~Terms of Service~
~Writing Commissions by Romeo Del Zorro~

All Services:

1. I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason, and I don’t have to tell you what that reason is.

2. My work is conducted in a 5 step process of my own design, called “Foxtrot Style”. More information about Foxtrot Style can be found here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal.....t/#jid:9566938

3. I will NOT write about minors or “babyfurs” in an NSFW context. I will be happy to write about children in a completely SFW writing, with no hinting toward sexuality whatsoever.

4. You will be asked about your fetishes, and about HARD LIMITS in the Research Phase. HARD LIMITS are fetishes that you absolutely cannot stand, for any reason (like they trigger you, or make you ill). I will avoid writing about those things on your behalf.

5. All final documents are produced in a read-only, double spaced Microsoft Word .docx file, in 12 point Times New Roman font. If you need more changes after this final document is delivered, you must contact me for edits. If the mistake is my fault, I will change it for free. If not, I may charge you to fix it.

6. Even if you’ve purchased the “Live Viewing” special feature, you may not join me for the Proofing Phase (shading) of my work. This step must be completed in private in order to be done properly. Proofreading and Editing are incompatible.

7. Even if you’ve purchased the “Secret Document” special feature, you MUST still credit me for my work if you decide to post it anywhere.

8. I have the final say in the completed work. If, after I make this decision, you are still not happy with it, I will refund half of your payment and not complete the work.

9. With the exception of YCHs, no payment is collected until the completion of the “Research Phase” of my work. In other words, I will be happy to sit down with you and discuss your fetishes and hard limits for free. Then, I will make the decision whether or not to accept your commission, and request payment before progressing to phase two (Freewriting).

10. I won't write about a third party's OCs unless you can get them to message me and tell me it's okay. I can't take your word for it that they gave you permission, but I'll take theirs.


YCH Writings:


These pieces are almost complete already, all I need is your character’s name, a brief description of them, and their HARD LIMITS.

1. Payment upfront (Research Phase is already complete!) The cost is usually lower than my commissions.

2. Limited interactivity. All you can change are HARD LIMITS (like “I hate sounding” or something). You will not be able to change the wording or pacing of the story. If adjusting for these limits causes me to have to change the story too much, I may reject your offer and refund your purchase (if you’ve already paid).

3. Automatic acceptance in my gallery. All YCH writings will be posted to my gallery, and you may not pay me to withhold it.

4. Since these stories are already almost complete, turnaround time is 1-3 days.


Backstory (SFW and NSFW)


This is my first tier of writing. I need, at minimum, your character’s ref sheet. That’s it. If you have ideas for their story, or any NSFW details (like the weight of their massive, veiny horse cock), please dump them all out at the Research Phase (the first step). If you do not provide me with any details, I will be happy to make them up for you.

1. Payment will be collected in full at the completion of the Research Phase, before I begin Freewriting.

2. IF YOU DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH DETAILS: You may change or redact only 1 Storyboard at the completion of the Storyboarding Phase, and may not make any changes to the Drafting Phase. IF YOU DID PROVIDE ME WITH DETAILS: You may make changes to the Storyboards that do not fall in line with your decisions, and minor changes to the Drafting.

3. Automatic acceptance in my gallery. All backstories will be posted to my gallery, and you may not pay me to withhold it.

4. These backstories generally don’t take too long to complete, so turnaround time is about 2-5 days.


Commissions (Small Tiers)


These are the 1-2 arc smaller stories and/or eroticas. I need, at minimum, your ref sheet(s) (up to two) and a paragraph or two describing your character’s personality, general looks, and your choice of 1 or 2 main arcs or fetishes.

1. Payment may be given entirely during the Research Phase, or you may split it into two equal payments, one before I get started with Freewriting, and the other after I’ve finished the Storyboarding (line art) Phase. In the case of the latter, I will not begin Drafting (coloring) until I’ve received the second payment.

2A. (Unless you’ve purchased the “Live Viewing” special feature,) you will be summoned twice for your approval. Once at the completion of the Storyboarding Phase, and again at the completion of the Drafting Phase. For the first, you can make large changes like deleting an entire storyboard or rearranging the order of events. For the second, you can make minor changes like grammar or references. After you’ve approved both phases, no more changes can be made.

