I'm looking for someone to write up a story for a kinda cutesy Breedable/Changing pets shop that I'm working on. The person that I hire will be shown the art and shop to help them get a feel for it. I would expect you to work closely with me and be willing to adjust anything we decide needs adjusting. If you are not familiar with B/C shops, please head over to the B/C forum and browse around before applying.

The Shop Concept
The shop is called "Spark" and is based of of cute little foxes. The idea is that sometime in their childhood to adulthood, these foxes bond with little fairy type creatures called Sparks. They look like glowing orbs with wings and a fox-like tail. Sometime in their adulthood, when they've been with their Spark long enough, the foxes and the Spark merge, creating an Ascended. These new beings keep the fox apperance, but with wings and some small ability passed onto them from their Spark (each ability is a little different. Ex: one Spark might be able to breathe under water; another might speak to birds; a different Spark might be able to see into the future a short ways.)
However, if a fox looses it's Spark, or it is killed/stolen/etc, they become a Despairing. They do not have wings, do not have powers, and live life feeling like half of them is missing. In very rare cases, a fox will find a new Spark to merge with. Most of the time, however, they do not.
Some of these Despairing foxes will steal the Spark of another fox, and when they merge they become Corrupted. The corrupted have reptilian features and a twisted mind. They are innately evil and vicious.
The Sparks themselves have one magical ability that is innate in them, and all have the ability to do minor healing on other Sparks and on their bonded fox. They do not speak very often or very much, and are like a young child in mentality- innocent, curious, playful, simple. They are incredibly loyal to their fox companions.

The Story Concept
I'm not exactly sure where I want the story to go. It could start at the beginning, where the first Spark and fox met and merged. It could start as the creation story, where foxes and Sparks have always been together as a blessing from the Goddess. If you have another idea of what the story could be, please feel free to bring it up!
I need a story that is either finite (such as the creation story or the first fox/Spark pair), or something that can be used as the overall plot of the shop.

The Funds
I don't have unlimited funds, but I'm willing to pay well for a well written story. If I really like the concept, your writing style, and you work in a timely manner, I might even be willing to pay RL cash, but that's not likely. If you are applying, please list your general prices, so we have a good starting point to haggle from.

The Reward
On top of payment, if you are chosen, you will be allowed 2 custom pets from the shop (once we open), and may be commissioned in the future for plots and events at later dates. You will also be given benefits in the shop, such as an extra raffle ticket, sneak peeks in events, and even participation in staff only events. Additional rewards may be negotiable.

Do you have some samples of other writings I could take a look at? Would you do short story or poem?

We can work out a reasonable pricing.

Blackhorn- the Legend

I do indeed : D Samples

Hmmm, maybe both?
Like perhaps a short story, and then for every post a poem/stanza of a longer poem?
And I can throw up some actually rhyming poetry if you'd like :3
