Hello everyone!

For a long time, I have received many messages in regards to commissions.  For around a year now, they've been completely shut down due a backlog of writing.  Well...  following the current trajectory, I will actually be finished with my current commissions in November.  Additionally, while I do plan to release 2 Patreon stories a month, I will still have potential gaps of time to fill - and do I still need to beef up my income where I can.  I would also like to continue releasing content on DA for the public to enjoy for free.  Therefore - I am now going to enter the preliminary process of commissions for December/January!

Here's the catch though - I'm only going to be accepting 1 to 3 commissions!

Why?  Simply put, these things take a while to make.  I would rather focus on a few stories and finish them in a timely manner instead of allowing 5-6 to queue up and forcing people to wait upwards of years for the stories to be written.

So, how is this going to work?  Simple - if you are interested in commissioning me, send me the following in a note (or email if you prefer):


- Your story idea.  This can be as simple or as detailed as you want.  If you have no good ideas for stories, I can give you some.  If you are interested in a fan fiction or continuation/recreation of a current series, that is fine too.
- Estimated length.  This would be an estimate of how many chapters the story will take, using my current series as measuring sticks.  (For comparison's sake, a typical chapter can be anywhere from 5-10 pages in my word processor)
- Your budget.  This can either be presented in a by chapter budget basis, total budget for the project, or both.  Please note I only accept PayPal for commission payments.


Your message to me must have ALL three of these parameters!

After a week or so of reviewing ideas, I will choose the ones I am most personally interested in writing.  Content of the commission will be the primary thing I use to determine this, but budget and length will play a role.  If I don't accept your offer, please don't take it personally!  I can only do so much, so I'm going to simply write the stories I'm going to be most personally interested in.  I feel this will result in the best content overall, since when I force myself to write things, they feel less natural.


Here are my personal rules for commissions:

- Nothing too extremely dark.  I have a lot of wiggle room here (as I am often morally grey), but I'm not going to write snuff material.
- No explicit pornographic content (these are going on DA)
- I reserve the rights to the story.  This means I can release it on something like smashwords, remaster it in the future for a Patreon release, or anything else like that.


Anyway, I will update this journal specifically if I have any additions to make to it - and it will be used to refer to people who are curious about commissions.


Send me the notes ASAP so I don't choose before you get your idea in!

If you have any questions at all, let me know.

- Magnus
