. They own small businesses or negotiate deals of minor importance. Some are elevated nearly to the place of an aristocrat, but their size and caste make it impossible for them to be truly socially acceptable.
Donkeys: Slaves. These are used and bred to work the fields of large estates as well as used as servants, pulling carts and carriages, taking care of the live stock and general use. They have no rights under law and a free-donkey is all but unheard of. They can be freed in name only, but they will be unable to find work because of their caste and even with a mark of freedom, might be snatched and have the brand burned away so they are recaptured as slaves. Freeing a donkey is normally done in old families who wish a trusted servant to be more closely bound to the family. The donkey remains working, but is offered a small bit of pay as well as time off. Donkeys are viewed as animals, not real people.
Mules: The offspring of a horse and donkey. They are prized infertile slaves that are kept on wealthy manners. They are allowed to serve indoors because of their horse blood and are given tasks that a donkey might not be trusted with. They are also hard workers that can withstand the heat and toil that would put a donkey to his knees. Because they cannot breed among themselves, the aristocrats hire poorer castes (Drafters and ponies) to either stud their jennies or stand with their jacks. This is a lucrative market as the horses that agree to these terms are well paid and the mares are well housed and cared for until they deliver the promised mule. It is balanced with the social stigma that is attached with breeding with an ‘animal’. Most who go into the market rarely leave it.
Hidden Lords
Time Period: Modern
Geographic Location: Only shown in St Louis, New Orleans and Seattle, but encompasses the entire world.
Rulers: Modern rulers for the world. Shadow rulers found beneath the human one in the form of mythic creatures.
Outline: Anthros have come out to the human population in the late 20th century. They only reveal those of themselves that are considered harmless and pick up a façade of being weak and powerless. The only ones that are put forth are traditional animals: dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, mice, squirrels, otters, etc. The Church declares them as an abomination and the political media storms them as something less then human. They fight for their rights, but they are refused them because they are different. Most murders, rapes or abuse that happens to them goes unreported or, if it is reported, rarely leads to an arrest or any sort of justice. Some quick facts.
-No anthro will give their real name to a nonanthro. Most pick up names like Spot, Splash, Jack, Kitty, Snow, Rover, Rex etc. Their real names are kept hidden.
-The anthro population congregates in large cities, they are almost unheard of in smaller towns for fear of being abused.
-While they present a submissive face to the world, there is an undercurrent of rebellion that lurks beneath the surface.
-Most end up in jobs as exotic dancers, escorts, prostitutes, hired labor, tourist attractions and bar tenders. Getting a normal job is still unheard of.
-The American government is trying to get them termed as entirely nonhuman. If the ruling goes through, they will have poaching laws to deal with murderers, but it will also forbid them no rights under the constitution.
-It is illegal in many states to sleep with an anthro as bestiality laws have been changed. It is also viewed as an abomination to do so.
- Humans and anthros cannot cross breed. There are no viable young.
Shadow Rule: There is a segment of anthros that has never seen the light of the media. They are a carefully guarded secret that haunt the largest of cities and form a ruling class that protects those within their territory and work to change the world. It’s unclear if the change is political or an all out rebellion/war. They are not normal species’ but are made up of various mythics.
Unicorns- Unicorns hold the power of transformation. They are the only species that can take a human and change them into something else entirely. They are also keen business owners who flourish under making bars, strip clubs, dancing clubs, and often host raves under various business names. They are also well known for a flourishing drug trade that helps build their small empires. They are the most prolific species and also the only rulers unable to change their own appearances.
Dragons-Dragons are not anthro, but are four legged. Their greatest power is that of illusion. They can make themselves appear as a two legged human and walk unnoticed in the human world. They can transform, but they can only work on anthros and only from two legged to feral or from feral to two legged. They are typically technology genius’ and have flourished with the internet. They are normally behind the web-giants and have great stores of money. They adore information and new technology and flourish in that field. There are only ten dragons in the world currently. They range from an Eastern style dragon to Western to Wyverns.
Gryphons- The gryphons have the magic of bespelling the mind no matter if they’re human or anthro. They can also change their shape to that of a human or remain in their anthro guise. This isn’t illusion, but a real change. They seem to have an affinity for law enforcement and are often sheriffs or prosecutors, though some hold security companies that contract with the government. They are the most wide ranging species and are found mostly in Europe and some South American countries. The gryphons themselves are subdivided into various species’, but it rarely matters to anyone who doesn’t have to deal in depth with their kind.
Pegasus- Behind the unicorns, these are the most prolific creatures. They possess the power of Foresight. They use illusion to make themselves appear as human, but rarely require it. They work behind the scenes and fund major airline and travel companies. They tend to run companies that are devoted to fair practice hiring when it comes to anthros. They can appear as two or four legged at will.
Phoenix- Head of the rulers, there is only one. He does not come into the human world at all, nor do most anthros know about him. He controls the Lords as well as controlled them all becoming public.
Stories set in this world: Horse Toy, In Search of a Story, The De Sade, Beyond the De Sade.
Dragonlords
Time Period: 13th-18th century
Geographic Location: England, France, Spain, Middle East
Rule: Dragonlords.
Outline: This world holds any anthro you can imagine, but the dragons are the ones that rule. Most of them are minor lords and noblemen by right of birth, the older and cannier formed up a series of Councils. Each country is ruled by a king, queen or emperor that is supported by the council. They are NOT an absolute monarchy, the ruler is a figure head of sorts that is allowed a certain amount of power in terms of laws and rules. Major decisions are filtered through the Council which meets four times a year. Emergency sessions are rare.
Notes on this world
-Other species can become semi-noble through acquiring wealth and influence, it takes a certain amount time to get enough to be considered powerful, but it can and has been done.
-Different species’ can interbreed, though it’s looked down on.
-Many countries were taken over through various wars, so there are a scattering of slaves still kept within some of the major powers. Most notably fennec foxes, mar’lizards, mice and rats. Slavery is uncommon, but still does accure.
-Most dragon kind doesn’t practice monogamy due to their slow rate of production. One male will keep many females in an attempt to spread his genes.
Ferals:
-Dragons are the only species that are not ‘pure’ when it comes to their offspring. It’s not unheard of for an egg to hatch out a four legged dragon instead of an anthro.
-Most countries treat them as a filthy secret that hints at tainted bloodlines. Eggs are candled by priests to check the growth of the young before hatching. If a feral is found the egg is disposed of in a ceremony.
-Some countries (barbarian nations) believe that such dragons are gifts from the divine and they are treated with reverence.
Unique Species:
Mar’Lizards-Small colorful lizards (four feet tall) that are a conquered people. They are close enough to a dragon that they’re prized as servants
