Anything you want! All tropes and kinks are
negotiable, although if I find I’m uncomfortable with something you’ve
requested I will discuss the subject with you to see if we can find a(n)
alternative(s) we can both agree upon. For a good idea of my writing strengths,
please check out my shared fiction on AO3 (Archive of Our Own) here.
Commissions start at $50 USD. For $50 you
can commission a 2500-word fic in the fandom and genre of your choice; for each
additional $5 you’ll get a bare minimum of 25 more words (bare minimum as I
will almost certainly go over that limit, at no extra charge to you). I will
always go over the paid amount to some degree although I will try to stay
within the requested word-length range. (I’m not going to write 15,000 words
for a $75 commission, but I am generally wordy and I will make sure you get
what you pay for and then some.)
If you’re interested in a commission for a
fandom or kink I’m not familiar with, I will charge an additional 10% research
fee (this also applies to any OCs you’d like me to write about). For example,
if you pay $50 for a 2500-word story in a fandom I don’t know, it will cost an
extra $5 for the fandom research. I don’t mind doing research (on fandoms,
kinks, what have you) but it does take up time that could be spent on writing,
hence the additional fee.
What won’t I write? I won’t write anything
involving real-life people (celebrities, politicians, historical figures, you
– although if you have an OC you’d like me to use, such as your Inquisitor
from Dragon Age: Inquisition, I’m happy to work with that). I
won’t write smut involving bestiality (furries and shapeshifters are fine) or
pedophilia (I am willing to age-up canon teenage characters, such as those
found in Buffy: The Vampire Slayer or Voltron: Legendary Defender; I am also
willing to do age-play between adult characters). I reserve the right to veto
any kink I’m uncomfortable with. Regardless of whether or not I’m willing to
write something, I will not call you out, be mean or disrespectful, or shame
you for your request. Additionally, if I don’t think my skills or strengths
align with your requests, or I simply cannot wrap my head around your
particular fandom in order to do it justice, I will let you know. (For example,
I’m not a comedic author, so I would likely turn down a commission for
something requiring a significant amount of humour.)
How Can You Place a Commission?
You place a commission with the following
steps:
1. You can email me directly at
crumpetsalacious@gmail.com. I’ll discuss your request with you until we’re both
agreed upon what you’re looking for. This may take some time, but I want to
ensure you get the story YOU want. IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE A COMMISSION FROM
ME, YOU MUST BE 18+.
2. Payment. Commission payments go to
crumpetsalacious@gmail.com through PayPal. (PayPal fees apply.) Please do not
pay until we’ve agreed upon the specifics of your request; an invoice outlining
these specifics can be provided, if desired. I will be completely upfront about
research costs (if necessary) so there will be no surprise charges. Once
payment is received I will add you to my commissions list; works will be
created on a first-come, first-served basis so please allow a few weeks
(depending on how many people are ahead of you). You may always contact me to
request an updated estimate on when your commission will be completed.
3. Finished Commission. All finished
commissions will be posted publicly to my sideblog under salaciouscrumpetwrites.tumblr.com. I will not share your name or
identity without your permission. I will contact you to let you know when your
finished commission is being posted, and will provide you with a direct link to
your story. Public sharing on my blog is negotiable, but I’d like to be able to
post my finished work in order to promote myself (I do understand, however,
that some pieces may be very personal and that in some instances public sharing
may be undesirable). You may feel free to share my completed works provided you
tag me as the author.
If you’re not interested in commissioning my writing but would like to support me in some other way, please feel free to visit my Ko-Fi page.
If you have questions about the commissioning process, please feel free to send me an ask either here or on my main blog.
Thank you for considering me for your
entertainment needs!
Sometimes I really hate this site. I just want to have tabs on my main blog and side blog so that people can find links to my commissions page and FAQs. I figured out how to create these additional pages on my side blog, but now I can’t find those same functions on my main blog, and it apparently doesn’t even matter because when I look at my side blog without being logged in those tabs/pages aren’t even visible, so I have no clue what the point of “pages” even is.
I’ve been working on this for over an hour. Google sends me to outdated links where the advice doesn’t align with what I can see on my desktop (click on “Customize” in the top left corner? there is no “Customize” in the top left corner). I’m not accustomed to being this terrible at internet shit. Is this what my mom feels like when she can’t remember her Facebook password and then assumes her account has been hacked? AM I BECOMING MY MOTHER?!?!?
OH MY GOD I JUST WANT THINGS TO LOOK PRETTY, FFS TUMBLR!

Writing is being on the train and mentally seeing your OCs stumble into other people, or flinching away from the germ-ridden handrails, or sleeping on each others’ shoulders.
Writing is hearing a song on the radio and watching one of your scenes play out to the lyrics.
Writing is laying on your floor or sitting by your computer and spending hours collaging newspaper clippings or pictures or people or plants together and making something that is completely, uniquely, your story.
Writing is drawing your characters in your notebooks, and making tea only your one, picky character would drink, and writing an open letter to all your characters just to remind them you love them.
Writing is moodboards, and playlists, and crafts, and asks, and prompts, and pictures, and memories, and you.
So never think that just because you’re not putting words on a page, you’re not a real writer. Writing is something that follows you everywhere, beyond the word document, and beyond the screen.
Because writing isn’t something you do. It’s something you are.
