Commissions Masterpost Mirror

This post should be kept up to date, so feel free to refer back to it later.
Also, if you just want to support me but don't want to commission anything specific, please check out my Patreon page!
Topics I'll accept.
I'm willing to discuss anything, including extreme fetishes. I'm a little weak on comedy, my grimdark game is only so-so, and I'm picky about what non-consent and foalcon/cub/other underage I'll write. Anything else is probably fair game. The list of things I feel I can do well is pretty long; you can check out my past stories for some idea of what that entails. (It ranges from the fluffiest of g-rated cute fluff to serious hardcore fetish material.) I also write non-pony stories.
Prices.
I charge 2 cents a word, or $20 per thousand words. There is no extra charge for any particular topic. I do, however, charge extra for rush commissions and private commissions/rights to stories/ghostwriting. (See below for how that works.) I also have discounts available for my Patreon patrons. Patreon commissions work differently and tend to go more slowly, but can also be much cheaper. You can ask me if you have any questions about them.
How to commission me.
Just drop me a PM so we can talk about your story. Please include the topic you're interested in, and any outline or plot description you have. If you have a length in mind for it, or a budget you're sticking to, let me know that as well. I'll reply and let you know if the idea is one I'm willing to accept and give you any concerns I may have about it.
Once we've agreed on the story and the estimated length, I'll ask for half of the total price up front, based on that estimate. I'll then keep you updated as I write the story (or you can let me know if you'd just prefer to read it as a complete story when it's done.) How long it takes to finish will depend on the story length, what's going on in my life, what other projects I have going, and how much time my kiddo gives me off. Stories can take several months to complete, especially anything over 5k words.
After it's finished, I'll send you the rough draft and ask you for the second payment, based on the actual length the story runs. (If it runs massively longer than the estimate, I will discount the extra words, since you didn't ask for them, but I'm usually fairly close.) You then suggest any edits or changes you want at this point, and we can agree on things like cover art, whether you want your name attached to the story, and when the story will be published to the site. I usually just park any new story at the end of my publication queue, but that can be months long, and I'm willing to jump commissions up for customers who prefer not to wait.
When all that's hammered out, payment is received, and the story comes up in the queue, it'll be published on the site, with all my other stories. Please note that publication by me does not guarantee a story will be popular. Yes I've had popular stories. I've also had stories, even quite good ones, bomb completely. Fame is fickle.
Rush short stories.
Rush commissions jump to the head of my writing queue, I'll work on them before any other stories. They are guaranteed to be finished in two weeks or less. Rush commissions cost 2.5 cents a word, or $25 per thousand words. I will only take rush commissions for stories 5k words long and under. These stories otherwise work exactly like any commission.
Private commissions.
If you don't want your story published by me, I'm still willing to write it, but I will do so at a "pro" rate of 5 cents a word, or $50 per thousand words. This includes nearly unlimited editing; since you're the only audience for such stories, I'll keep working on it until you're completely happy. This rate can also include publication or other rights, although I will still require an author credit wherever it does end up published. If you want me to ghostwrite for you, with you credited as author, we can discuss it, pricing will depend on the situation. This is not a rush rate, rush rate as described above is an additional .5 cent per word and can be added to this rate for short enough stories if so desired.
If all my slots are full.
If everything is full, or if you don't want/can't get a rush commission, I can put your name on my waiting list, and you'll have the next chance at nabbing a slot. Just let me know. We can work out the details ahead of time and I can just take payment and start writing, or we can decide on the story to write when your slot comes up. You can decline if you don't have funds on hand and just go to the bottom of the list or be taken off of it, no harm, no foul.
So that's it. Feedback on any of this welcome. So are questions, if you happen to have any!
