I love getting comments on my fics. (I’m terrible at commenting on other people’s fics. I want to comment, but most of the time my brain is stuck on “werdz r gud, pls write more, kthxbai, luv n kisses sal.” I’m so sorry. I know how much writers value the comments they receive and I absolutely want to be more supportive.) But I especially love getting comments that make me think “hmm, I wasn’t planning on going in that direction … but now maybe I will …”
Like, I totally have a plan for my current Dragon Age fanfic. (It’s not written down or anything, but there’s a direction I’m headed in and I’ve got the rules made up in my head for what’s happening behind the scenes.) Except now I’m thinking, oh, I could do that, too. What if it’s not just one thing (okay, technically two things, but they’re connected) messing with poor Cullen, but one thing (okay two things) and a mental breakdown at the same time? Wouldn’t that be fun? (For me. To write about. Because I’m a horrible person who tortures the characters in her stories.)
So basically, I’m trying to raise about $100 so I can buy enough Advantage to treat all 8 adults since I do not want the kittens to get fleas as I’m well aware that can kill them. We can eventually afford it, but with catching up on bills due to the roommate-related debts and having to fix the truck, money is tight. So we’d be trying to treat one or two in some kind of round robin that would probably just result in the fleas getting worse. I’d rather just treat them all right now if at all possible (and hopefully get the not very welcome guest and his dog out shortly as well).
However, since it’s a not an emergency in terms of needing to keep power, food, or a roof, I’m not asking for donations so much as offering my writing skills.
If you donate, basically you get 100 words per dollar (So at least 300 words since kofis are $3). I’ll write whatever you like. I can do smut, I can do something cute, I can do angst, I can write a character description, etc. etc. Just write me a little note in the kofi with your info, or contact me through tumblr chat. Whatever works for you! Just let me know. I will work as fast as I can and hopefully get your commission to you within a few days.
If you want to just toss me a ko-fi, I appreciate it greatly and thank you so much, but I don’t expect it. If you do want to do that though, just leave a little note letting me know. I’d still love to at least post a thank you to anyone that does so.
Bonus (pictures of some of the kitties in question):
Tessa (with the curly ears) and her buddy, Goose.
Goose again (our oldest boy) taking a nap with his buddy, Hasimir (with the stumpy tail and curly ears)
Mister Toes (one of the 3 almost grown kittens that got dropped on us)
KitKit (the former outside kitty) and her 5 currently week-old babies
Baby Ren (my bottle baby boy who is just now 3 week old)
Any reblogs are much appreciated if you don’t mind. Thank you!
Quick Note: Please do not think they will NOT get treated if I don’t get enough commissions. They will. Worse comes to worse, I will triage and nursing mother will get the first dose, followed by Hasimir, who has sensitivities to fleas that can get really bad, etc.
My cats are my babies and my responsibility. They will get the fleas treated and not ignored, I promise. I’m just hoping to raise money to take care of the problem as soon and effectively as possible before the really wet, hot summer starts up and the fleas start breeding like crazy.
Again, I promise I will not ignore the fleas for lack of commissions. I’m just trying to raise money to deal with it as fast as I can.
Okay, so I’m not currently playing SWTOR right now, I’m playing Dragon Age: Inquisition (as if you can’t tell by my obsessive blogging and writing content 😛 ). I stopped playing because the whole “Theron is the traitor!” thing upset me (unreasonably and unhealthily so – thanks, anxiety and obsessive thoughts!), and now my sub’s run out and I’m still enjoying DA:I so … yeah, still not playing.
Is it weird that I kinda just want someone to tell me everything that happens, and whether or not I, a Theronmancer, can stop being unduly anxious about the whole bloody storyline? Please?
Like, if it’s awful – he’s really a traitor, he really betrayed you, you have to kill him, etc. – I don’t want to know. But if it’s okay and everything’s happy again … that would really ease my mind. My stupid, obsessive, anxiety-riddled, can’t-stay-in-this-reality-like-a-proper-adult mind.
Ugh. Now here’s a picture of my cats being cute, as repayment for this whinging.
Huge shout-out to @quatraquartz for helping me out here! 🙂 ❤
And also the numerous anons who messaged me, and to the people who’ve been posting their own Nathema/5.9 bits.
You all rock, and my anxious heart is feeling so much better.
