Now accepting writing commissions!

Hello, my friends!

You may know me from my Marcia/Outsiders fics or from the many other fandoms I've written fics for! Fun fact about me: I have one and a half degrees in writing (haven't completed my master's degree yet).

Fic writing is one of my favorite things to do and keeps my creativity flowing while I'm stuck doing boring content writing in my day job. With this in mind, I'd love to open up commissions specifically for fics. Want a fic with a specific prompt or ship? I can do that for you!

Now, given that this is.... legally frowned upon.... there are some rules I have to put in place to keep myself safe.

Steps to asking for a commission:

DM me with a prompt so that I can make sure I'm able to complete it!

Tell me the prompt, the ship/characters/fandom, and about how many words you're looking for (word count affects pricing, which will be discussed in this post).

Head over to ko-fi. com/avg20 (without the space in the middle there) and submit your payment with a private message attached so that I know who you are and what commission it belongs to!

Pricing:

500 - 1,000 words - $5

1,000 - 2,500 words - $10

2,500 - 5,000 words - $20

What I will and won't write:

Yes:

Fandoms: just The Outsiders for now!

Ships: Marbit, Marcia/Ace, CherryCola, Parry (more to be added if I start writing them)

Other characters and friendships are more than welcome!

Tags and themes: Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Fluff

No:

NSFW

Incest

SA, non-con, etc.

Other important things:

I would prefer if you didn't share your commission publicly once I complete it. It's safer for me to keep writing these if it's harder to track down that it was a work that was paid for.

Sending a private message on Ko-Fi with your donation is essential!!! The message MUST be private so that it doesn't show up on my public page.

DM me first so that I can confirm whether or not your prompt fits in my parameters! I don't want you to pay for something I can't do.

All of this said, I hope you'll consider a commission from me! I love writing and I love these characters so much.

Final Bev Novel chapter! Finally got around to posting it 😂

[cherrysmarcia]

show notes from a few days ago?

Yes!!!

Okay, so I was there August 5th, at the evening show!

Full cast, with Josh Ponyboy! And Barton!!! God, I've missed Barton...

I love Strobl so much, and his performance was absolutely killer. I saw the show with my dad (his first time seeing it!!) and he immediately loved Josh so much! He couldn't believe he was an understudy!

Great Expectations was insane, and Josh was right in front of us for a lot of it, and it was so powerful. He just emotes so well!!

During the breakup, when Bob draws the line in the gravel with his foot, I happened to be exactly lined up with it and Nicholas kicked a bunch of it into my face lmao. 10/10 experience.

I was watching Barton a lot because I hadn't seen him in, well, over a year at this point. He was cracking me up, I love his Brill so much. His Brill is definitely drunk basically from FATDI forward, and anytime something dramatic happened he'd just do the surprised Pikachu face.

During JFT, Brill is so easily swayed by Paul, but he does seem to agree with Cherry first. Like, he's listening to her at the beginning, nodding along with her, etc. And then it's not till Paul starts talking that he changes his mind. Which was heartbreaking.

RITFR was wild, Josh and Dan were very much brothers who are getting on each other's nerves. What really got me, was when Josh fully cut off Dan to say the "you act like I've set the dang house on fire" line. I love when that happens, though I'd never seen it before, because it makes the argument flow so naturally. And that interruption from Ponyboy just made Darry even more mad.

Sutton's face pre-Great Expectations while Ponyboy is describing the dream about their parents is so sad 😭 He always starts out so smiley, until he realizes what's being described and his face just falls.

Logan was chewing on the straw of the Coke cup during the bench scene, which I loved. It felt very Marcia to me.

Caleb and SeQuoiia really are one of my favorite Johnny and Dally duos at this point, simply because they feel the most like true friends, which sells Dally's death a lot more because you can feel how close they were before Johnny died.

Dan's voice broke extra at the end during the "we lost mom, and we lost dad" portion.

What is your favorite ice cream flavour?

Also hope you are having a good day.

Hope you are as well!!

I just went to a local place today that has one that's like... chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cups and a peanut butter swirl.... so good.

Happy one year of the Marcia Novel. A year ago today (August 7th), I got to finally give SarahGrace the Marcia Novel, which ended up becoming a core memory for me.

would anyone want to join a 21+ Lost Boys server? I've been trying to find one but haven't had any luck, but I'd love to have a space to hang out with y'all and yap about the movie/musical/etc

[cherrysmarcia]

Josh Strobl gave the performance of a lifetime last night (I say this every time, but it's always true)

Dude... allow me to add to your trove.

I have a folder of these on my phone... I'm not sure what that says about me!

[teaboot]

This has always bothered me too and it didn't make sense until someone older told me that when they were growing up "scare quotes" were used the way we used *asterisks* or ALL CAPS for emphasis

Linguistic Drift!

Editing for the Paul Novel has begun!

It's been really fun diving into his character. What a loser. I love him.

[jack-kellys]

me, you, & the elephant | darry/paul, exes to… ?

A year after their folks' passing, things have settled into contentment. A little tight on funds prepping for the winter, Darry starts up a handyman business.

Forgetting, of course, that just about anybody can be his client. This town's always smaller than he thinks.

forgot to promo this… # hotparrysummer!

shoutout to my amazing beta for the Paul Novel, your comments the last few days have been SO helpful in keeping his character consistent

[foodxfighters]
