Hello, thanks for dropping by!

I'm offering writing services for your dragons and OCs, as well as some silly little extras like custom playlists. As stated in the title, this is all pwyw until I get a good gauge of what I'd like to set rates at.

Although I have preferred price minimums set, you absolutely do not have to stick by them. If you're a new player or just on a super tight budget, do let me know and we'll see what we can work out :)

All that aside, pretty graphics and formatting will be added some day lol, but alas, we're barebones for the time being.

Important Info:

Basics:

• I reserve the right to decline any commission I am uncomfortable with or feel is unfeasible to produce
• I accept mixed payments of gems and treasure. I may also consider items; feel free to offer.
• I am disabled, so my completion speed may be slow at times. You are absolutely more than welcome to ask for updates whenever you would like, and in the event I'm ever unable to complete a commission, I would refund you fully. It goes without saying, but the longer the piece you are ordering, the longer the wait you should expect.
• Once I hand my writing over to you, it is yours to do with as you please ^^ that includes edits and reformats! All I ask if that you do not claim the work as your own, please.
• I can write upwards to 6k story scenes if that is what you're after, though I will want to hash out details with you about what exactly it is you're after
• Will put a hesitant restriction on ordering no more than 6 ~500-1000 pieces at once. Work wise, this is similar to a long consecutive scene, so I'd like to not take on too many and overwhelm myself.

Will write:

• Animal/dragon POV
• Human/anthro POV
• First or Third person, Past or Present tense
• Genres I specialise in are action and horror. I can also do scientific writing, blurbs/worldbuilding/lorewriting, and character reflections/studies.
• I struggle with domestic/slice of life or romance writing, but it could be considered depending on a case by case.

Will not write:

• Anything involving real life people such as actors, youtubers, etc.
• NSFW
• Though I can do scientific writing, I will not write reports or essays for your own school/uni/work

Thanks for looking! Examples and specifics can be found below. Here is my pinglist for if queue is full/wait times are long.

