All right, ya girl’s finally set herself up a Kofi account, so we are officially opening up short story commissions once again!  And this time, we’re going to do things a little differently…

My Rates: $5 per page.  I’ll accept full payment after the story is completed, and I can send it to you for critique and proofreading before it gets posted.

What I Will Write:

Fanworks for public domain works—characters like Dracula, Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes, and anyone else no longer protected under copyright law are fair game!

Retellings and reimaginings of fairy tales, folklore, Shakespeare, or classic literature

Sensitive content (PG-13)

Any consenting unrelated adult pairing

Violent/graphic content

Adult language

What I Will Not Write:

Fanworks for property still protected under copyright laws—I’d be more than happy to write them for free, and you’re still welcome to make unattached donations, but I don’t want to get sued!

Incest/pedophilia/rape

Domestic abuse shown in a romanticized light (no Fifty Shades of Grey nonsense)

Torture of either people or animals

R-rated sexual content

Any kind of bigotry or promotion of it

If any of this looks interesting to you, come and hit me up over DMs!  And if there’s anything else I can offer people that would be worth your time, please let me know!

Even if you can’t commission or donate, please reblog this if you can to boost the signal--any help or promotion I can get, I would appreciate!

"The liberal is so preoccupied with stopping confrontation that he usually finds himself defending and calling for law and order, the law and order of the oppressor. Confrontation would disrupt the smooth functioning of the society and so the politics of the liberal leads him into a position where he finds himself politically aligned with the oppressor rather than with the oppressed. The reason the liberal seeks to stop confrontation [...] is that his role, regardless of what he says, is really to maintain the status quo, rather than to change it. He enjoys economic stability from the status quo and if he fights for change he is risking his economic stability. What the liberal is really saying is that he hopes to bring about justice and economic stability for everyone through reform, that somehow the society will be able to keep expanding without redistributing the wealth."

What I love about Earl is that he puts so much into every character he plays, he sounds completely different in every role. It is only when you start looking for those tiny, distinct qualities in his singing that you realize the man behind the voice is the same beautiful man that makes ginger jokes, purrs and shares a tiger onesie with his co-star.

I'm noticing that a lot of these posts complaining about "therapyslop" tend to be the same people who say that writing a genuinely affectionate and largely peaceful sibling relationship isn't realistic. Either you and your sibling are constantly insulting and picking on each other, or "are you really siblings?"

And like... I love my sister. She's one of the most important people in the world to me, and we largely get along really well. Do we always see eye to eye? No. Have we argued and fought over stupid shit in the past? More times than I'd care to admit. But we're also both grown fucking adults who are more than capable of talking about what happened and trying to prevent the same problem in the future. It just seems to me like so much of the rhetoric I see boils down to, "People in fiction shouldn't ever have mature, multifaceted relationships or the ability to resolve conflicts. They should just be stuck in a loop of misery and silence ad infinitum." Which... yeah, fine, if that's the kind of story you're trying to write, but if all fiction was like that, I'd personally find it tedious as all fuck.

Hello,

I am Jaafar from Gaza. I am currently in northern Gaza, and we have not yet been displaced to the south. Things are very difficult here — the cost of moving to the south is $1,000, and a single tent also costs $1,000, if we can even find a place in southern Gaza. The south is overcrowded, and renting a plot of land costs $1,000 per month, or even more depending on the area. 🙂😢

I started a donation campaign in the middle of the war and received good support, but due to personal circumstances, I recently created a new link, and unfortunately, I have only received a small amount of donations so far. 😓💔 I appeal to you to help me with my new campaign and donate whatever you can 🥺😭. Every amount you give will save the lives of my family and me and may help us cover the cost of moving to southern Gaza! 😓 Thank you, and I pray that God blesses you and provides for you 🧡🫂

Here is the donation link ⬇️**

Tkay Maidza Won One, 2023

[hyshwh7766]

My name is Hisham, a 26-year-old young man from Gaza. Like any young person, I dreamed of a simple job to achieve my goals and build my future step by step, but the war turned all our dreams into rubble. We were displaced many times, carrying our homes on our shoulders, leaving our memories under the debris.

My family now lives in a tent with no stable shelter, my sister Jana has no school, and I have no steady job. My brother Kamal carries the burden of the entire family, working every day to secure just enough food, while I search for any work, no matter how difficult or dangerous, just to survive.

My mother, the beautiful dream we once cherished, wished for a calm and happy life for us, but the war tore us apart and shattered our hopes. As for Jana, my innocent sister, she lost her school, her books, and even her sense of hope, yet she still writes her dreams on small pieces of paper, hiding them in her torn clothes so they won’t get lost like everything else.

We are not asking for the impossible, only what keeps us alive with dignity and gives us a chance to rebuild our lives. Every donation, no matter how small, means so much to us. Your support will give us hope to keep going and try again. 🙏❤️

Help Hisham
