Writing commissions from Nalz
12 years ago
Okay, so one of my man friends 
is opening up for writing commissions and he would like a little help. So spread the word and go his way in case you want a good range of great writing material.
I'll be out with it. My sole "New Year Resolution" (something I don't typically do) was to sell my writing in some way. To really fulfill this, and a long term desire of mine, would be to write something substantial, or a series of substantial short stories and put it up as an eBook and sell that.
However, I have considered that I would like to try doing a story commission sometime in the near future.
For that I need to know if any of my watchers, the ones that watch me because of my writing, not the art I commission, would be interested in the idea of getting some one-of-a-kind strings of words done by yours truly. Now, I'm sure the majority have never really considered commissioning a written work. I mean, why bother, right? Writing doesn't have the mass appeal that drawings have, or the views. I can tell you though, writing has something that a drawing doesn't: longevity. Allow me to elaborate!
When you commission a drawing and get it, you can take it all in relatively quickly; see all it has to offer in seconds. There may be little details here and there that take a little more scrutiny to pick out, but it still doesn't take long. With a story you have as long as it takes you to read it! So, unless you read hella fast, it's going to take you some time, an investment even. More than just the investment of money to get it, you have to invest yourself, to see the characters, to put yourself in the scene or situation, to really feel and understand it. I can tell you up front, you don't get page views from stories, if that's what you're after, on this website (or most other furry ones).
Now, a little about myself and my motivation; I have a job, I'm in the military. I don't need to do this, nor do I need the money. However, I want to try my hand at writing under the direction of someone who is in charge of me and the project via their hard earned money. Plus, I'm curious to see if there is any interest/demand in my skills as a writer, as mediocre as they may be. If I ever want to fulfill a small, hobbyist dream of selling the fruits of my hobby, I may as well start somewhere!
If you're interested, after that wall of text, then you must be a reader and like something about my work and style! Let me move on to the important bits. I'll be aiming for 3000-5000 words, which is roughly 7-10 pages at a typical, 11pt font. Examples follow:

Stories that fall below the range, but are worth checking out for my capabilities:

I can do clean stories or erotic stories, but when it comes to erotic I'm not that into hardcore, in your face stuff. You can see in my writing like I like a little bit of subtlety. My strengths are in Science Fiction and modern era stuff. Basically, you’re just going to have to ask me if I’m willing to do it. I’m kinda vanilla.
And the last, but not least important detail, pricing! The length I’m aiming for is 3-5k words. Since there is a range, I’m going to put the price just under the high end at $45USD. Depending on where the length ends up that’s about $.01USD per word.
Keep in mind that, if you’re interested, you’re going to have to have a detailed idea of what you want. Specific characters are going to need to be fully explained, personality and appearance are key. I don’t have any plot lines lurking in my head, but it may be possible to work one out with me if you aren’t sure of one.
And that’s about it! If you have any questions feel free to ask, note or comment! If you have any suggestions or tips, I’m open to hearing those as well. I haven’t done something like this before, so I’m just interested in gauging interest and giving it a shot.

though I'll probably only read clean stories.