[size=5][b][u]Writing Examples:[/u][/b][/size] [size=4][b]Extract 1, lore building/blurby style[/size][/b] [quote][size=2]Not originally hailing from the kingdom of Hydatid, Zero sought refuge there when they had exhausted all other options. No cure. No respite. No mercy. Who wanted to stick their own neck out for a diseased dragon? Who wanted to open their homes and welcome in the contagion? Zero had already witnessed their own family succumb to the pathogen, alone and afraid, they turned to plead at the doorstep of their last hope. A kingdom rumoured to be so infested with plague and rot that it carried a physical stench to it. Zero arrived at the gates of Hydatid and almost turned tail. The rumours were true; nothing but a seething pit of pustulating decay. Still, what other option did they have? They had to swallow down their revulsion and step within those outer curtain walls. Mercy. Acceptance. Salvation. The kingdom was unlike anything Zero had expected. Rather than the distress and disgust they had been expecting, they had become accustomed to back at their prior home, instead they were met with empathy. Dragons missing limbs rebuilt their lives with wooden pegs or reforged it in steel. Those born with genetics abnormalities walked amongst the abled-bodied without scrutiny nor scorn. Curse, illness, and improperly healed injury were all accommodated for, all normalised. For the first time since the parasite had taken up residence within Zero's body, they felt the fledgling dove of hope unfurl within their chest. Perhaps there was a cure for them, perhaps these dragons here who had dealt with the worst of the worst and thrived despite it could save them. Even if not, even if Zero still succumbed to the writhing tendrils plucking along their spinal column in a sick mimicry of guitar strings, then at least they'd have a place to rest until their time came. These dragons, as kind as they were, seemed the type to know when to put a sick dog down. Zero could sleep easy now with that reassurance. What a terrible, morbid thought to take comfort in. [/quote][/size] [size=4][b]Extract 2, lore building/blurby style[/size][/b] Please note, this extract is terribly old, however it is here to provide another example of this style until I do more recent work for my own dragons. [quote][size=2]Avalon's origins are unknown. She is not of royal blood and did not inherit her throne, instead obtaining it through tyranny. Despite this unorthodox rise to power, many of her subjects like her and rejoiced when the reign of the last Queen, Lyssa was cut short. Avalon is partners with the King Albion. They had three sons named Sebastian, Calahan, and Gibbler. The family arrived at the Kingdom of Hydatid while it was still under the iron thumb of the Queen Lyssa. The kingdom was on the verge of economic collapse, it's people suffering immensely beneath the current monarch's reign. Riddled with disease and famine, it was not a desirable location to live, even by plague standards. Avalon couldn't stand to see families alike her own suffering, and so she decided to end it. *** Avalon employed the assistance of physicians and scientists in order to develop cures and vaccines against the many diseases and viruses circulating within the Plague Flight. Once these vaccines were developed and proven effective, they were circulated to the Hydatids and immunity was built up against the cruel environment. Avalon traded some of these vaccines to neighbouring Plague Kingdoms and neighbouring Flights such as the Shadow Flight. In return, Hydatid received resources and goods and was able to become somewhat sustainable by breeding and farming those more resilient and versatile animals they received. With famine and disease no longer crippling the kingdom, Avalon began expansion. The most notable expansion Queen Avalon made was the school. During Queen Lyssa's rule, only the elites and nobles were provided with education. However, Avalon desired to provide more equal opportunities for all hatchlings. Although the castes still remained, she ushered away the hereditable roles. Hatchlings were no longer locked into the role they were born into, they were now free to climb and achieve the ranks with enough hard work. Similarly, noble hatchlings were no longer guaranteed a high ranking role within Hydatid. The biggest change Avalon's reign has brought about is the community shift. If desired, hatchlings from other Flights are allowed to study abroad at Hydatid school. Families from different flights are allowed to immigrate and become citizens of Hydatid. Considering all this, the Plague Flight is a tough place to live, riddled with disease and devoid of well... anything, making it a rather undesirable place to live. Most of the dragons Hydatid receives applications from generally have shady backgrounds. So long as they obey the law within Hydatid, they're welcome. Avalon is a fair Queen and doesn't judge those by past mistakes, only what they will make of the future. Perhaps there is a reason she does not speak of her past.[/quote][/size] [size=4][b]Extract 3, story style, very reflective/inner monologuey[/size][/b] [quote][size=2]They’re taking them away from him. Again. He’s going to lose them. Sherry, her small fingers clutching at the leg of his pants as she stared up at him with large, watery eyes. He’d taken her hand between his own and squeezed it firmly. He’d lied and promised her that she’d see him again soon. Manuela, face streaked with the remnants of tears and what was once her father. She’d asked how to carry on living and Leon had struggled to provide an honest answer for her. He would have liked to find the solution together alongside her, but they took her too. Ada. Claire. Marvin. Leon’s parents. He just keeps losing people over and over again. Each and every situation, out of his control. The cruel twists and turns of fate. The unforgiving, cold indifference of the universe. Each and every situation leaving Leon rendered open and his heart shattered upon the shores of these forsaken attachments. They’re taking them away from him. Again. Ashley hugs him so fiercely that it hurts his ribs and aggravates the sensitive, gnarled mess of laser-burnt tissue on his chest. She hugs him so tightly as she pleads that he keep in contact. Leon can’t even hug her back, because there are oh so many judgmental eyes. Every direction. Security personnel and medics. Pilots and stuffy military men. Leon swears he can even still feel a wicked, gleaming gaze prying through his mind. Ashley hugs him farewell, and Leon lets her go. He lets her go because he is, and will always be, a coward.