Reposting this since new journals pushed it out of sight and idk how to pin it... and frankly I kinda need the money.

I've been writing a lot lately, and I recently learned that there was a market for writing commissions. I've done some writing for art trades in the past, but only rarely, and I never really considered offering my writing services for money. Now that I know there's actually some demand for this sort of thing though, I think it'll be fun to do, and if I can make money through commissions then I can purchase commissions myself... or just supplement my income and try to salvage my financial situation...


So let's give it a go, I'm officially opening myself up for commissions.


Some ground rules to establish

- I've typically avoided NSFW writing in the past, and have little experience with that sort of writing, but I will accept commissions involving it, just be aware that it is new territory for me.

- I reserve the right to refuse a commission whose content makes me uncomfortable for whatever reason, particularly when it comes to NSFW stuff

- I will not do any writing that relates to real world politics or religions, there's more than enough writing out there aimed to make people angry and start fights, I'm not going to add to that mess, even if we happen to be on the same side of whatever debate you want me to write on. Just don't even ask

- My regular job and responsibilities takes precedence over writing the commissions. Unless you own some sort of company and want to take me on full-time, I've got to focus on the job that is going to consistently pay my bills each month. That being said I will work on any commissions I take as quickly as I can.

- Since I will be charging on a word-count basis, it is possible that I will go over the originally intended word count. Depending on how far over the word count I go, I may or may not ask for payment for the additional words written. I am fine with going a bit over the limit for free if it means making a better story in the end, but if you commission me for 1000 words and the story take 3000 to complete... well at that point I kind of have to charge accordingly.

I may edit or add to those rules as I figure out exactly how I want to handle things. I'm new to the commission scene so I'll need to do some trial and error for my operating procedures at first.
---------
Now for pricing

These prices may change in the future, but if you've commissioned me at a price, you will not be expected to pay more if the price rises later.

The base price for any given commission is
$2.50 - 550 words

------
I also offer OC creation/consultation services. Want an OC made for a fandom, but can't seem to come up with any ideas? I've got you covered, I'll make an OC for you based on whatever specifications you give, granting you a beautiful new brainchild to use as you see fit.

Or perhaps you have an OC but there's some aspect of them you're working on that you just can't seem to work out the details for. Perhaps you need a unique ability for them but nothing is coming to mind, or you have to make a backstory for them and can't come up with anything. I'll help you work through whatever snag you've run into that's making it hard for you to flesh out and develop that lovely brainchild of yours.

$3.00 - OC creation
$1.00 - OC consultation


Disclaimer: depending on the fandom, these commissions may take longer to complete than an average commission, as if I am unfamiliar with the source material, it may prove difficult to make headway on it. That being said, I've watched a LOT of shows, played a lot of games, and read a lot of books, odds are this problem shouldn't come up too often.

How to commission me

Step 1: Comment here with the basic gist of what you want to commission, this will serve as your initial request.
Step 2: After I accept the commission, we will discuss more details via notes.
Step 3: Wait/answer whatever questions I may need to ask in order to clarify what you want if need be
Step 4: Receive your commission, if you upload it on DA, please credit me appropriately
Step 5: Enjoy :)


Payment methods

I accept both DA points and Paypal, but I prefer Paypal if given the choice.

So to any of my watchers who like to RP, I've got something to share with you all. For one thing, the site this is on is a good RP site I've used for years, even longer than I've been on DA if I recall, or at the very least close to as long. So even if this specific RP doesn't suit your fancy, there's others there you can check out. There's forums there with entire RP settings to make characters and RP threads in, run my mods to keep things fair and fun for all, plenty of people to interact with, even a discord server to chat in, which I'll provide to anyone interested.

So a while back I started up my own RP forum on the site, with an entirely original fantasy world of my own creation. It's full of lore, history, and an overarching story that I created, but that can be altered and affected by the actions of player characters within the world. At the time of its inception I'd drummed up a fair amount of interest for it and people were eager to make characters and take part. But after it was ready for business all those people up and vanished on me, so the RP has been kinda stagnant.

I've tried plugging the RP in the discord for the site plenty of times and renewed a bit of interest in it, but not enough, so I got the idea to share it here as well.


That link will bring you to the thread in which I explain much of the world's history/lore/etc... I hope to see some of you there. As an added incentive, anyone who comes from this journal and joins my RP will be permitted to start with a stronger character than normal. The RP has a stat system to help people compare themselves to other characters in battle, and more importantly size up NPC monsters to see if they stand a chance or if they should run for it, since character death is a reality in this RP if you pick a fight you can't win (I intend for full character death to be a rarity, but will not hesitate to do it if the character is in a situation where they have no way to survive. Usually such situations will be the result of foolish decisions on their part).

I put a lot of effort into crafting this RP world, setting, etc... so I do hope I can get it running properly. So I hope to see you there.

:iconpastelaine-art: has opened up requests for chibi or half-body drawings of characters (both canon and OC) for her watchers, I just got introduced to her myself but her art is really nice and I'm planning on entrusting one of my OCs to her and hoping she takes the request.

To get a request from her you need to be a watcher, have reference photos for her to use, and provide some information, and she won't take everyone's requests so don't be greedy and make too many.
