WOOOO! School is OUT for the time being, I am no longer working a regular job, which means I can no focus entirely on writing! And with the new skills I have learned in my college courses, I am now confident enough in my ability to open for commissions!
So! Here's how this works:
Firstly, please read the ENTIRE JOURNAL ENTRY BEFORE contacting me about commissions.
That said, here we go:
Pricing starts at $30 for the first ten pages. For each additional page, it will be an additional $2. Font will be 12 point, "Calibri (Body)" font and lines will be double-spaced, resulting in approximate average of 350-375 words per page. As an example, the prologue for "Kobold's Fortune" is 12 pages long, and appx. 4150 words. You can also find additional examples in the links below:
50% of the total quote is due BEFORE WORK BEGINS on your story. Once the story is completed, final payment is due BEFORE I send/upload the complete draft of your story. More details on this further down.
Should research be required in order to fulfill fanfiction requests, an additional fee will be added to accommodate the extra time and energy spent to do so, and will vary upon the extent of those factors.
To summarize:
$30 for the first ten pages, and $2 for each additional page.
12pt. Calibri (Body) font
Double spaced
Additional research charge may be required, and will be agreed upon before final payment is due.
Payment MUST be submitted through PayPal.
In addition, you have the option, for an upgraded price, to get artwork done depicting a scene from your story! Right now I have only one artist with a sample gallery, DarkCreation, and her prices are as follows:
All with backgrounds: detailed Sketch no color - 10 Detailed sketch 2 people no colored - 14 Detailed sketch with color - 14 Detailed sketch 2 people with color - 18 add +$4 per person after 2 characters. Lined detailed pieces will have a 6 dollar upcharged. Sketch backgrounds only.
These are discounted over her normal commission prices as part of bundling it with a story as well. Yay discounts!
As for adult stories, here's what I am willing to do:
Yiff and non-yiff are both acceptable. If you are not sure if I am willing to do something, please ask.
When it comes to yiff, here is what I am willing and not willing to do: If you are unsure based on this list--please ask.
Things I enjoy:
Furry, feral, Pokemon, gay, straight, bi, and others I'm probably not really thinking of at the moment.
Things I am comfortable with:
Rule 34 other than Pokemon, non-consensual (within limits), and others I'm probably not thinking of at the moment.
Things I am willing to do:
Human, hard non-consensual (again, within limits), foot play, tentacles (within limits), macro/micro (within limits), and once again, several others I'm probably not thinking of at the moment.
Things I am NOT willing to do:
Baby fur, cub, scat, watersports, snuff, diapers, excessive violence (with some exceptions), gore, vore, hyper, and anything else I deem too weird for my tastes. Again, please ask me if you are not sure. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, and I get that people are into some crazy things sometimes. No judgment here, but I can't tell you if I am willing to do something or not if you do not ask.
Please note that if you are commissioning an adult story, it will be assumed that your chosen species will have the appropriate bits for their species (a wolf has a pointed shaft with a knot at the base, a horse has a medial ring and a flare at the head, lizards/most reptiles have a hemipenis with internal testicles, etc.) If you do not want animal anatomy for your furry characters, tell me or they are going to have animal anatomy appropriate to their species.
How this works:
Before accepting your commission, I will need at least the following:
A main character: Their name, age, species (where applicable), appearance (either a description or a ref sheet will do) and a brief description of their personality. IE: Likes, dislikes, narcissist, shy, overbearing, etc. The more you can give me, the more accurate I can be to your request. A basic history of said character should also be included if possible. Again, the more details the better, but unless the character is talking about their past or something like that (possibly meeting an old rival perhaps) it won't be terribly important, but it will help give me a better idea of your character.
Any other characters, and their relationships to the main character and each other. Names, ages, descriptions, brief personality traits, etc. Again, the more you give me the better. If no additional characters are given, I will throw in other characters as needed (which will happen regardless, but in general won't be terribly important to the story unless an antagonist is required).
A setting: Is it fantasy (my favorite), modern day, space travel, dystopian steam punk future, whatever. I will openly admit that sci-fi and steam punk are not my strong suits, but I am at least willing to try. The more details you can give me about your setting, the better. If you do not choose a setting, I WILL CHOOSE IT FOR YOU. If this happens, expect it to be in the same world as my story, "Kobold's Fortune" unless your character's description does not fit the setting.
Most importantly, I need a basic plot/goal/conflict for your character/characters. If you do not give me a plot, I WILL MAKE ONE FOR YOU. What are they out to accomplish? Who is harassing them? Are they trying to get into a prestigious academy/college of some sort? Steal the crowned jewels, get in bed with the princess/friend/parents, whatever. Be advised that more complex plot lines will tend to require more pages, so keep that in mind when you are giving me a page range for your story (this is also true of more in depth sex scenes). Again, if you do not pick a plot, I WILL PICK ONE FOR YOU. I will use whatever information you have already given me to formulate a story plot and will proceed from there.
Should any of the above information be unavailable (you can't think of it), I can fill in the blanks. This includes if you don't have characters for your plot, or you don't have supporting characters, or you have no clue what you want for a story. I can make them up for you.
Once you have received and agreed to the quote for your commission I will write up a story outline for you to approve (the final story may vary from the outline to some degree). Once more, the minimum down-payment is 50% of the total quote, and will be expected BEFORE I WILL BEGIN WORKING ON YOUR STORY. NO EXCEPTIONS. This down payment is also NON-REFUNDABLE after any work has begun on your story, including writing the outline. I will let you know when work starts.
Also bear in mind that the quote is exactly that: a quote. This is based on the estimated number of pages that are going to be required for your story. However, the final story may vary somewhat from the estimated number of pages. I will inform you if the story goes beyond the requested/quoted number of pages, but I will do my absolute best to stay within the parameters of the quote.
When the story is finished, I will then send you the first half of the story and an adjusted quote if any changes have been made due to requiring research to complete your story, or if it does not have the same number of pages as the original estimate. When I receive your final payment, I will then send you the full, final draft. You then have 7 days to ask for any MINOR changes before it is considered fully approved and no further changes will be made. I say minor because the outline will say exactly how the major points are going to play out.
And the copyright:
Outside of the confines of the story, you retain all rights to your character(s). The story remains the sole copyright of myself, but may be posted and/or shared anywhere you like as long as proper credit and a link to the original work is given.
By submitting your down-payment you agree to the terms listed above. Work on all commissioned stories is completed in the order in which payment is received.
If you have any other questions, please ask. Thanks everyone for your time and patience, and I look forward to working with you! ^_^
