I have gone back and forth on this for ages but I would benefit from some extra income, so I've decided to start doing commissions. unfortunately, I have a lot going on atm (two jobs plus political organising) so I am going to try to keep them less than 1000 words, maybe 2500 as an absolute max.
pricing range and other info under the cut
I'm setting the price for now at £1 per 100 words, so 500 words is £5, 1700 words is £17 etc and breaking them up into three categories:
drabbles, up to 500 words (typically a very small scene or interaction between characters)
flashfic, up to 1000 words
full fic, up to 2500 words
It would be a great help if you specified what type of fic you wanted at first so I can charge you fairly.
The fandoms I most often write for are:
heathers the musical (this includes my not beyond repair universe)
next to normal (natalie-centric)
epic the musical (athena-centric/odypen/telemachus-centric/ithaca royal family centric)
mean girls the musical (cadnis/damian+janis/janis-centric)
six of crows (kanej/wesper/helnik/any crow dynamic)
heartstopper/osemanverse
but if you know we share a fandom and you'd like to request it, feel free to ask me for it. I just wouldn't write for a show I've never watched or book I've never read.
I take payments through ko-fi, and take requests through dm or asks. I might want to have a bit more of a conversation about your prompt so you get your absolute money's worth. I also won't charge over £25 even if I go over a bit on the word count because times are hard. I do price in GBP but I will work out the conversion rate for whatever our currency is and try to come to an arrangement that works for both of us because conversion rates are a nightmare.
I will say that I will not be posting these commissions on AO3 due to their terms of service.
people criticising olivia for being "male-centered" in maggots for brains but I daresay that is the point. walk with me. the song is about how she feels empty and depressed when her boyfriend isn't around and she placed it on the "for a girl so in love" half of the album, but the whoel-album narrative really is about how this relationship she thought was perfect actually had flags form the getgo and this is one of them. she thought that this was normal, that feeling like a shell of yourself because your partner wasn't around is normal because you're in love! that's your other half!
of course I can't know exactly what goes on in olivia's head, but that song fits perfectly on an album called "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love" precisely because it's a bunch of red flags dressed up with a catchy beat.
[Cliff Marleau voice] Yeah I mean none of us were really surprised that Rozy is bisexual. He takes off his shirt the girl way. Kind of hot, to be honest. Wait this is off the record right.
i think the hudson williams situation is ~nuanced however I will say how weird it is that people have now jumped right to "so there, hudson has never faced racism, not from the fandom, not from the media, not from the hr team, because this proves he deserved it"
