[center]We're now OPEN | WORKING | CLOSED | [b]swamped by like 5 1k word commissions[/b] [columns][img]http://i.imgur.com/8vImsiJ.png[/img] [nextcol]Hello, and welcome to my brand new writing shop! [s]we dont talk about the old one[/s] Like almost every other lore shop on here, my goal is to give you a long series of words in exchange for your money. "So Eth," you might ask, "why should I give you my money/fodder/birbs/monetary units?" Luckily, thanks to FR’s free market, you don’t have to, but it’d be lovely if you did anyway. I have 9 years of writing experience, 3 of those spent in a Creative Writing course, literal hundreds of pages worth of practice, and a ton of examples done right here on FR! Still not convinced? No worries, I’ll let my [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415]examples[/url] speak for themselves. [/columns] [center][b]What I will and won’t write:[/b] [sub]Will do: FR dragons Worldbuilding Character development Descriptions Backstories Clan intros Non-dragon OCs Humans/humanoid characters Mythical creatures Original species descriptions Mild Gore FxF, MxF, MxM, from most confident to least Won’t do: NSFW Extreme Gore/Torture Trans or genderqueer characters (nothing personal, just not confident in portraying them accurately) Canon characters (from an established media like anime or a TV show) Real life shipping (e.g. 1D/Kpop fanfics) Ships with large age gaps (i.e. adult with child/teenager) Outright poetry Anything not stated above is probably under ‘will do’.[/sub] [/center] [size=4][b]Word count[/b][/size] [b]10kt/10g gets you 100 words.[/b] If you don’t specify a word count, you will be charged the final product no matter what the final length is, no exceptions. If word count is specified, I’ll always meet the minimum, and any extra words beyond that are free. Paying by level is only available during a Wind Dom push. [s]Each additional level on a dragon past 1 adds 50 words. So if you had a level 5 dragon, it’d be worth 300 words. Level 7, 400 words. Level 10 and above increases almost exponentially, to make it worth the time it takes to level up the dragon. See the full table [url=http://i.imgur.com/3qqbfty.png]here[/url]![/s] Words can be ‘banked’, or spread out across multiple commissions, so you don’t have to decide on just one dragon to spoil! [size=4][b]Format[/b][/size] Biography style (1st or 3rd): Told from an omniscient (all-knowing) perspective, i.e. you know things the character(s) doesn't. Usually a brief overview of a dragon’s life, rather than individual events, although you can request certain events be described in detail. [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415/19#post_27116127]x[/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=26095583]x[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415/20#post_28482184]x[/url] Narrative (1st or 3rd): Told like a story, may shift between one or more characters’ perspectives. Limited perspective, meaning you see things through a character’s eyes, which allows for an unreliable narrator. Can be overview or detailed, please specify. [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415/18#post_26977639]x[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415/10#post_24097451]x[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415/20#post_27984655]x[/url] Custom (any): A unique style, e.g. letters, lair descriptions, dialogue. PM me and we can discuss this further, I’m open to try pretty much anything but outright poetry. [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415/14#post_24975781]x[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415/15#post_26315165]x[/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=view&tab=userpage&id=83294]x[/url] If this section is blank, I’ll pick the format that I think is easiest to write your piece in. Sometimes I may even use your order as an excuse to experiment with a new format. [size=4][b]Point of View (POV)[/b][/size] 1st person: I, we, us x [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415/6#post_22291070]x[/url] 2nd person: You, yours x 3rd person: He, she, they, theirs [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/1854415/18#post_26925930]x[/url] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=71590&tab=dragon&did=26589556]x[/url] [size=4][b]Tone (optional)[/b][/size] If there’s a certain tone you’d like your piece to have, e.g. light-hearted, humorous, serious, edgy, or angsty, do specify under the Other section. Otherwise, depending on the dragon, I default to light-hearted or edgy. Those are the tones I’m most comfortable with. [size=4][b]Tense[/b][/size] This is pretty minor, since like 80% of my finished examples are in past tense. But if you’d prefer present tense (or future tense???), please specify in the Other section. Past: was, had, went Present: is, has, goes [sub]Future (???): will[/sub] [size=4][b]Form[/b][/size] (use a new form for each individual order): [code] [quote]Hello yes hi @Ethiera, I’d like to order: [b]Username:[/b] [b]Character name(s):[/b] [b]Image Reference/Written description:[/b] (if dragon, use BBCode, if OC, any image/description will do) [b]Word count:[/b] [b]Format:[/b] [b]POV:[/b] [b]Character/Story Info:[/b] [b]Payment:[/b] [b]Other:[/b] [/quote] [/code]

[b]FAQ[/b] [b]Q:[/b] Is this shop affiliated with the main Wind Foddart thread? [b]A:[/b] For personal reasons, I'd rather not post on the main thread, but the end goal is the same: Wind dominance with help from your fodder! [b]Q:[/b] Do I send payment now or later? [b]A:[/b] I take payment once you're satisfied with the finished piece! [b]Q:[/b] What happens if the order seems to be taking too long? [b]A:[/b] I admit this is a problem I'm struggling with. If it's been more than 2 weeks without any communication, feel free to metaphorically kick me with a ping or PM! [b]Q:[/b] Why would you work for the equivalent of 10 cents per 100 words?

final save, and we're open!

@Sumatra

Yes, that payment's correct!

You're in luck, I was actually studying Homer's Iliad and the Poetic Edda the past few days (personal project), so I think I have a good grasp on the poetic style you want. Feel free to send the fodder any time before this battle finishes.

@Ethiera

Hmm...well I'm not sure that I'm looking for something in formal verse exactly. It's just that your biography examples tend to be a summary of events and traits, while I'm leaning toward something a bit more emotive than informative. A bit more like this bio you wrote in contrast to this one. That's what I meant; I'm sorry if the word "poetic" was misleading.

@Sumatra

Ah, yeah, sure I can do that. I'll update you once I have a draft written!

@Ethiera How much in treasure or gems do you charge for medium and long lore? c:
