Reason for Commissions and Guidelines · 5:13am Jan 30th, 2023
So remember a few years ago when I said that I was leaving Fimfic for greener pastures? Well, life happened in the meantime, and to be blunt, I kinda need money, because I am a full time college student working two jobs and still struggling to make ends meet because the writing career still has yet to manifest.
To that end, I decided to come back and leverage the small fanbase I amassed (however many of you are left or even remember me) and start doing commission writing. This way I can keep flexing my writing skills, earn some extra cash in return for it, and deliver stories that people want to see. Everyone wins.
Guidelines for commissions are as follows:
-1. I have consulted many a fellow writer, and have decided that the price will be $15 USD for every thousand words. The rough wordcount of a story will be decided on by myself and the client in advance, and payment will be handled via CashApp or Ko-fi in order to not dox either of ourselves in the process. I would prefer to have payment up front once an agreement is reached.
-2. As previously mentioned, I am still a full time college student working two jobs. I can only work on 2 or 3 commissions at a time, and I will try to get commissions out as soon as I am able, but sometimes life might get in the way and delay things. I will always keep clients in the loop if this is the case, however.
-3. The subject and content of commissioned stories can be (almost) anything and everything. Crossovers, pony-only stories, stories about one or more OCs, you name it.
-3.1. If a crossover with a property I am unfamiliar with is requested, I will put in the work to get familiar with the source material in order to write the desired story. If the requested story stars one or more OCs, it will be on the commissioner to provide ample reference information regarding how they look, act, their character traits, etc. Both cases will delay the delivery of the story, but not by too much.
-3.2. As the writer, I still reserve the right to refuse a request for any reason. If this happens, it will be done long before any money trades hands.
-4. Written smut can be requested for double the cost. Just like SFW fiction, this can be about almost anyone or anything, crossovers included.
-4.1. Likewise, I reserve the right to refuse to fulfill any smut requests. As a general guideline, my immediate refusal kinks for this will include: Gore/heavy bloodplay, scat, watersports, male/male sex, pegging, inflation, sounding, NTR/cheating*, rape or any other kind of nonconsent, anything that breaks site rules (obviously), and foot fetishes. Anything not listed here will be okay, rejected, or an extra charge at my own discretion.
-4.1.1. To be pedantic, I do not include swinging/partner swapping under NTR/cheating, so those would still be fine.
-5. SFW shipping is perfectly acceptable in any combination of canon characters, OCs, crossovers, genders, etc. That being said, I may still refuse to write certain ships if any canon characters involved have such bad chemistry that I have to drastically change their character traits to make it work.
-6. Regarding my old works: Yes, I left several fics unfinished when I originally retured from here. Unfortunately, I have no interest to come back and finish them, as not only have I lost interest in those stories, I have grown to recognize many shortcomings in how I originally wrote them, and I would not be satisfied with revisiting the idea unless I were to go back to square one and start them over from the beginning. With that being said, crossovers that are identical to ones I have done in the past, finished or otherwise, are fair game to request. However, if such a story is requested, I will rework the entire crossover from the ground up, to better fit the new standards I hold myself to, as well as to avoid retreading the same ground. I am truly sorry to those who hoped that one day those old stories would be somehow finished, but I will not budge on the matter.
If you are interested in making a commission request, PM me and we can discuss and make arrangements. I will update my profile tagline to reflect whether or not commissions are open at the time.
Welcome back, if only for a little while.

I'll be hanging around for the foreseeable future doing commission stuff, so in a way you could see this as me being back for good.
