Perhaps you’d care to fill me in?” she asked, and tilted her head a little with the request. “I will, of course, require honesty in order to work to the best of my abilities … but I trust you’ll be satisfied with the results. Let us begin, shall we?” ----- [center][size=5]Rules[/size][/center] 1. Politeness is key, both to the artist and other commissioners. 2.

[center][size=5]Products[/size] [b]Perspectives Offered:[/b] - 3rd - 1st - 2nd [b]Types of Writing Offered:[/b] - Bios. — “Rumor Has It.” — Linked bios. - Journal entries (1st person default). - Clan lore. - Familiar Tales. - Flash Fiction (~200 words). - Short Stories (~800 words). [i]*MOGAI/LBGT+ friendly writer.*[/i] [b]Details:[/b] For the options that aren’t immediately self-evident, I thought I would expand on them. [i]”Rumor Has It”[/i] bios are pieces of writing that focus on the hearsay that surrounds your dragon, and while it may be grounded in fact, confirmation of such is dubious at best. [i]Linked[/i] bios are separate for a reason. I will link any aforementioned dragon in a normal bio, but this type of bio is written to be intertwined with another dragon (or several) and would work best as a package purchase unless you can supply me with the other dragons for reference. [i]Familiar Tales[/i] are exactly what it says on the tin - interaction with your dragon’s familiar in story format. This can be anything from how they met to slice of life, bonding moments, or even how they get along (or don’t). [b]Not offered:[/b] - NSFW. - Non-Flight Rising material. ----- [center][size=5]Examples[/size][/center] Both examples on my dragons are preambles for much larger and much more involved lore, but they’ll work well enough for the purpose of this.

He took the young arcanite as his ward, but his gembond could neither be identified as the bite of an onyx cobra nor faulty genetics - for the white gold that grew upon his scales detached, though not without some pain, and began to line Jectoma's coffers. He has grown to accept his fate, and even believe it is his duty to help supply their small clan with what funds he can. His own body trapped him into it, and he is cloistered from the world as Jectoma's literal and metaphorical treasure.[/columns][/quote] Exactly 100 words. 10k bio.

The sorcerer is rumored to be the "spare heir" of another clan as readily as it is said that he is a bringer of Plague itself, but he neither confirms nor denies the tales built around his title and image. Home is simply where his wandering takes him, and as of the late, that has found him under Machiavelli's claw. Javiar has found that his skills can be applied quite delightfully under the guardian's direction, and has grown curious of where it will take them next. He is, after all, a master illusionist.

[b]Perspective:[/b] [b]Pre-existing Lore:[/b] If applicable, include or link. [b]Relevant Information:[/b] Unless I am writing from scratch, the following would work beautifully for accurately portraying your dragons: - Personality notes. - History. - Tics or gestures unique to them. - General speech patterns. - Relationships to other dragons, and the nature of them. - For [b]Familiar Tales[/b], how did they meet? What is their relationship? - Other. Is there anything else I need to know before I start writing? [b]Word Count:[/b] How long would you like this piece to be? Will this be an estimate or is it a hard limitation?

Isn’t that a little pricey?[/i] Not really, since you can earn that in about ten minutes on Fairgrounds. Something to also keep in mind that writing is a skill and takes time, and both should be valued. [i]How long have you been writing?[/i] Roughly a decade. I write novels on the side of work and school, and am working on coauthoring a dark science-fantasy series with a friend in the meantime. [i]How long will my order take?[/i] Depending on my current life situation, anywhere from 1-7 days. It may be done within a few hours after I process your commission, but because of life obligations and my health, I would rather give the extra time as an estimate. * [b]Short Stories[/b] and [b]Familiar Tales[/b] will have a grace period of 14-21 days depending on length, as I'm particular about story structure and like to hammer out plots beforehand, especially if I'm working from scratch. ----- [center][size=5]Pinglist[/size] If you wish to be added, let me know.

And we are open for business. ^^

@Nix4 - I could definitely do this, but I'd like a few more details. Will there be any other dragons included from your lair as secondary characters? (If so, it would help so I can find their bios for reference.) Do you envision him as having a specific speech pattern, such as eloquent, straight to the point, et cetera?

Also, I won't be able to start until Monday because I have a few school project deadlines in the next two days. Is that all right?

EDIT: Filling out the order form in the last post should also give you a basic idea of the information that I need.

@Nix4 - Excellent! Ping me when you're ready, please. ^^

@SeleneHime
May I please snag a spot on the waiting list? :) Also, I have all the info already, do you want me to give it to you now or wait til I snag a real slot?
