Changeling Fey
Dapper Prophet
Welcome to this makeshift little writing shop.
Basically, I'm questing for a few items and thought this might be a good way to make a little gold, since I spend most of my time writing anyway. So, without further ado...
ME:
I'm a student with too much time on her hands over the summer and seven years of writing experience. I've had two short stories published and three others have placed in state-wide competitions. I wrote my first (very bad) novel when I was twelve and am in the process of rewriting another that has been in and out of revisions for four years.
SAMPLES:
SETTING
The front room wasn’t large, but lavishly decorated with swathes of cream and sea foam silk. Chaises were scattered around, heavy with embroidered throw pillows. An antique grand piano sat in the corner, the bench behind it covered in ancient yellowed sheet music, original drafts of Bach and Mozart. The walls and floor were chipped from crystal, some parts opaque and others clear enough to see the river rumbling past. Far away above were pinpricks of light ghosting down from the city.
CHARACTER
He stood uncomfortably by the door, a book clutched in his thin hands. He really was slight, she noticed, especially without his huge sopping wet coat. He was an inch or so taller than her and probably weighed half what she did. His NYU hoodie was two sizes too big, hanging almost to his knees, a thrift store buy if she ever saw one.
DIALOGUE
"Is it physically possible for you to go more than five minutes without offending a member of the Spanish royal family?"
"Like I said before, the queen was giving me the look."
"What look?"
"You know. The 'come hither and kiss me you fool, you're making me hot beneath the petticoats' look."
"That's not a thing."
"You had to be there."
"Like I said before, the queen was giving me the look."
"What look?"
"You know. The 'come hither and kiss me you fool, you're making me hot beneath the petticoats' look."
"That's not a thing."
"You had to be there."
WHAT I'LL DO:
-Any genre of fiction (though I'm best at sci-fi/fantasy)
-Fan-fic (If I don't know the topic at all, you might have to pay extra for my research, but you can always ask, I know a fair bit of stuff.)
-LGBT stuff
-Somewhat adult-type-situations (I get pricey if you want me to write full-on sex. Not saying I won't do it, but I really have to be coerced.)
-Editing
-Proofreading

WHAT I WON'T DO:
-Poetry (Well, you'll have to pay me a lot, and you probably don't want to. It's really not good.)
-Essays (I'll edit/proof them for you, but I'm not going to do your homework.)
-Non-Fiction (Same with poetry. Trust me, you don't want me to write it for you.)
-Essays (I'll edit/proof them for you, but I'm not going to do your homework.)
-Non-Fiction (Same with poetry. Trust me, you don't want me to write it for you.)
PRICING:
Here's where it gets tricky. I'm not entirely sure what pricing is fair, so everything here is totally negotiable. If you want to pay what I ask, awesome. If not, PM or quote me. We can talk about it.
Drabbles (up to 100 words): 1,000g
Flash Fiction (100ish-1,000ish words): 7,500g
Short Story (1,000ish-7,500ish words): 10g per word
Novella (7,500ish-15,000ish words): 15g per word
Editing (this is in-depth, character-plot-consistency editing, with notes within the text and an extra written page of overall suggestions): 1,000g per page
Proofreading (a more casual edit, looking more for grammar and spelling and understanding): 500g per page

Generally I'm not going to write something more than 15,000 words, but with most things I say I won't write, I'll do it for enough gold. You're welcome to talk to me about longer works if you're interested. We'd probably have to work out a section/chapter pay schedule, but I'm willing to hash something out.
ORDERING:
There is no set form, just tell me what you want. Length, characters, general plot (if you have one), genre, etc. If you think I might need to know it, I probably do. Either quote me on the forum here or PM if you'd rather that.
Thanks so much for looking!
