Commission information
Is there a fic you've always wanted to read but don't have the skill/time to write yourself? You've come to the write place :)
Commissioning a fic from me will allow you to create your own story using my words. I'll work with you every step of the way to make sure the final product is what you wanted.
If you aren't sure whether I'm the author for you, you can check out some examples of my writing below.
OK then! Do you have an idea for an awesome fic and are ready to start the process? Click below to get in touch with me:
Even if you can't commission me right now, I would very much appreciate it if you could share my commission information either on Twitter or tumblr, or by sharing the link to this carrd.

Terms and conditions
1. General terms
While I will try my best to accommodate your wishes, I reserve the right not to write any subject material that makes me uncomfortable, even if that subject appears on my "will write" list
I will usually retain the rights to the final fic, including the right to publish it on my personal websites (including archives like AO3), and use it to promote my work. However, if you specifically ask that the fic remain private, I am willing to discuss this
I will gift the fic to your AO3 handle if you have one
If you wish to remain anonymous I will not make your name public, but I may still publish the fic as an "anonymous commission"
You may use the final fic for personal use
You may link to the fic on any platform
You may create or commission artwork for the fic
You may not claim the fic as your own work, publish the fic under your own name, nor redistribute it for profit (such as in zines, etc)
2. Payment & refunds
Payment is accepted via Paypal in US Dollars, or via ko-fi if you requested a ko-fi drabble
Tips are appreciated :) You can also buy me a ko-fi if you like
For non-drabble commissions I ask for 50% upfront and the remaining 50% once the fic is delivered (Work will not start until the 50% upfront payment is delivered, and the final fic will not be sent to you until I receive the final 50%)
For drabbles, payment is asked for upfront
If you require a refund before or within 2 days of making the first payment, your 50% deposit will be refunded via Paypal, minus any transaction fees incurred
If you require a refund after the above period, a percentage of the deposit will be refunded depending on the amount of work done
No refunds will be issued after completion
3. Process & timelines
Once you contact me expressing interest in a commission, I will get back to you to discuss your idea and find out more information
If you don't provide a required nr of words, I will quote you with the amount of words I think the story will need
Please note that, even if you give me a requested nr of words, depending on the complexity of your idea, it might not be possible to keep to those limitations. I will discuss this with you in the initial stages
I will usually start working on your fic around 1-2 days after receiving 50% of your payment
I will provide you with a summary and a bullet-point outline of the fic, and a link to my progress doc on Google Docs, allowing you to comment with any changes you would like
I will allow changes until the final editing process starts
I do not provide a beta reader
I will aim to deliver your fic within the following timelines:
Words | Completion time |
---|---|
~300 | 1 week |
300~1000 | 2-4 weeks |
1000-5000 | 4-6 weeks |
5000+ | 8 weeks~ |
Please note that the above are only estimates. While I will try to complete your fic within the times listed, times may vary if I have multiple commissions or am busy with work. I will always keep you up to date with my estimated timelines.
4. Will / won't write, and fandoms/pairings
I will write:
Any rating
Tropes (h/c, sickfic etc)
AUs
Platonic (non-romantic ship/genfic)
PWP
Consensual BDSM / aftercare**
Genderswap
etc... if you aren't sure, just ask!
**may have an additional charge if any research is required
I won't write:
Torture
Humiliation
Noncon/rape
A/B/O and/or beastiality
Mpreg
Watersports/related
OCs/inserts
Fandoms/pairings I will write for:
Voltron: Legendary Defender → sheith, allurance, punk, calfor, prekerb-adashi, kadashi
Star Wars sequel trilogy → kylux, finnrey, finnpoe
The Untamed/CQL/MDZS → wangxian, songxiao, xuexiao, nielan, 3zuns
X-Men: First Class → cherik
Lord of the Rings → Aragorn/Legolas, Legolas/Gimli, Frodo/Sam, Aragorn/Arwen, Elladan/Elrohir
Rates
Tier | Words | Rate |
---|---|---|
Drabble | Up to 300 | One ko-fi |
2 | 300 to 5000 | US$10 per 1000 words |
3 | More than 5000 | US$15 per 1000 words over 5000 |
So for example, if you requested an 8000-word fic, it would work like this:
(Tier 2 x 5) + (Tier 3 x 3) = US$50 + US$45 = US$95 total
If you aren't sure how many words to commission, I'm happy to give you an estimate if you let me know your idea, and any specific tropes you wish included.
