Short fiction commissions
Do you like words? Do you like words written for you? If so, you’re in luck, because I’m opening up short fiction commissions for the first time! It’s like art, but with words.
What does this mean? Well, it means that you can pay me to write something for you. Examples of my writing include my two serials, my fanfiction (don’t judge my subject matter!), and a short story I wrote last year.
What I will write: A lot of stuff. I’m most proficient with science fiction and first person present, but I can adapt to any style/POV/tense with relative ease, and am comfortable in a range of genres. What do you want? Let’s talk, I’m up for experimenting!
What I won’t write:
- Explicit sex scenes/explicit physical intimacy
- Super-explicit violence
- Hateful content
- Fandoms I have 0 knowledge in
- Extended fight scenes (if you want an all-action story, I’m the wrong gal!)
- A script
- Ongoing stories (AKA multi-chapter)
But how much????
- 1000 words: $30 USD
- Under 5000 words: $35 USD
- Under 10,000 words: $50 USD
- Under 15,000 words: $65 USD
- Anything over 15,000 words will be charged my hourly writing rate.
- I do write for games, but game writing will generally be charged my hourly rate. This can be up to negotiation depending on what you’re wanting.
If you’re interested, hit me up at [email protected] with your ideas, or your questions! Patrons on Patreon will get preference for commission slots.
Letting Your Character Grow
You have a character, and she’s your new baby. She has a picture-perfect face, and a name researched for days that exactly sum up her personality and her role within the narrative. Three chapters into the story, and she’s already pulling at the leash, wanting to turn left when the plan dictates turning right.
Sometimes, a character grows beyond their creator, forming opinions and traits that alter their trajectory. If you’re unprepared, an especially rebellious character can entirely throw a story’s path into turmoil.
Not every writer experiences their characters suddenly gaining a will of their own, and others will very seriously state that these characters must be kept very firmly on their destined track—you are in control!
No two people write exactly alike, nor will they experience the writing process the same way. I’m going to talk about how I—as someone who throws the reins free the instant I begin a story—approach character creation and growth.
