Open for writing commissions!

The most up-to-date version of this can be found on

codelizard in this journal, but I'll do my best to keep this copy updated.

(Last updated: October 9th, 2024)

What do you write?
My main strength is doing short stories that mix erotica and plot, but this isn't the only thing I can write.
I can write SFW stories, longer narratives, or shorter pure smut stories.
I can also do odd projects like lorewriting, rewriting RP logs as stories, picture descriptions, scripts, editing, etc. If you need something in a hurry, consider an Express Commission.
Unsure? Feel free to ask!

How much?
$1.75 USD per 100 words, rounded down. PayPal only, but alternate forms of payment are possible - see "Are there any discounts?" further down.
Normal slots have no strict upper or lower limit. However, to avoid a big story holding up the entire queue, every 30,000 words I will put you on hold and do the next commission in the queue if there's still a lot left to write.
Express slots have a soft cap of 3000 words, which is roughly "one scene with an intro".

What's the "Express Queue"?
Express Queue slots are for stories that I spend only one 3-hour writing block on - they have a soft upper limit of 3000 words. They are intended for smaller ideas, or experiments with new kinks, themes, styles, formats etc. Express slots are at my standard rate and allow any idea I would normally write, as long as it is short enough.

You can be in both the Main and Express queues at the same time, but only once per queue. You must have an outline approved by me before I will add you to the Express queue (I need to verify that I think I can do it in 1 sitting), but I am perfectly happy to write one for you with your input. Express Queue stories must be self-contained; no "Part 1" shenanigans please, that's what the main queue is for. (Sequels to previous stories are fine, though)

How do I contact you?
PM me on Telegram (@Codelizard), Discord (shaaria), or Steam (thecodelizard), or send me a note on FA or a PM here on IB.
If you want to check if I'll do your idea before requesting a slot, go right ahead! I don't mind fielding inquiries.
If you only have a vague idea of what you want, I can help you come up with something.

How does it work?
1) Outlining: I need an outline to write a story. I will not start work on a story until I have a complete outline. If you do not have one, I can write one based on what you want. I am happy to help flesh out ideas.
2) Drafting: The actual "writing the story" bit. WIPs are provided in the form of a Google Doc where you have Commenter privileges but can't copy/paste text. Change requests will be noted but left until...
3) Editing: I will proofread the story from start to finish and make any necessary corrections, additions, or edits. Multiple rounds of edits are OK, but I will eventually cut you off if this goes on too long.
4) Payment: Once you have approved the story, I will send a PayPal invoice for an amount based on the final word count. After this point no further major edits are allowed.
5) Upload: Unless you request otherwise, I will post the story on

codelizard and here on IB. You may also upload a copy if you credit me for the work.

What content is acceptable?
"No"s
In an erotic context, I won't write about anything that makes me uncomfortable. The biggest offenders include but are not limited to:
- Blood/gore/torture/death/pain.
- Impregnation, Risk of Pregnancy, Birthing, etc.
- Humans or close humanoids (elves, dwarves, kemonomimi, orcs, etc) in sexual situations.
- Humiliation or Degradation.
- Grossness/filth emphasis.
- Foot fetish stuff
- Mentally immature characters (too young, mental issues, etc). Even though this is IB I don't do cub stuff. You do you, I won't judge, but I'm not willing to write it.

This generally doesn't apply to SFW narratives (for instance, adventurers getting into a fight will naturally require some violence; humans in SFW contexts are fine; children can be in non-erotic stories; etc). I treat erotica and narrative separately. If you need clarification, feel free to ask.

Stories containing both SFW and NSFW are case-by-case. I generally require some literary distance between them to avoid mood whiplash. For an example, check my "Small Fish, Big Pond" novel which blends narrative and erotica together; the heavy stuff is always separated from the porn.

"Yes"es
Just about anything else is fine. For reference, my favorite kinks (in no particular order) are ball-play, females/herms receiving anal sex, watersports, and dragons. You don't have to have any of these in a commission, but including them will make me more enthusiastic about your idea.

