Opening for Commissions [CLOSED]
10 years ago
Figuring out a different header. Old one cluttered things up too much lol.
<EDIT>After thinking on it and looking at the prices of some other writers, it seems that I'll need to drop my price a bit to be more competitive. So, to start off I'm cutting the rate in half to $1.00 per 100 words.</EDIT>
There's no real easy way to say this. I've just had a very sudden change in employment status. So that means I'm gonna be pressed for cash very, VERY soon if I can't find another stable source of income. As such, I'm gonna need to bring in some supplemental income from just about any source that I can tap into until I can find stable employment again. The job hunt takes priority over this, of course, but I'll need to fill in the dead time with busy work for income.
That said, I suppose now is as good a time as any for me to capitalize on my ability to write. So, I'm opening up for story commissions for the first time ever, at a rate of $1.00 per 100 words, rounded to the nearest hundred words. Which means a 5000 word story will run around $50.00, for those doing the math. I don't know if this is expensive or just right, but right now this is the price I need to charge in order to have any chance of being able to make ends meet if the job hunt takes more than two weeks. I gotta keep a roof over mine & my partners' heads, and food in our stores for if our food stamps card runs out. I'd like to try and average 5k words per story for about 10 stories (if I can pump out that many within two weeks).
TL;DR: COMMISSION RATE: $1.00 per 100 words, rounded to nearest 100 words
WHAT I WILL AND WILL NOT DO:
1) Clean stories are A-OK. Dirty stories are dependent upon my own personal limits and preferences.
2) Until I can get a proper listing sorted out, I'm gonna toss up this link to illustrate what I will/won't do as far as fetish/kink content goes: http://dragarch.com/kinks/
2,A) Anything that's on the red list is a no-no for various reasons.
2,B) Anything on the blue list I can definitely do.
2,C) If you want a story that includes stuff on the yellow list, please be patient as there may be a mild delay while I try to figure out good ways to work it into the story.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
1) I will require an initial deposit of $20 (for 1000 words) that I will hold on the side until the story is complete. If I am unable to complete the story, this deposit will be refunded, no questions asked. If the story is less than 1000 words (such as a short story), then the difference will be refunded. Until I can find a better way to motivate myself to actually work on and finish stories, this solution will have to suffice.
2) Upon completion of the story, final payment of the quoted amount (minus the $20 deposit) will be required prior to shipping
3) You may specify a -preferred- word count, and I will make a best effort to fit the story within that word count. However, I am prone to getting on a roll and writing a lot more words than intended in some cases. Just to warn ahead of time, upper length limits were the bane of my existence in school. >_>;
4) You may request your story commission to be private (that is, not posted publicly by me). However, if you wish to post the story publicly yourself, then the commission WILL NOT be eligible for a request to be private.
5) I will do my best to regularly communicate the intended plot and scenes in the story so that you can point me in the direction that you want your commission to go. If I am unsure about what your character should/would do in a particular situation, I will ask for clarification.
6) Please be respectful in your communication with me. This does not mean that I won't tolerate cussing or HR-unfriendly jokes because I do a lot of that myself. I have a very low tolerance for abusive or harassing conduct towards me, and I will not put up with such behaviour. (I got enough of that from customers in my now-previous job.) I WILL request a cease and desist of the abusive behaviour. If I am forced to terminate a commission due to excessively abusive or harassing conduct after repeat requests to cease and desist, I WILL NOT refund the deposit.
7) I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECLINE BUSINESS TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON!
COPYRIGHT STUFF:
1) The stories that I write are stories that -you-, the commissioner, paid for. Thus, copyright on shipped stories shall be divided 50/50. It shall be this way for the reasons stated in #3 and #4 below.
2) You may post the story anywhere that you desire. Since it is -your- story that -you- paid for, -you- have every right to post it up and brag about it.
3) PLEASE credit me as the author of the story. A link back to the original is highly preferred, but just give credit where credit is due. That is all that I ask for.
4) You may make edits to the shipped story as desired, but PLEASE at least credit me as the original author and indicate that your edited versions are edits and link back to the original that I produced. Otherwise, it's your story to tweak and modify to your tastes.
HOW TO ORDER:
1) PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS JOURNAL TO REQUEST A SLOT! I WILL HAVE A VERY HARD TIME KEEPING TRACK OF THINGS! IF YOU WISH TO REQUEST A SLOT, SEND AN EMAIL TO: calyo[at]dragarch[dot]com
2) PLEASE INCLUDE THE PHRASE "COMMISSION REQUEST" IN THE SUBJECT SO THAT MY EMAIL FILTERS WILL SORT IT PROPERLY! (Or at least include the words "commission" and "request" in the subject! My filter uses a regular expression, so it's not picky. :> )
3) Please be patient while I review the order and determine whether or not I am able to accept it. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to accept the request, but I will do my best to accommodate.
4) I WILL NOT request the deposit until I am ready to start on your commission, and I WILL NOT request final pay until the story is ready to be shipped. Currently, I can accept only PayPal as a payment method. Send payment as a "Goods & Services" payment to dragon[dot]architect[at]gmail[dot]com
AVAILABLE SLOTS:
1.
chaz-fox Glue trap & teasing [COMPLETE]
2.
digitalpotato Bondage tape torment, Velsadin vs. Doulstrasz [COMPLETE...finally XD]
3.
marjask Continuation of "Birth of a Goddess"
4. marjask Toy handles playtime for Marjask and Calyo
EDIT
I've completely forgotten about this journal, but since I got a new job a whole lot faster than I thought I would, and I've had to devote more time & energy to that and other Adult Responsibilities™, I just don't have sufficient time to take on a larger queue than what I have now. So I'm gonna keep the current queue as it is and work on that when I can. In the future, I may open for one or two slots at a time as I see fit.
