My commissions are currently: Open on all fronts! Unless otherwise stated, there's a slot available for you!

(Toyhouse, Flight Rising, AO3)

TLDR: My commissions are priced per word (I write at 0.0133 cents per word, you can figure out what I can do with your price range here). I will write (almost) anything, including sexually explicit works!

A list of completed commissions can be found here! (Off-site)

I do not post completed NSFW commissions, but can provide an example on request.

What I do: Write!!, Beta Read/Edit, Rewrite

My main tricks:

Fanfiction (1k words/chapter/piece) | $26.60 🚸SFW🚸 | $53.20 🔞NSFW🔞

5k+ word example (fic w/ 5 chapters + one headcanon tab) | PM for NSFW example.

Character biography (1k words minimum) | $13.30 🚸SFW🚸, $26.60 🔞NSFW🔞

2,000 word example | No NSFW examples available. (10/3/24)

I work Mon-Fri 10 AM - 3 PM EST for five hours after I start nonstop, save food and bathroom breaks.

I specialize in fanfiction, slashfic, original character biographies (you own the world/story), fan character biographies (you do not own the world/story.)

(1) I require full, up-front payment, work will not begin until payment exchanges hands, be it FRC (done through PMs) or PayPal (done through invoice, USD.) (2) I won't write anything with regards to politics, past or present, dead or alive. (3) I won't write RPF or parodies of real people, dead or alive. (4) There are certain franchises I flat-out refuse to write, but I'll still beta read for them. These include but are not limited to Harry Potter, Homestuck, JJBA, Dragon Ball, Minecraft SMP RPs. (5) By commissioning me for a non-personal fanfic (specifically you, the commissioner x canon), you consent to me posting it to my AO3 account. (6) By commissioning me, you agree to credit me when my writing is used. (7) By commissioning an explicit piece from me, you agree that you are over 18 years of age.

!! Additionally, with regards to any sexually explicit commissions, there are some kinks/fetishes I absolutely will not write for without proper bribe. !!

What constitutes as a 🔞Not Safe For Work🔞 piece? Any explicit on-screen sex/foreplay/masturbation or a focus/premise solely around sexual/fetish play involving one or more characters. This includes more subtle fetishes wherein sexual pleasure is not explicitly derived.

...Or, if you wouldn't want your close family members or boss to read it. If you wouldn't want your pearl clutching grandma to see it, you'll want to tell me if it's meant to be explicit. (And, also, I can kind of tell.)

I will beta read anything, even my 'I won't write these' properties. Beta reading prices are based off of how many words you have in intervals of 500 words, starting at 1,000 words. It'll be rounded up or down depending on what you're closer to (1k or 1.5k for example). Includes edits. If I beta read for you, you do not need to credit me.

Requires using Google Docs with comments enabled. Ensure it is set to anyone with the link is allowed to view & comment.

1,000 words: $10.00 🚸SFW🚸, $20.00 🔞NSFW🔞 | 1,500 words: $15.00 🚸SFW🚸, $30.00 🔞NSFW🔞 | 2,000 words: $20.00 🚸SFW🚸, $40.00 🔞NSFW🔞 | ETC... (GOES UP IN INCREMENTS OF 500 WORDS=5$)

Queue is indefinite as I can beta read a lot faster than I can write. Don't worry about a queue here, I will halt these if I need.

Rewrites will be priced based on wordcount. They will use my standard set of rules and prices with regards to SFW and/or NSFW works.

Requires using Google Docs with comments enabled. Ensure it is set to anyone with the link is allowed to view. I will copy the document and start rewriting it.

Queue is indefinite until further notice!

Only You - A short Astarion x Tav/Reader/You ficlet. 427 words.

Astarion deals with feeling unlovable due to his curse, PTSD, and "200 years of shit, pure shit." Possible spoilers.

You/Tav/Reader is gender neutral with no details given. Small warning for implied sexual abuse and just. General abuse. Nothing explicitly stated, but it's Astarion.

Spotify Playlist.

Who would want someone like you?

That was a question Astarion had asked himself into the mirrors that reflected everyone, everything but him, more than once. Though he could not see his expression, he knew it wasn't a pleasant one, based on the reactions countless others had given him.

While he had won his body (among countless others) back from Cazador, some part of him remained trapped yet.

Perhaps it was a part of him that had never grown up. The part that died in his brain with his family. Either way, he found himself looping back to the same question yet again.

Who would want someone like you?

Who would want a vampire?

And- Even those who did, they didn't truly want a vampire, he believed- And if they did, they wanted a master, not a spawn. Someone to turn them, give them the "gift" of unending life, eternal youth, the curse of unending hunger. They had mixed stories of incubi and succubi with vampires, with abused spawns like himself- No, they didn't want a traumatized vampire. They wanted this fantastical, idealized, sexualized, fictional figure.

One who could save you from the evils of the world at a cost, one who would bleed you within an inch of your life and promptly make love to you, one who would show no signs of the trauma of death, being forcibly brought back from it, from being used for over two-hundred years, one who wasn't him.

No one wanted someone like him. He who was skittish of any form of contact, he who shut down when he was touched or looked at wrong, he who held resentment for those who didn't help him when he needed it most, he who couldn't bring himself to show his true emotions, no, no one could, no one but-

But you.

You, who had broken through his walls on this night. As he, through sobs, rambled and ranted about how burned he was, how lonely he was, how should he find a partner, they would have to be separated by the sun and moon or change for him, how for him, the relationship would be for but a breath, and he would have to, one day, say goodbye.

You, who was so gentle with him, taking his hand into yours, leaning in so he had someone to cry upon, someone who was so kind, even when he felt he did not deserve it, even when he truly didn't deserve it.

Through everything, you were there.

And for Astarion, it was only you.

Writing Resources

Here is a list of writing resources I’ve found useful, in no particular order: 

Words, Descriptions, Writing Help

Power Thesaurus: The BEST resource for “tip of the tongue” syndrome

OneLook Reverse Dictionary

Writerology: This site is trying to sell you stuff. But there are also a ton of great articles in their free blog

Descriptionary: Help describing emotions and other things

Grammarly: Don’t take it too seriously and remember you’re the final arbiter of your own writing voice, but it can help you see things you won’t on your own

Hemingway: Similarly to Grammarly, will help with clarity and cadence, as long as you don’t take its suggestions as marching orders. Available online or as a downloadable desktop app.

Worldbuilding

Vulgar: Conlanging tool.  Free and paid versions, the free is still very useful, but I have the paid version and have definitely gotten my money’s worth from it (but I like conlanging).  Learning curve is a little steep.

Inkarnate: Mapmaking tool. Again, free and paid versions are both solid.

A World-Building Checklist: VERY comprehensive

Fantasy Globe: Create a virtual globe of your fantasy world

Name Generators

Fantasy Name Generators: The gold standard

Donjon Generators: Generators for names (including from your own list of names), as well as a lot of other things, like maps, calendars, inns, towns, even whole worlds.

Fake Name Generator: Generates demographic info, fake addresses and phone numbers, height/weight, etc. along with names

Not Another Tavern Generator: Generates bars complete with bartenders and general atmosphere, primarily for fantasy settings

Miscellaneous:

Unsplash: Free images with blanket permissions for personal use. Great for covers/headers.

NASA Image and Video Library

Compare the Heights of Your Chars

Writing With Color: Words for Skin Tone: How to describe POC with sensitivity and artistry

Describing characters of color in writing: First of NK Jemisin’s excellent three-part series on this topic, with real examples from various works