Any gender, time period, setting, species (except humans and humanoids in erotica), perspective, or tone (lighthearted <-> serious) is acceptable, but if I am unfamiliar with a setting I am not creating, I will likely need some advice/notes/help.

If you want a full list, check https://www.f-list.net/c/shaaria/ - this page is more helpful than Code's because it's deliberately categorized based on what I have actually tried.

Feel free to ask about any idea, even stuff from my No list, as there might be corner cases where I am okay with it due to the circumstances. Just be prepared for me to politely decline if I am not comfortable with the proposal.

Can I use someone else's OC(s)?
If you have permission, sure.

Can I use your OC(s)?
Maybe, just ask! Not only that, if the story features at least one of my characters in a major role, I'll give you a discount! See below for details.
Some of my characters have art on my

darkmark account, but if you want a full list of characters and who can/can't be used in commissions, see here.

Are there any discounts?
All discounts that apply lower my rate by $0.25/100 words each, and can stack. Tell me in advance if you intend to use an alternative form of payment so we can figure out the details ahead of time.
- OC Discount: If at least one of my characters features in a major role, you get a discount.
- Paying with art: If you commission a third party (ie, not your art) I will give you credit towards the bill, with a discount thrown in for your benefit. How much credit you get depends on the picture's contents and is case-by-case, so please ask.
-- You can get a double discount for a picture related to one of my personal stories. Check my Bounty List on FA!
- Paying with gift cards: I'll give you a discount if you pay this way. Since gift cards typically come in $5 increments I will also round down to a multiple of $5. Gift cards I currently accept include Steam, Nintendo, GrubHub, NewEgg, and Target gift cards. I do not accept Amazon gift cards. For anything else, ask.

Can I use AI art for character references?
Yes, if you tell me it's AI art. If you try to pass off AI art as non-AI art, I will blacklist you.

How fast do you write?
Currently I have a three 3-hour time windows blocked off: Sunday afternoons (reserved for Express slots), Wednesday evenings, and Friday evenings. I can get about 2500-3000 words done in each block of time. Work outside of this window is rare but not nonexistant; this is a hobby, not my job. Editing is done at other times, as it is much faster.

If you don't have an idea or outline ready by the time I get to your slot, I will push you down in the queue 1 place, move on to the next person, and come back to you when their commission is done.

Can I see samples of your work?
My tamer submissions that do not contain wasteplay stuff are all in this folder on FA or this IB pool:

+2
pool: No WS/Scat by Codelizard

Can I be anonymous?
Yes, but tell me this immediately, so that I don't put your name on my queue publicly.
You can also ask for me not to post a story at no extra charge, and if you change your mind at a later date I can publish it.
There are no take-backs though. I will not take down a published story, even at the commissioner's request.

Can I have multiple versions of a story?
Yes. I will only charge for words added/changed in additional version(s), if you want versions with/without a particular scene or kink or whatever.
Main queue slots always allow alternate versions. Express slots only allow changes that I can get to within the original writing period.

What's the deal with slots for yourself?
Every 4th main queue slot I reserve time to write for myself. This lets me pursue personal writing projects and helps me avoid getting burnt out. I don't reserve Express slots for myself.

Is it okay if I can't pay right away?
As long as you let me know, yes. If you need to wait for a paycheck to land or you run into unexpected financial problems, just give me a heads-up. However, you can't re-enter the queue nor will I give you editor permissions on the review copy until you pay.

How do cancellations work?
If I haven't gotten to you yet, cancellations are free and have no consequences, no questions asked. All commission slots (but not personal slots) under you will be bumped up the queue one place. You are free to enter into the queue again at any time, but you will be placed back at the bottom.

If I have already started on your slot, I will ask for a partial payment based on how many words I have already written. Until this is paid, you will not be allowed to re-enter the queue.

I found an error in a published story. Can I get it fixed?
Fixing typos, grammatical mistakes, or other minor errors (like the wrong character name) is always free no matter how long it has been since publication. Just contact me and let me know.

I have a picture made to go with a story! Can you link to it?
Absolutely! Just contact me with a link to the image and I'll add it to the description of the story in question, and put it in the Stories With Pictures pool if it wasn't there already.
