~ Shards of Summer ~
Hello everyone ! Welcome to this drabbles shop of mine, called Shards of Summer !
This little shop offers, for but small prices, drabbles (meaning 100words pieces) to warm your heart or make you cry.

~ About Me
I’m a French undergraduate (last year of highschool’s equivalent), in the literary version of our final exam. I’ve been writing for something like eight years, so don’t let my young age fool you^^. I speak and write in French and English (so if there are any French Gaians wanting pieces, I can do them in that language).
You can read my fanfictions here. Most of them are in French, but you can find some in English (Fighter, Midnight conversations, Pure little Angel…). As you’ll maybe see, some of them are in progress. That means I can’t and won’t put all of my free time in writing your pieces, period.
Here, here –mature themes – and here – for French pieces – for specifically drabble pieces. See also the 'Finished' section for more samples.

~ Why only drabbles?
Because I have a life, and three big projects going on. As a student surviving through her last highschool year, I simply do not have the time to do long commissions. But I do understand that 100 words isn’t a lot, which is why I will mostly do bundles of five or ten drabbles.
Also, though a drabble is only 100 words long, it is designed to be a piece by itself. Even in bundles, I do my best for the drabble to make some sort of impression on the reader like a longer piece would. Be it fluff or angst, the point is to be sharp and to the point: someone once told me a drabble needed to feel like “the gleam of a naked steel blade”. Even if you don’t know what happens next, you are still struck with a certain feeling; and in a drabble, each word must be designed to hit its target.

~ Rules
- Follow the T.O.S. (I prefer to be obvious but clear.)
- Quote me with your order if you want me to see it. If I ignore you, try again after a day or two – I probably didn’t see it.
- Don’t push me. If I don’t want to do your piece, that’s not something you’ll change through harassment. If I’m taking my time, don’t rush me (though after one week you can always PM me your concern).
- Post your form here, and don’t hit and run – I’ll probably want to chat with you, and that will keep the thread alive.
- Give me prompts & plots suggestions if you want me to work faster. The more precise you are, the quicker I’ll be done.
- Send the trade after I’ve accepted your order. When I am finished, I’ll tell you to send the trade and will post the link to your order under the ‘Finished’ section.
- Tips are always welcome. They might influence me, or not. It won’t change the slots order.

~ The Do's and Don't's
I do write:
- OCs and personal universes
- fanfiction (see below for a list of series)
- romance
- angst
- fluff
- drama
- tragedy
- Psychology (I almost always, ALWAYS write some in the drabbles. Can’t do otherwise.)
I don’t write:
- NC-17 stuff. I can’t write it for my own pieces, so I’m not going to do an awful job by trying for characters I might not like.
- Yaoi/Yuri.
- Real persons.
- Your homework. I will see if it is homework, don’t try to fool me.
- World/Character building. It’s your job. Badly written OCs are enough of a reason not to take an order (but what defines badly written is at my discretion. By all means, try me.)
If the relationships you want me to work on are unhealthy, I will not romanticize them. They will be depicted for what they are: things that exist, that can work, but which still are not to be taken lightly. This includes incest (JaimeXCersei anyone…?), power play-driven relationships, to a lesser extent May-December relationships.

~ Prices
I’ve bought and sold quite a few pieces in there, and the medium price is 10g/word. Given the length of my pieces, that stays reasonable. It’s even more logical to be paid by word given the nature of the piece.
Only 1 drabble (if you just want an appetizer): 1k.
First bundle: 5 drabbles (if you’re somewhat hungry): 4,9k.
Second bundle: 10 drabbles: 9,5k.
If your characters please me and I feel like writing more than 10 drabbles, or even a short story, I’ll run the idea by you before doing so, and we can discuss the price. The bundles can only be on one (1) universe/pairing, but you can order several times.
I also may be willing to write for Shaman King fanart or fanfic (show samples if you want me to take you seriously).
The first request will be free, in order for me to get more samples.