[/size][/quote] [size=4][b]Extract 4, story style, dialogue heavy[/size][/b] [quote][size=2]“It’s hard to return to normal, isn’t it?” Luis tilts his face away from the stars, glancing over at Leon with a contemplative sort of expression. “I do not believe I’ve ever been granted ‘normal’, Sancho.” He taps ash from the end of his cigarette and sighs. “But I get what you mean. It is hard.” Leon chews on the inside of his cheek as he mulls over which words to utter. He’s never been good at offering comfort. How can one freely extend that which they’ve never been granted themself? He simply doesn’t know how the sentiment is supposed to work. “We’ll get through it.” “Sí, I always do,” Luis murmurs, and then he’s turning to face Leon fully. Leg crossed over the other and body twisted at the waist. There’s something unfamiliar darkening his sharp eyes. As he exhales heavily from his nose, smoke clouds around his face like a nebula. “And from what I understand, so do you, hm, amigo mío?” The words are oddly charged. A loaded gun pressed firm and biting into the palm of Leon’s hand. Is the intention to fire it at himself, or at Luis? “I don’t understand what you’re asking me.” “Racoon City.” The words make Leon flinch. A bullet, blunt force through the chest. “Why don’t you hate me?” “What? I don’t-” “Racoon City. I was responsible.” Another bullet, this one clipping the corner of his malleable heart. Leon breathes through the sharp, piercing agony of it. “I don’t believe that.” Luis’ lip curls and his jaw muscles jump visibly. He leans in close, eyes flashing with something hard. Something scared. “I was Umbrella’s perfect little pet, on the team which made Nemesis. Without me, they never would have had the Tyrants.” The words leave him in a rush of vitriol and self-loathing. They’re spat angry and hissing like venom. “I killed Raccoon City. I know you were there. So you should-” “Do you regret it?”[/quote][/size] [size=4][b]Extract 5, story style, descriptive heavy[/size][/b] [quote][size=2]It is subtle at first, the way in which Luis mutates and changes. One is unaware of alterations occurring at their cellular level. They don’t feel the shift in stomach acidity or the increased duplication of white blood cells. There is no nervous synapse triggered when one’s liver increases production of bile and their kidneys begin to filter toxins at far greater efficiency. At first it is subtle, because it’s all occurring internally; but then... Luis starts to feel it. The elongation of tendons and broadening of bones. The stretch as organs widen, as new lobes appear on his liver and new chambers divide within his heart. It’s reminiscent of growing pains. Shin splints and the deep ache from overexerting oneself during exercise. Like a terrible hangover, when one’s body is so dehydrated everything physically throbs with it. With each indistinct change his body undergoes, he feels the threads of humanity slip further and further from his scrabbling hands. Breathing begins to come easier to him. Is it because his punctured lung has finally healed? Or is it because he now possesses pockets of air-cells throughout his body? His wobbled steps become stronger and more assured. Is it due to his body replacing the lost blood? Or is it due to the additional muscles in his calves he can glimpse if he flexes them just so? It makes him feel ill. Memories of specimens pulled open and pinned to a board in his laboratory. An amalgamated mess of striated muscle, slowly swallowing up the cardiac and smooth. Bulbous, foreign organs he could scarcely discover the function of let alone match to an extant species. Would he be the same as those salamanders and dogs on the inside? He knows he will be. He’s performed necropsies on infected villagers. He knows he’s just as festered inside as they are, but he can’t stomach the mere thought of it. He doesn’t want to accept it. He can’t accept it, but then the mutations begin to encroach into the physically noticeable territory. He can no longer deny it after that. Not when he glances down to his hand and a stranger’s limb stares back.[/size][/quote] [size=4][b]Extract 6, scientific writing style[/size][/b] [quote][size=2]This genus can be identified by the shared traits of: eight distinct and segmented limbs, eight simple eyes, possession of an exoskeleton as well as a simple endoskeleton, and a torso separated into the cephalothorax, abdomen, and ‘false head’ regions. The presence of a simple endoskeleton permits bipedalism, though the bone lacks the density to support sustained erectness for larger individuals. This ‘false head’ is reminiscent of a human cranium, hosting the creature’s eyes, mouth, and olfactory organs and adorned with a series of chitinous plates important for display purposes. Ornate weavings constructed from the Macroachnid’s own silk may be placed around or atop these plates. The mouth consists of double mandibles, allowing the structure to segment into four individual pieces. Some species may possess a pair of venomous fangs located at the end of each mandible segment. No species possess true ears, instead ‘hearing’ through the series of whisker-like hairs across their limbs which connect to pockets of vibration sensitive fluid dispersed across their body. All species of Macroachnid possess copper rich hemocyanin in place of iron rich haemoglobin, thus giving their blood and organs a vibrant blue colouration.[/size][/quote] The reason I provide so many examples is because I'd love for you to be as highly specific as possible about what you'd like! 50kt/50 gems seems a decent price for ~300 words in whichever style you'd like, though as stated earlier, that's not firm and I won't be upset if you offer under that. It's more there to cover the amount of work/time it takes to familiarize myself with established characters and preexisting lore, so if you want something done from scratch, I am more than happy to quote you lower. Below is an example of the details I'd like, but this isn't a set order form and there is no need to fill this out if you'd rather hash the details out differently. Thank you! [quote][b]Dragon/OC:[/b] (pop a link here) [b]Writing style preference?:[/b] (eg. extract 5) [b]Estimate of the word count you're after?:[/b] (eg. 500 words) [b]Would you like the initial draft DMed to you for edits, or prefer correspondence to remain in the forum here?[/b] (DM/forum) [b]Details:[/b] (eg. what is your character's personality like? Are you wanting a particular scene or plot to occur? Are there any other character's important I should include/reference to where possible? Please feel free to give me as much detail as you'd like!)

