Femme Faytale: So I'm thinking of trying to do commissions?
You see, a little while ago, I was part of an auction to raise money for AO3. I didn’t raise much, just $10, but it wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be. In fact, it was really fun.
And the thing is, I’ve hit something of a problem. I just recently moved back in with my parents, under financial duress. I lost my job about a month ago, and my search hasn’t been fruitful at all. More importantly, my parents are not in the least bit understanding of my depression and anxiety, among many other things. I haven’t even told them I’m pansexual or that I’m in an open relationship with both a man and a woman. They’re both very bigoted, and they say they aren’t, and talk like my depression and anxiety are something I should be able to deal with, and get better. That I should be able to just march out there and ask for a job, when in reality the mere thought has me on the verge of a panic attack. And these are the people who raised me, people I’m meant to rely on for advice and help. And I’m not getting it from them.
In truth, there’s a lot of people in my immediate proximity that just don’t try to help, so I’d really like to get back out on my own. Or at least away from them.
But that takes money. And seeing as I have no income, I thought I could market my skill with words. I haven’t seen many people do that, however. Just a few that are begging for money and willing to do little things for it. Which, really, is exactly what I’m doing.
I don’t have much of a set price, but I’m thinking of going with $10 per thousand words. That’s of pretty much anything. Porn, fluff, angst, introspection. And I’m familiar with many fandoms, enough to write whatever you toss my way. And if I don’t know it, I’m willing to look into it. Any pairing, any plot, any kink. As vague or explicit as you like.
If having a decent writer make your wish come true with words is something you’re interested in, message me. We can negotiate price however you like, if the rate isn’t meeting your needs.
TL;DR: Because of reasons, I’m doing writing commissions at $10 per thousand words.
