Just hashing out some thoughts on a potential of making some gold with my writing skills. Here is where I'll post the general concept and flesh out the necessary details.

RULES
1. Original characters or current Gaian pets only. No cosplays please.
2. I reserve the right to decline a commission, whether it be due to the character itself, or the scene requested.
3. While I will work with you throughout the process to fine tune the story to your preferences, I must insist for obvious reasons that major details remain as they were when you ordered the story. Please be sure you are clear when answering my required questions.
4. Due to the time it takes to write a story, I would require a fee up front, which I would keep even if the story completely disgusted you. However, if you were not at all satisfied with the story, you would not be required to keep it nor pay the full price for it. However, I WILL be keeping the story and marking it as upaid and unsatisfactory to the customer, for my own protection.
5. With any story I write for this, all characters are copyrighted to their creators. The story itself, however, is copyrighted to me. Please, no story stealing. Thanks.
6. In relation to the last rule, I cannot write about or include any characters not your own without the owner of that character's permission. Which should go without saying, really.

THINGS I NEED TO KNOW
1. A picture or multiple pictures of the character(s) is necessary. Failing that, I would need a detailed description.
2. Examples of written content about the character(s) is also necessary. Whether it is a joint rp, a solo work, or something someone else has done for you about this character, I need something to help me get a feel for your character(s)
3. I need to know any details not included in the examples above that are ncessary to know about the character(s). Some suggestions of things I might need to know would be: phobias, habits, quirks, any strong preferences, major recent events around the time the story would be set.
4. What is the scene you would like me to write? What mood do you want set? Is there a specific location it should occur in? You can feel free to let me loose to do whatever, but I do need SOMETHING to begin with. Try to give me either location, mood, person/people to interact with, or a goal to achieve in the story.
5. What length were you wanting for your story? This will admittedly affect the price I will quote you. Shorter stories obviously will have lower prices, and take less time to finish for you. I have no preference as far as length goes, except that I will NOT write anything resembling a novelette or larger. I do reserve the right to moderately alter the length of the story (shorten or lengthen) according to what suits the story itself.
Keep in mind, the more detail you can provide me about what you want, the more it will be to your liking.

THE PROCESS
1. You fill out the form and answer the questions as fully as possible. You then PM it to me.
2. I will look over the order and PM you back the required fee and the full price.
3. You will send a trade of the up-front fee, which we will both confirm.
4. I get to work on your story! After I get a decent amount written, I will PM you a portion of it to be sure I have a proper and satisfactory feel for your character(s). You can answer me a yea or nay.
5. If you are pleased, I will continue writing the story. If you are not pleased, we may have to do some work together in order for it to be written as you would prefer.
6. Once everything is hashed out and the story is written, I will notify you via PM and request you to send the rest of the full payment (minus the fee, of course).
7. Once that trade is begun, I will post the full story on my DA account and PM you the link. After you give me your approval, we will finalize the trade. If you are not pleased and wish to scrap the whole thing, we will null the trade and go our seperate ways.
8. I will continue to host all stories on DA unless I am requested to take it down.

THINGS I NEED TO DO
Continue hashing out the best questions to ask to get the best results. (And an easier job for myself!)
Guage market interst for price ranges.
Type up current stories as examples to put up on DA.
Make an official minshop thread for this venture, if I get a couple satisfied customers.

AUTOMATIC NO LIST
These are subjects for story content that I will not write about under any circumstances. If their history or current events include any of this, but the story does not include them, that is fine. I simply do not wish to write about these subjects.
Explicit sexual content
Rape (whether physical or otherwise)
Homosexual couples
Gorey violence
Detailed torture
I will add more as they occur to me or are inquired about. I will also list the grey areas that I'm dubious about, as well as subjects that have been inquired about that I WILL write about.
