Drabble Commissions

fanfictionHey all! Alright, you all know I’m strapped for cash at this point. My job really cut my hours and my job hunt is going…uh…interestingly. As such, I’m getting a bit paranoid about money.

So! Drabble commissions!

I write drabbles sporadically for buddies or as gifts. I’m pretty comfortable in the Tales games (Xillia, Xillia 2, Vesperia, and Graces especially). I am also familiar with Gundam 00, Sengoku Basara, Dynasty Warriors, Fate series, Revolutionary Girl Utena, etc. However, if someone explains characters well enough to me, I could probably write on them without much issue.

Pricing!
-200-500ish = $5.  This would be a short one shot, getting straight to the point. I’d say 2 characters maximum for this, otherwise it’ll feel too rushed. Examples:1, 2, 3
-approximately 1000 – $10. This would still be a one short, but one that is more detailed. Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4
-policies on longer pieces to come if there is interest. Rate is looking like 1000 words for $10, every additional 1000 words is $5. Examples: 1

All pricing is subject to complexity of what a person wants and how many characters are involved in a scene.

Rules!
-I love writing in AUs, if you explain them and give details I’m happy to work in them!
-I am not particularly comfortable writing smut commissions (it’s what I struggle with the most in my writing). I’d rather fade to black. I am not comfortable writing an adult in romantic situations with a minor.
-I am FINE writing ROMANCE though!
-I love working with OCs. As I said above, so long as I’m given enough information about a character, I’m happy to write about them for you. I will do OC/canon, OC/OC.
-if you pay for a $5 commission and I write WAY beyond that, that’s me really getting into it. You don’t have to pay more.
-I am comfortable writing almost anything, but please don’t commission me to write suicide, self harm, or eye gore.
-I only take PayPal. I prefer payment upon completion. How it will work is you commission me, I work on the drabble. When I finish said drabble, I will email you that I have completed it, you will send funds, and then I will post/email you the drabble.

Hey all!  Something a bit different today.  This has absolutely nothing to do with writing – except for me being low on money and needing to make some so I can afford my next cover art.

Crochet Commissions

Alright.  So…people know I’m an author.  This is the “help Laura get money so she can afford her coverart and medical expenses” post.

I also do crochet.  Of the items I make (hats, scares, plushies…)…armwarmers are the easiest.  And I think they’re some of the most practical!  Fall and winter are coming up and armwarmers are awesomely warm.

So because I’m low on money (a bad back made worse by a relatively severe injury at the end of June)…I’ve decided to re-open my crochet commissions.  LIMITED to armwarmers.

These are REALLY simple…but they’re really warm and durable  And completely machine washable! (depending on color combos).

Prices
Plain/Variegated: $20, including shipping
Pawprint: $25, including shipping
Striped: $30, including shipping

I should note that included shipping is for US only.  Shipping outside the US will cost a bit more.

I use acrylic yarn, so I’m pretty sure that’s hypoallergenic.  Though we do have a dog (as you can tell from the pawprint picture)

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED:
comment on this post, or shoot me an email at laura.lemke(at)gmail.com.  Or if you know me on tumblr, send me a message there.
Thanks everyone!

~Laura
