Hello! I'm Kit (deplore on AO3) and I'm taking writing commissions on an experimental basis. Please note that I'm still figuring out some details, so the information here may change in the future.
I will guarantee that whatever I write will meet the minimum word count.
I increase the a rate of $1/100w for anything in excess of the base price (for example, $5 base + $2 = $7 if the finished product is around 700w). I have a tendency to overshoot on word count, so I will cap the price I charge at twice the base. For example, if you request a 1,000w base fic and I write 2,500 words instead, I will invoice you $20.
When I've finished the piece, I'll send an invoice along with the final word count. Then, I'll send you the final written piece.
Just for fun: for $2 additional, I'll also handwrite the fic (pen, in a small Moleskin lined notebook) and mail it to you. US only.
Payment will be through PayPal invoice (tips enabled). I also have a Ko-Fi if you would like to tip through that instead.
Also, I'll write for any canons I am familiar with: if you're here from AO3, you probably know me for Shin Megami Tensei, Persona 5, Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS, Fire Emblem, My Hero Academia, or Kuroko no Basuke. In addition, you can reference my (somewhat outdated) listography! Please feel free to ask if I'm canon familiar with something, as the linked list is not comprehensive.
Writing rare pairs fills me with strength, so please don't hesitate to lob something niche my way!
If you are interested in any of these, please let me know in your request. I will charge extra to write most of these, depending on how difficult it would be to do so.
I aim to be as forthright as possible when it comes to setting expectations and will let you know if I feel incapable of fulfilling a commission request. Please note that right now, I'm only open to writing on the shorter end of things, so I'll be turning down any prompts that would be more suited for a longer, more expansive fic. I might open up commissions for longer fics in the future as I get more experience with commissions, and I can definitely contact you at a later time to set something up if you'd be interested in that.
Please give at least 3 weeks for me to finish something and contact me if I haven't gotten in touch by then. I will follow-up with a status update if a commission is incomplete by then, and ask if you're still interested in the commission.
I'll do small revisions after turning in the final product to you if they are requested, but I won't be rewriting any substantial portions. Therefore, it would be helpful for me if you're thorough as possible in detailing your wants and do not wants when you make your request.
I will ask on a case by case basis whether you would be comfortable with me publishing commissioned fics to my AO3 account. If I do so, then I'll set it up so that it becomes a gifted fic (to you). Please do not publish fic commissioned from me to your personal AO3 account or claim authorship.
To get an expectation of what kind of writing to expect from my commissions, I suggest referencing the following:
Commission Samples:
Non-Commission Samples:
DM me on Twitter (@lustercandies) or e-mail me (diophantines@gmail.com). My preference is to be contacted via e-mail. Please follow-up if you don't hear from me within 48 hours, I have my notifs muted at night/when busy sometimes.
As I'm pretty busy right now, I will only take on one commission at a time.
