[font=cambria][size=5]Hello![/size] My name is Almedha. I’ve been writing for a long time, both for fun and for work. I once had a lore shop here, maybe two+ years ago, but I think I wasn't charging enough. I had too much to write, and not much to show for it. I also didn't think it was fair to charge here what I've charged in the real world, either--I don't think anybody would pay 8.5k gems on the lowest end for a bio [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/16107704]like this[/url]. I didn't know what to charge, but I didn't want to charge too much, and I didn't want to charge too little.
I used to charge differently for my writing. You can see the mess of numbers early on in this thread. That's just me trying to approach a number I thought was fair, but also that people would actually buy. Long story short, I got overwhelmed with the number of orders and, to be honest, I felt like I was severely under-pricing myself. And that's pretty discouraging.
So here we are again. This is easier.

I've made some rough dafts about her personality (which i'd like you to develop a bit in the 'history' part) and the story of how she met her mate, Gale, and founded the clan.
[b]Also:[/b] You can adjust the lenght of the story as you see fit, i left some parts loose (since i couldn't come up with them myself) and you can use artistic freedom to fill them in. any important bits should be in my drafts, but of course if you have any questions feel free to ask and discuss! hope i didnt miss anything in the form^^

Hello! Thank you for bringing that pretty girl here.
Alright, since you gave me a range on the story, I'll tell you the price for the high and low range. Payment in eggs is fine.
1,400 words:
40kt + (14)10kt + (2)10kt = 200,000 t
3,400 words:
40kt + (34)10kt + (6)10kt = 440,000 t
Either will include the story, history, and two relationships.
I really like the set up you have for her story, and Gale looks like a sweetheart. If you do want me to adjust the word count as I write, I can do that and keep you updated. You can also decide more solidly what word count you want, knowing the range of prices.
Also, is there a bio layout you want me to put the writing in?

[b]I’d like a:[/b] History
[b]Word Count:[/b] 400
[b]Payment:[/b] Treasure
[b]What:[/b] Lacuna (meaning an unfilled space or interval; a gap.) is a recent addition to my clan and signed herself up for a role as a Gladiator. In the clan of Petrified Winds, Gladiators are elite warriors who, once ever year, are eligible to compete in a roman-gladiator-esque trial for the honor of becoming Morana's (the clan leader) successor.
Personality wise, I imagine Lacuna comes across as friendly, but distant, never allowing others to become more then comrades-in-arms and prefers to observe then engage. She's actually not all that interested in becoming the next successor, but perhaps quietly culls participants she deems as unworthy/dangerous (if they were to become the next leader)--In fact, maybe she could easily win the trials due to her strength, but simply chooses to hold herself back.
I haven't really thought of her character past this, and she could really use a backstory (which I leave up to creative freedom)!

[b]Also:[/b] I haven't yet thought of a Charge for her...so if you have an idea for a possible Charge, that would be a wonderful addition!
I hope that's enough details to inspire you! You're writing is absolutely lovely, and I'm happy to give you lots of creative freedom with this character. : )

Ah, she's beautiful, and I really like her character concept! And thank you so much; I'm really glad you like my writing. I am very much looking forward to writing for this girl.
The cost for 400 words will be
20kt + (4)10kt = 60,000 t
I'll ping you back here when it's finished!
