Open Commissions - January 2014 · 9:11pm Dec 19th, 2013
I'll be taking paid commissions starting from early January 2014 for stories you have that you want someone or me to write for you. Below I'll outline how it will work and what will be done with regards to you sending me your idea and all that
Stories
Seeing as its two weeks until I get back to my computer, start thinking about what you want me to write now; get image references, plan what characters you want to see, all that before the date of the 6-7th January when they open. When you send me a PM, i must have an abundance of information, characters, fetishes to explore and all that in it. This is so I know what to do and as I'm writing you don't suddenly remember something just as I finish.
Story commissions can be almost anything you want; Rarity's parlour after dark, or Sombra screwing his way to the top. I'm a very understanding person and I won't get judgemental based on what you want, because I've seen it all already and it can't shock me. That said, simply because I'd have no real enjoyment writing it, I'd have to say no water sports/scat/farting/foals/diapers. It just simply isn't my thing and while I understand there's a limited amount of stuff for it, I will not be contributing to its numbers.
If I haven't mentioned not writing it, or you think I might not, just send me a quick message saying "Are you ok with drawing 'soft vore?" for example and I'd respond with "Sure." If you would like a story featuring a character who is not yours, then provide proof that the owner of that character is ok with you asking me for it, either in a screenshot or a link to their comment (latter preferable). I will also contact them separately to ensure you haven't been shooping or changing the HTML text.
Pricing
I've asked around with some writer friends of mine as to what's the normal amount they'd charge, then for my egos sake I went up a bit for friendly competitions sake. I decided on a linear price rate of 1c/word which scales up to $50/£30 for a 5k fic. You state a word estimate with your PM, and I'll try to get as close as I can, and note there is no word upper limit, though it will take a lot longer if you ask for a 50,000 word fic over a 3k one. Between 5 and 10k is preferable for single chapter for pacing.
Rate: $10.00 per 1000 words (minimum base price)
e.g. Servant of the Sun would be $171 as it was 17,100 words. I will do typical rounding up or down to make it more even so you don't have to pay in pennies.XXX0 to XX49 words will be rounded down, and XX50 to XX99 will be rounded up. Again, I don't want to be paid in odd change. Payments will be half before, half after publishing and paid to my paypal when I can finally get the fucker working. When I get it working, I'll make a new journal to say so.
If you would like more than one chapter, then the pricing will stay the same as if it was a long story, but next chapters will be in a reserved slot next month. Maximum 5 chapters.
With regards to publishing rights, I withhold the right to publish it publicly as I would any other story, with a [Commissioned] tag and your fimfic ID in the brief. I will also post to gDoc and pastebin if you wish [+$2.00 USD] in addition to Fimfic. The original word document can be sent as a .text or a .docx or a .rtf file directly to you [+$2.00 USD]
Content
As I said before, I'll do most things without any problem, but I'll list below what I won't do. If its not there, I'll do it, but if you have a concern/question, ask me and tag your PM as [Inquiry]. I'll respond within 12h.
No:
Scat/Watersports/Fart
Death/Extreme Gore/Non BDSM violence
Underage (CMC will be age shifted to legal for horses, though this doesn't count if they're background)
Equestrian Girls (shit movie, shit character design, Sunset Shimmer still ok but in Equestria only)
Yes:
FxF, MxF, MxM, FFM, MMF, FFF, MMM etc (you get the deal)
Ass Worship
Pony, Anthro, Human and mixing
Slots
Up to 5 slots a month, entered in on a first-come-first-serve basis, and an update to the journal will be made when they are filled.if you are sixth to apply, you will NOT be first for the next month, and so you'll have to apply again. Repeat customers will have a slight advantage only when it comes to which one I start first, not for retaining a spot for next month, I don't take bribes.
Contact Me
Preferred by FimFic private message.
So get to thinking. Don't send in your requests right now, I won't read them, I'll make a journal when I am.
Oh, and no autism level OCs that are more powerful than Equestria combined. That shit doesn't work story wise, though well-thought out and non-pony OC creator ones are allowed.
