As I mentioned last week, I’m going to be open for commissions from now until, well, until I decide to not be open anymore. The main reason for this, is that we’re moving to Amsterdam in three months, and international travel is expensive, etc., so a little extra monthly cushion would be much appreciated. You getting your perfect story written is just gravy, right? So here’s what I’ll be offering:
- 500-1000 word flash fiction or caption (you provide the photo) – $15
For those of you who want something short and sweet. I can either do a short sex scene, or if you have a photo you’d like to see a caption for, I’ll do something inspired by the picture. You have to provide the picture, if you want a caption, and it either must be a picture you have permission to use, or a link to a photo I can reblog.
- Short Story Commissions up to 5000 words – two cents a word, word count rounded to nearest 100 words. (a 3000 word story costs $60, a 5000 word story costs $100, etc.)
If you want something longer, we can do that too! I’m more than happy to discuss your ideas and desires, and hammer out a perfect story for you. I will also be offering a Patreon discount on short story commissions! Anyone who supports to me on Patreon will receive a 15% discount on their short story commission (flashes and captions don’t qualify) provided they are:
- a current Patreon contributor in good standing (i.e., whose last payment hasn’t declined),
- and they have previously contributed at least $5 to me through Patreon.
Easy enough right? If you’re interested in getting a commission, there are many ways to contact me, or just send me a message through tumblr, of course. There are a few other details to keep in mind, which make this a bit different that commissions I’ve done in the past, which are worth noting:
- There is no limit to the number of slots I’m offering – That means that you don’t have to worry about getting in late, or not getting a slot if you want one. However, a spot for everyone unfortunately means…
- If demand is high, I likely won’t be able to complete every request I get – I won’t know for sure until I see how people respond, but just because I give you a slot, does not guarantee that you will receive a story from me, even though I am going to try my hardest to finish every request I receive. This also means that…
- All payment will be received upon completion – Usually I ask for a chunk upfront, but because I can’t guarantee I’ll finish every request, I won’t ask for payment until your story is drafted. That said, you won’t see the story until you have sent me payment. Payment will only be accepted through paypal!
- Lastly, this is not a first come first served queue – While I will try to keep people from waiting too long, I will not be completing commissions in the order I receive them. My goal here is to get through as many of these as I can (depending, of course, on how many people want them) so if something looks easy or more appealing, I might prioritize it. Basically, the better I like your idea, and the simpler it is, the better chance you have of me writing it first.
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!
