Story Commissions
9 years ago
General
I've gotten by with doing a bit of story commission work here and there, but it was mostly word of mouth and usually with people I already knew. Though I've been noted once or twice and I'm starting to feel confident to publicly asking if people are interested in commissioning stories from me.
I will reserve the right to deny accepting the commission, either because content, available time on my part, or length (no hundred page weight gain stories please), or something else. Because of how my creative writing works, my pricing will be somewhat variable as stories will often times go over or under a certain word limit. Shorter stories are easier to manage, so if you ask for something between 1K-3K words, it should be easy to keep it around that length, depending on the prompt. Once it gets longer than that, word count is a bit more difficult to manage.
Prices start at a cent a word, and then past the 5K-6K mark it slowly go's up until it's around 1.5 cents per word.
So, as examples
1,000 = $10
3,000 = $30
5,000 = $60
6,000 = $75-$80
8,000 = $110-$120
The increase in price is mostly because longer stories take exponentially longer to outline, write, and so forth, while shorter stories I can easily do in an afternoon.
So please, comment below on your opinions or if you would be interested in a writing commission from me. If I officially open, I'll make another journal with some open slots.

I'm surprised by the popular response I've had already.
This is just to rate if it's worth me doing (which it is).
But when I finish with my current round of stories, I'll officially open some slots.
