the more you pay per word, the more thoroughly i will think out and edit
your piece. nsfw content will cost more, so suggest prices at your

and tomb raider. i might have missed a few, so don't hesitate to ask

carpe primam lucem

name: sunny / hanna
commission type: original characters - short story
preferred word count: n/a. any length works tbh. but the longer the better!
POV + tense: third person present?
genre: romance/friendship.. i guess!
proposed price: 1.5b minimum? will change according to length
pitch: original story of my two OCs : here. plot-wise, i'd rather have you use your creative liberties ( since i suck at making plots), but we can discuss about it!
other: i'm in the middle of reading your samples at "work" lol u v u heart takes me away from boredom

[embrace the grind]

sunnygirl

heyo sunny~! thanks for droppin' by. lolol i hope my samples help to alleviate your boredom! i need to produce more original content, almost all of my stuff is fanfic u.u

ahhh toshio and chika are so cute! i'd like to discuss the bare bones of a plot with you, if that's all right. is there anything specific you'd like to see in your story? even general themes would help: betrayal, loss, longing, etc. or some kind of scene/conflict/setting (outside of a broad city) you've been rolling around in your head.

( totally on a tangent, but there's actually a manga called the flower and the star and your characters made me think of it yum_tuna )

haha it definitely did! ( at least i have a project to do now. i guess the higher up saw me reading and decided to give me a pile of work haha )

ah well as for theme.. friendship ( is it a theme lol or is it topic.. ) can do. longing can also be one, as chika longs for a friend while toshio longs for uh chika? ( uhh im sorry its very vague isnt it. calling it vague is kind of pushing it too )

i'd really like to see a scene of a sort-of heart to heart talk ( maybe talking about familial backgrounds ( its kind of a big step for chika to talk about those since she's been avoiding the topic for so long? ) ( and kind of reveals the lonely side of toshio since he's alone most of the time ) )

and ooh i'll have to add it to my reading list u v u heart
will check out the link in a bit heart

okay, i can work with that scene! i think i'll make that heart-to-heart talk the heart (huhu, puns) of the short story. as for plot ... would it be all right if toshio drags chika to watch a meteor shower (i'll probably be setting this in the winter months)? i can see him getting all excited about it - and conflict could arise from them trying to get away from the city's light pollution (chika's like, toshio we can just go to a planetarium, you know and toshio's like NO IT'S NOT THE SAME emotion_donotwant ).

y/n? o: it's totally up to you.

ahah, that manga is total femslash though, not sure if that's your cup of tea! but it's a great manga nevertheless.
