"Where's My Story?"
6 years ago
Commissions are temporarily closed
============================
Hey, a brief journal I wanted to make now while I was thinking about it.
You may wonder why I haven't finished a story of yours, if you commissioned at a point you think was probably before some of the others. The answer for that is as simple as it is silly.
Different stories take different amounts of effort.
Barebones and Basic Vs, which have brief intros and outros and mostly consist of me rolling dice to determine who wins various fights, are very simple and fast to write, and I know a story can't be sent back unless it is LUDICROUSLY off of what few words I was given to work off.
Full Vs, which have longer intros, take slightly longer. This is because I'm putting serious care and effort into making something you want. I'll only do a real rewrite of the outro, but I'm going to absolutely do what I can to make it not just what you asked for, but something you'd want and hope for more of.
Finally, a normal commission, by chapter or by word count, will take more time. This is because I'm going to be trying to make it absolutely perfect, let you make what comments you feel necessary, and keep you updated as it progresses so you can ask me to change course mid-stream. I'll send you a summary of the story, you can ask for some changes, and then when I'm writing you can tell me if things aren't going the way you wanted/hoped and we'll figure out what to do. If you ask for too many changes, I'll probably ask for another $5 or so per change after a while, but still. It takes longer, but it's also better.
There's an old saying in business: "Cheap, fast, or good: Pick 2."
Now I'm just starting out, so I have to offer good prices, but I'm a fast typer and I can work pretty well. Cheap is always going to be an option, because that's something I pride myself on. Even if I eventually have to raise prices, I'll usually be able to do more for less.
When it comes to my Vs commissions, then, it's fast and cheap. In exchange for it being less specific in the request, I write more words for less money and they get done faster. When it comes to others, though, I'm cutting out fast. They may take slightly longer, but take comfort that they will be both cheap, and very, very good.
Thank you :)
