Support appreciated, possibility to get writings for it!
First, the why am I doing this, because I do want to give an idea of said why!
We’ve been walking a thin line since December, for my mom and I, she pays all the bills, and I’m the one who handle the food, as part of the “every month” things. We’ve lived too long without being able to do anything outside of “bills and food”, so as I tend to have spare after food, I make sure we have some things that are to make us happy. Obviously, the tighter it gets, the less I do this, but it almost destroyed mom’s mental state, all these years of sacrificing her happiness just to focus on bills, so there’s always a little something I make sure to slip in the month. Ultimately, my mom mental state is more important to me, than going in the red at times.
That’s why I, too, rarely ask for help, because there’s my own choices playing a part, and I consider I should only ask if its downright too hard, or to offer something back if its to make it easier for us.
Things were relatively going well, but December was, well, December, and I thankfully had people who did choose to help me in January. It allowed me to get my own laptop, as well as smooth out the off-balance we went, however, we also had a bill pop up again in January, its paid by an help for the smaller income homes, but its only starting in March at best, otherwise in April.
So our situation isn’t downright super hard yet, but its been toeing the line before December, and harder to juggle in December and since then. It was strongly helped by the help received, and the rest of this month is going to be a very tight line, as in theory, I’m not able to pay anything and the same for mom. Like I said, I’ll still do something if we need it, be it vital or for mental health.
And so, this is more so about asking for help to make it easier, and in turn, offering something in return for those that want to take up that offer!
Of course, if you actually want to help without asking for something, I’ve got a paypalme and of course Ko-Fi (and if you want to go another route, Patreon for more regular support, in which I would offer to check what I’m writing so you also decide not just for me, but for support of what I do).
Otherwise, I’m offering writings! It goes like this:
1 to 5 Kofi: one drabble per Kofi
6 to 10: one drabble per two Kofi, plus one is its odd number
10: you can choose between the above, or below
10 to 20: choice between ten drabbles or one ~1000 words writing
20: you can choose between the above, or below
20 to 30: choice between one ~1000 words writing plus (one to nine) drabbles depending on the count or one ~2000 words writing
30: choice between the above, or below
30 to 40: choice between one ~2000 words plus one to nine drabbles or one ~3000 words writing
(Note: you can also give and only ask for one thing, you’re free to choose within the range your support cover!)
For drabbles, they’ll be between 100 and 500 words, although I don’t do an exact count (I will offer 100 at minimum, but if it is 520, its 520), that’s also why I marked “around 1000/2000/etc”! I’ll look to have the number as minimum, and then stay in the first 100 or so words after it. I don’t do more, so be fair to the “higher” tier of offers!
Be it drabble or writings, each one is to be written based on the characters, pairings if you want, and prompt.
The prompt can be simple (ex: X au, a few words about an idea, etc), and is preferred simple until 20 kofis, or have a few more details (the above, but you can give some more details), prefered after 20. You can also use this site to be inspired, or just randomly generate some things! I am flexible on the prompt part, this is just to give an idea!
Note: I do accept all types of prompts, I’ll tell you if something really feel I can’t, but I’m flexible in term of the exact nature, too!
Ideally, MDZS or DGM works best for me, as I’m more familiar with it, as well as any other fandom I’ve written for. However, I can research other fandom to have an idea of characters/pairings, though of course it won’t be as “precise” as someone familiar with them. And if you want OCs (be it in canon, or full blown original writing), of course you can give me a few things to get an idea of them!
Again, this is to be safe, but obviously, if I get many to write (be it from few people or multiple people), I’ll need the time to write them all. To be fair, I do prefer quality over quantity, so I do wish to take my time to write, I cannot give a proper estimate, as how much I can do varies. Obviously, though, I would look for “sooner the better”. Still, if you decide to ask for one of those offer, please know I’ll do them all, but I’ll have to make sure I don’t burn out, so I’ll carefully balance between working on them and not overworking! Which mean, there is a chance I won’t do everything in the next two weeks, but I will write everything I get, I promise!
For the same reason as above, I will put a limit to the offers: March 1st, I’ll stop accepting requests. If before that date, I got more than 40 Ko-fi in total, I’ll start considering if I stop accepting early, as at this point, it would have helped a lot and I wouldn’t have a need (and I might feel its better for my own sake), and the only thing that might make me continue is either if its close to the date limit, or if people seemed to have liked being able to ask for this and I can still see myself write for it.
I’ll do a last call before closing the requests, unless I do have already a lot and just can’t take more, and will of course say when the requests are closed.
To contact me about requests: IM on Tumblr so I can give you my mail, or you can get it from my site, the link is here so you don’t have to scroll back up (I’m not putting it directly, last time I did this, a bot mailed me XD)
When you contact me for the request, I just ask that you give me a screenshot of the little receipt of when you sent support, or forward the mail you receive and then tell mail me (I would see you have the same mail), just so I am sure of whom sent what. Feel free too, to contact me first, let me know you will send X amount/kofis, and confirm to me when you did!
I will tell you how much I have to write before you, so you already get a first idea, and will keep you updated every ten or so drabbles/writings I do (so for example, if I have 30, I’ll tell you “I have 30 drabbles/wrttings to do before yours” and when the count went to 20, I’ll contact you again to tell you it went down to twenty). I’ll do this over Tumblr IM, so make sure to let me know yours if you mailed me only, unless you do prefer I do it by mail!
Again, if you happen to be first, or first since I finished the latest ones, there is of course more chances that I’ll be quick, but I’ll want to give quality, not rushed!
Finally, I will give you a file for your drabble(s)/writing(s), and let you choose if I also post them on my AO3 and my blog (or just AO3 if it contains ns//fw), or if its just for you to have.
I think that’s everything, feel free to ask me if I did miss something I should mention, and otherwise, I’ll really appreciate if you can reblog, at least ♥
