Commissions (2021)

Commissions
Updated August 2021

I’m a full-time, professional writer who has been taking commissions since 2011 and writing full-time since 2018, greatly increasing my turnaround time and creative output. I have a solid back catalogue of work across many varied kinks, niches and non-erotic genres and many happy clients too – essentially, I aim to please with my work! Taking this full-time was a huge leap and I am exceptionally pleased that I was able to offer even more services as a result to share my work with more people than ever.

The bulk of my work is erotic but please rest assured that I am more than happy to take on non-erotic content; the non-erotic stories that I write personally are usually posted elsewhere and non-furry in nature, which is why I keep them separate from commission work and similar. Anything goes in the non-erotic side, but please note that there is some content that I am uncomfortable writing in erotica, although I am happy to take on most niche kinks and fetishes! Further notes are in my terms and conditions, although there are only a couple of things that I will not tackle for legal and personal reasons.

My work hours, generally, are 8:00 to 16:00 on weekdays, although please be aware that I am UK-based and time zones may differ between us. I aim to respond within twenty-four hours on weekdays.

My best means of contact is by e-mail: [e-mail].

My rates are as follows, starting from 30 GBP per 1,000 words.

Short stories & novelettes
- 30 GBP per 1,000 words.
- Up to 20,000 words.

Novellas
- 40 GBP per 1,000 words.
- Up to 30,000 words.

Novels, longer novellas, projects and other work
- Base rate of 60 GBP per 1,000 words.
- Rate will increase if extensive project work but novels will be covered by this band at 60 GBP per 1,000 words.
- Word count to be discussed, 30,001 words and higher are covered by this price band.
- This includes script work and anything else to fall under the lengthier word scope (e.g. I have completed work on a visual novel text for a commissioner totalling 50,000 words, which will be built into a game).
- Covers character design, plotting/planning, additional review stages, writing, editing and final proofreading, as an example, for novel writing work.

Editing
- Base rate of 20 GBP per 1,000 words.
- Subject to change depending on complexity of editing requested.

Proofreading
- Base rate of 10 GBP per 1,000 words.

Idea generation
- Base rate of 60 GBP for an idea and plot for a 5,000 word story.
- Due to client request, I am now offering idea generation where I will put together an idea (based on your specifications and/or past work written for you) with a full plot that can then be written from.
- Includes one round of revisions, no major changes (e.g. plot cannot be scrapped and written again from scratch for an entirely new plot). Minor changes include changing a gryphon character to a dragon character, amending the list of NSFW details to include in the story, the order of scenes or swapping a scene out for one that you would prefer.
- For stories over 5,000 words, please contact me (may be a slight increase in the price depending on content, length and so on).

Rush fees
- Base rate of 50% of commission total: this will increase in busy times!
- Generally, this covers up to 20,000 words.
- Please contact me to discuss what can be accommodated.
- Higher word counts may also be accommodated, but please contact me to discuss availability to see what I can work in for you.
- Rush fee depends on workload and demand.

Please ask me about anything else you may like, such as critique (only available on request), character profiles or short snippets to accompany artwork.

All prices are in GBP.

Prices in currencies other than GBP (BP, British Pounds, Great British Pounds) are liable to change due to currency conversion rates. The GBP rate is fixed.

Terms of Service

Contacting Me

1. Please contact me via e-mail ([e-mail]) if you would like a commission or have a query.

Payment

2. Payment is by PayPal.
3. Payment is up front and I will invoice the commissioner for payment. Work is scheduled and confirmed after payment is received. Please do not send payment pre-emptively.
4. Story fees are not open to negotiation (please see journals for any special offers that may be running).
5. Once the work has been drafted (or, in the case of editing etc, completed), no refunds will be made.
6. If a refund is required before the work has been started, it will be refunded in full.
7. Payment plans are only accepted for work of 40,000 words or over and must be paid in full before the full draft is delivered.
8. Stories can be made anonymous for no additional charge.
9. Stories can be private for a charge at my discretion, which is a base rate of 30% depending on content.

Writing

10.I will not write about minors in adult situations (erotica): no underage characters are permitted in erotica at all. There are no exceptions to this and this is non-negotiable. This also covers loli/shota.
11.I will write R34 erotica, but the characters must not be underage in any instance.
12.I will not write about animal abuse.
13.Anthropomorphised feral characters (e.g. an eagle that is intelligent and able to fully consent to sexual intercourse in some method of communication that is not body language) are accepted. Anthropomorphised feral characters (a feral with human attributes, to the degree I have detailed in terms of intelligence and communication) must be able to consent and hold a conversation in the story. Please note that these stories will be taken on a case by case basis and I may decline these commissions, depending on the content.
14.Dragons, gryphons and other fantasy creatures are always accepted in feral form, along with monsters and any other creatures that do not exist.
15.Non-consensual erotica will be taken on a case by case basis and anything deemed abusive or beyond the realm of fantasy will not be accepted.
16.Once writing has begun, the story cannot be altered halfway through without incurring additional fees (such as changing from a modern setting to a medieval setting or adding new scenes). Large edits after writing has begun will result in additional fees and a change to lead times.
17.The story will be available for two rounds of edits, maximum, on the completion of the first draft at no additional charge. Minor edits include: changing a name, re-writing small sections, expanding on detail for a scene, including small snippets of fresh information (e.g. note to occupation) and other. As stated, major edits, such as adding a scene that was not discussed or changing the location, will incur an additional fee to cover the increased word count and time cost.
18.Edits also cover writer errors, which will always be covered without question, although I endeavour not to have these occur. Grammar and typo edits are also covered.

Patreon & SubscribeStar

19.All stories will be uploaded to Patreon and SubscribeStar (where allowed) after the first draft has been completed (after sending to the commissioner), unless otherwise requested.
20.Please request that your story is kept off Patreon and SubscribeStar if needed: there will be no additional fee for this.
21.Private stories will not be uploaded to Patreon and SubscribeStar by default.

Copyright

22.I retain copyright of the stories as my creation. Commissioners may upload my stories however they like (furry sites, erotica sharing sites etc), with credit and a link back to me.
23.Commissioners may not earn money from my stories unless otherwise discussed and an additional fee paid to allow re-sale or paid distribution in any form.
24.If selling a character, stories may be sold with that character to pass on ownership of a character, fursona, persona etc and the usual credit given to the writer where shared (credit and a link back to me).
25.Please feel free to contact me about ghost writing services - I am open to discussion. These will be of a higher rate depending on content.
26.Stories may be uploaded by myself as eBooks for sale (this is similar to how an artist uploads prints for sale).
27.Please request if you would not like your story to be available as an eBook; this will not result in an additional fee.
28.Copyright on the work itself is retained by the author.

I am best contacted by e-mail ([e-mail]) and thank you for your interest in my work! Unfortunately, I am not able to discuss commissions via IM services (this includes Telegram, Whatsapp, Discord and others) or Twitter due to my schedule and time zone differences.
