Gimme all your money! · 10:03pm Oct 3rd, 2012
So a friend has been nagging me all day about how I should take commissions to write fics for people. I told him it was a terrible idea, and other writers don't do it for a reason, but he insists I at least try. I'm making this post to satisfy him: Would you pay a couple bucks for a mediocre writer like me to write a fic for you? It would be up to you what it's about and all that, you can fit as many details as you want.
He also said I should mention that I'm really poor because apparently me being broke is gonna make someone else want to read a fic (totally logical, right?)
So yeah. Would you pay someone to write a fic for you?

What would you write for me? I might pay
400147 Anything you want, there is pretty much no limits to how specific or vague you can be. Just give me details and money and you'll get your fic. How many words are you expecting for "three fiddy"?
I wouldn't pay anyone to write a fic, mostly because I would write it myself. But hey, if someone is going to pay you for it, I say go for it.

Have him write a Hot Fuzz fic.
400313 Exactly my point. Writing isn't like art, it's not something you have to work for years to obtain any skill in (unless you're just naturally gifted :P)
Writing is easily done with a little imagination and time lol

Exactly! Your never going to get better if you don't practice, so why not practice with a fic instead of paying someone? Worst case scenario, you can get better and rewrite it later.
I mean, on occasion, I've asked Wildberk if there was anything in particular he wanted to see in my stories. Then if it was funny, I'd write it into my story, but I'd never ask him for money (mostly because I'm afraid he'd charge for his services).
400455 That's sort of how I currently am. I'm always asking people if they want mentions or jokes to be worked into my fic 'Hate Me'. And all the other fics I have written here are fics I wrote for friends for free because I was bored, I keep telling my friend it won't work but he won't believe me. I have to show him your comments when he gets back.
I gonna wonder if you would dare to write one-shot story that have been brewing in my head :P

I would definitely dare to hear your proposition. We can see how it goes after that
What did you have in mind?
714573 I MIGHT write the one-shot myself but Im just throwing out the idea to you. Ill send you it by private message
