Now Taking Commissions! · 8:41pm Jun 19th, 2021
Hello!
I’m Red Parade, self-proclaimed fan of obscure ponies and background characters, and I’m opening for commissions! I’m fairly new to this whole business but I figured I’d give it a go to see how things turn out. Everything you should know is outlined below: a TLDR is provided at the end of this post but I urge to read the entire thing carefully if you want to commission me.
So let’s start with the basics: what I accept, what I don’t, and my current rates.
Info
So what do I do?
Having published over sixty stories on FimFic so far, I can confidently say that I’ve developed a good wheelhouse of genres. In fact, I’ve used mostly every FimFic blue genre tag at least once!
I consider my strongest genres to be slice of life, romance, and sad fics. That being said, I’d be open to most anything: slice of life stories, romance with obscure pairings, horror fics about spooky places, etc. etc. I will take OC’s on a case by case basis but please be prepared to provide references and descriptions of them.
NEW THIS YEAR: I will accept NSFW requests, BUT I will be extremely selective with what I decide to do. Additionally, I charge a rate of $30 per 1,000 words if I pick your idea. I have several hard no's including foalcon or anything involving minors, scat, and blood as a fetish. I may also decline the idea if it makes me uncomfortable or I do not feel I can handle it well.
Additionally, if you want to commission an idea that is outside of MLP such as an original story or a fanfic for another fandom, I will consider the request and will negotiate details if I decide to accept.
Pricing
My current rate is $20 per 1,000 words for SFW stories ($30 per 1,000 for NSFW stories). I will send an invoice once we confirm the details and start the story within 48 hours after I confirm the payment has been received.
Payment will be done through a PayPal invoice: please have an email address that you are comfortable sharing with me ready.
IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND:
- Before those 48 hours pass, I will fully refund you.
- After those 48 hours pass but before I complete half of the story, I will fully refund you.
- After those 48 hours pass and I have already completed half of the story, I can not refund you.
Please let me know if you change your mind as soon as possible, as I can not offer you a refund if I have already completed a good portion of the story.
The fic you will get will be pre read and edited before it is published. Cover art will likely be a simple stock photo or a still from the show: I am not comfortable using other people’s art without permission.
Qualifications
So, why should I be trusted to take your commission?
I have been writing MLP fanfics since 2017 and as I stated earlier have logged 60 published stories under my belt in a variety of genres. I have also been featured eight times on Equestria Daily, once by Seattle’s Angels, and once by the Royal Canterlot Library.
In addition, I have completed several commissions previously as rewards for Quills and Sofas winners as proof that I do deliver:
And if that’s not enough, I was also a participant for Jinglemas where I completed the assigned fic and three more as a Breezie (replacement fics for people who failed to complete their stories):
Commissioning
So if you read all that and are interested in commissioning me, great! Here’s what I’d like:
Please fill out this form if you would like to commission me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvW57mo_2v4u0TQWoKeO_VQqbMp1wDkQ0NXgcvym4in8fs7w/viewform?usp=sf_link
Please outline what you would like including characters, plotline or prompt, goal word count, and any other details you feel are necessary. If you’re messaging me over Discord please include your FimFiction name as well.
Once we agree on the scope of the fic, I will send you an invoice through PayPal. When the payment is received, I will let you know when I have started on your story and provide progress reports if asked. When I have completed writing and editing the story, I will link you to the google document for you to view and request minor changes. After that, the story will be published to FimFic.
TL;DR:
- Pricing is currently $20 per 1,000 words for SFW and $30 per 1,000 words for NSFW done through PayPal invoice. Pony stories are the main focus but original stories/other fandoms may be negotiated.
- NSFW requests are heavily selective and are automatically declined if they contain foalcon, scat, or blood as a fetish.
- Refunds will be granted 48 hours after your initial payment, or after 48 hours and before I complete half of the story. Requests after 48 hours and after I complete half of the story will not be granted.
- Fill out this form to commission me.
- Fiddlesticks is best pony.
And that’s that! Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
good luck! (i hope you're ready to write a lot of self-insert HiE x pony romances lol)