[size=5][u][b]Other Offerings:[/b][/u][/size] Anything offered which I don't consider a main writing service can be found below! [size=4][b]Playlists[/size][/b] I can make small, custom playlists for your dragons or OCs. Tell me about their personalities, lore, or backstories and I'll pick out 5 songs I think fit them lyrically. Let me know which genres you like/want and I'll do my best to find songs within it. [b]Example 1[/b] For PatientZero, my dragon suffering from a parasitic infection and losing their lucidity. Themes for them were creepy/distorted or rock/electronic [quote][size=2][center][LIST] [*]Bloodsuckers - Johnny Hollow [*]The Fear - Electric Enemy [*]Survive - Night Club [*]Water - ohGr [*]Monster Under My Bed - Call Me Karizma [/LIST][/center][/size][/quote] [b]Example 2[/b] For Gideon, my cowgirl dragon leading a band of scoundrels called the Outclaws. Genre themes for her was country with a preference for female artists/feminine vocals [quote][size=2][center][LIST] [*]Chasing Twisters - Delta Rae [*]Fist Fight - DEVORA [*]Follow Your Arrow - Kacey Musgraves [*]Raise Hell - Brandi Carlile [*]Leaving Time - Dustbowl Revival [/LIST][/center][/size][/quote] Once again happy for these to be PWYW, but let's say 5kt/5gems per song as a base guide, so if you want 5 songs, 25kt or 25 gems. Feel free to toss items or food at me if you'd rather. [size=4][b]Species Building[/size][/b] This is an odd one to market and not sure if there's interest, but I have a background in biology and ecology. Though I wouldn't consider myself an expert, I do have a solid understanding of physiology and adaptations animals will develop depending on environmental pressures. So, long story short, if you have an original species or critter you're kinda wanting help developing the abilities of or science behind, I am more than happy to help. I always love developing critters. If you want, you can toss me their references and I can generate some ideas for you about the environments they may live in, the organs they may possess, uses for some of their features, etc. Once again pwyw. Generating ideas isn't much skin off my back, so I'm happy for you to toss a token familiar or apparel my way or something for this haha.