2B. For 1 arc/fetish stories, you may change a maximum of two (2) storyboards in the first summon, and make a maximum of two (2) grammatical changes in the Drafting Phase. For 2 arc/fetish stories, you may change a maximum of three (3) storyboards in the first summon, and make a maximum of three (3) grammatical changes in the Drafting Phase. If after these changes are exhausted and your story is still not acceptable, we will discuss further changes, but if they are not agreed to, the commission will be scrapped, and I will refund half of your purchase price. (In the event that you split payment, I will simply not accept the second payment.)

3. These commissions will automatically be posted in my galleries, unless you pay an additional 50% surcharge to keep it secret. This is because the breadth of my portfolio is important in securing future commissions, and to write in secret limits my ability to demonstrate my potential to future clients. This surcharge allows me to recoup part of that loss of revenue.

4. These commissions take a little more time and effort than my YCHs, and therefore have a turnaround time of between 7-14 days, but are usually completed more quickly than that.


Top Tier Commissions


This is my special tier, in which you and I will be working together every step of the way. (Live Viewing is included free in this tier.) For this tier, I will need at a MINIMUM: Your character(s) Ref sheet(s) (up to three), a list of your fetishes (for NSFW purposes), a list of your HARD LIMITS, and a paragraph or two about their personalities. Any and all other references will be accepted during the Research Phase, and I will allow a certain level of “OH BUT WAIT” references to be added during Freewriting and Storyboarding (not Drafting).

1. Half of the fee(s) will be paid upfront during the Research Phase. The other half may be paid now, or you can wait until the Storyboards are complete to pay it.

2. If you are unavailable while I am working, I will still summon you after the Storyboarding and Drafting Phases for your approval. You may change and rearrange as many storyboards as you like, but are still limited to only grammatical changes in the Drafting Phase.

3. I may need to partially or wholly redact some of the storyboards during the Drafting Phase if I determine there to be no way to properly incorporate them. In this case, I will summon you for your approval yet again.

4. If large changes to the story need to be made AFTER the Storyboarding phase, we will discuss them on Discord or Telegram, but I reserve the right to reject them.

5. I will do my best to incorporate all of your selected fetishes, but I may redact up to 25ish% of them to maintain good narrative flow.

6. These commissions will automatically be posted in my galleries, unless you pay an additional 50% surcharge to keep it secret. This is because the breadth of my portfolio is important in securing future commissions, and to write in secret limits my ability to demonstrate my potential to future clients. This surcharge allows me to recoup part of that loss of revenue.

7. These commissions are very large and detailed, and as such have a maximum three (3) week timeline.


Special Features


In addition to standard commissions, I also offer a variety of special features you can purchase to improve your experience. These features also have a couple rules, which I’ve conveniently outlined for you here.

Live Viewing: I will give you a “viewer” level link to the Google Doc Worksheet I’ll be using to write your story with. To execute this power, you must highlight the text you think needs to be changed, right click or long press, select “comment”, and type your thoughts there. Please note: While these do not count toward your change limits during the summons, they may also be completely ignored. I’ll do my best to incorporate your comments, though.

Русский перевод: I do not personally speak a lick of Russian. I must send your completed work to my professional translator, who may have different Hard Limits than I do, and may decline to translate it for you. If the translation is accepted, you will need to wait up to an additional three days to receive the completed work.

Audiobook: There are certain things I have a much easier time typing than I do vocalizing. I may reject your offer for any reason. Also, I do not currently have a professional female-presenting vocalist, and as such, must read female vocals with my decidedly male-sounding voice. I also do not have Russian speaking vocalists, and as such, these files are only available in English at this time. This file may be quite large and uncompressed, it will be up to you to suggest a file sharing platform that can accommodate such a file size. If not, I will have to zip it, which may reduce sound quality.

Hard Copy: Your work will be printed on 80 pound, vellum-finish cardstock. Each page will be secured in it’s own 8.5x11 document protector, and those will be secured in a 9x12 security envelope. To save paper, I may reduce the line spacing of your document to 1.5 and/or reduce the font size to 11. I cannot ship to every country, and I don’t know which ones I can’t ship to until I try. If, after you’ve paid, I discover that I cannot ship to your country, I will refund the cost of this extra feature.

Secret Document: I will not post your work in my gallery. This decision is irreversible! You may not change your mind and allow me to post it, and I will not refund the 50% fee.


Thank you for reading! I look forward to bringing your stories to life!
