Back when you were doing commission writing, what was the strangest story you got to write?
Hey Anon, good question. I looked through my backup folder of old works (yes, I keep backups) and I think there were a few that I found strange at the time but now I just think they're whatever.
- A story about a car oc being railed by the commissioner (those types of stories were actually quite common, the car x commissioner type, some even sent me pictures of their cars!)
- A 10 chapter (5k words each) story about someone's Warrior Cat OC, which was literally just wanting me to rewrite a real book to insert their OC (although it was shortened to skip over some points they didn't care about; of course I didn't just rip off the book, I actually rewrote it following plot points which required me to get and read the book haha. I also want to mention that the OC was NOT the main character, it was just there.)
- One story about Commissioner being isekaid but reborn as a shark, where they then got to rail hot mermaids (specifically as a hammerhead shark; not a mermaid type, an actual shark...)
- someone once commissioned me to write fanfics about their original work (twice; one SFW and one NSFW). That was actually quite fun, because they left most of it up to me but a little weird because they wanted to pretend it was organic.
These are probably the most notable ones. The others were mostly fanfics for stuff. The main type of story I wrote was usually feminization of various characters from different media, others were just plain NSFW self-insert works.
Fun fact: Commission writing is how I got into the monsterfucker genre. There were loads of Werewolf x Commissioner OC works that made me go "hmmmmmmmm, nice".
It's not something I think anyone can make a living off of anymore (especially nowadays with AI churning out garbage for free), but it was a good side income I made while I was getting my degree. Especially since I had to spend a lot of time on trains and busses. (poor people behind me watching me write that stuff)
