Commissions Are Open!

:iconjhost:

Hello all! For the first time in the history of my DeviantArt account, I am opening up commissions. I work full time now, but my work day is not always reliable due to weather, so I've decided to make up the difference by offering my writing talents to the world!

So here it is: everyone has OC's or fandoms that they love, but so often I see things like "story or bio coming soon..." and then it never comes. I'm here to help you fix that! I am passionate about characters and expanding character worlds, and would love to lend my services to you! Want to see your character or world in narrative action? Would you like to flesh out something that you could find the words for? Maybe you're excellent at writing music, but no good good at writing lyrics. Let me help you out!

What Prose Services I Offer And What You Can Expect to Pay!
1. Character Drafts/Bios - $5.00 apiece
Sample:

2. Character Drafts (Up to Three)/Bios/World Maps and Lore - $10.00
Sample:

Additional Character Drafts Are $2.00 each


3. Short Story Including OC(s) and/or Fandom (1-5 pages) - $15.00
Sample:

4. Long Short Story Including OC(s) and/or Fandom (10-30 pages) - $30.00
Sample: [link]

5. Novella Including OC(s) and/or Fandoms (50-100 pages) - $60.00
Chapter Sample: [link]

What Poetry/Lyrical Services I Offer And What You Can Expect to Pay!
Poem/Song: $7.00
Sample:

All work lengths are based on a standard Word document with 1" margins and 12/11 point fonts. All prices are negotiable--after all, works vary significantly in terms of complexity and required research. If something is out of your price range, don't let that stop you from inquiring! I'm willing to work with you. :)

Longer projects are also on the table, but it's hard to gauge the value of a large-scale work at face value. If you have a larger project in mind, feel free to contact me and we can hash out the details then. :)

As always, I have a list of things that are off the table for one reason or another. I will not:
-Write singularly hateful or racist material.
-Write explicit and tasteless pornographic material.
-Write about original character that are not yours without written consent from the original creator.

And that's about it--so please, contact me! Tell any friends you think might be interested! Put my name out there! Look forward to hearing from you all. :)

Regards,
Jason

Hello,

It might take me a bit to finish your requests. My computer has been buggy lately and thus my Tablet isn't behaving for me, but I will try to finish them as soon as I can. I appologize for this trouble. D:

Ha ha ha, no problem, Racheal. Take your time. I'm still trying to figure out how to nail this latest bit of the story myself. I had an idea that came so fluently when I first conceived it, and now when I'm sitting down to write it, it hasn't come out at all like had imagined it would. Ah well--the joys of being an artist.

Due to low water activity, I imagine? Or is there an active agent in honey?

~Jhost Jul 1, 2011  Hobbyist Writer
Osmotic properties have been proposed--but pasteurizing honey removes these properties, and so does meat tenderizer. That leads me to believe that there is an active agent in the honey--possibly a protein--that makes it a very unfriendly place for bacteria.

Hey, I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the comment you left on my short story (which I have since deleted). Though it's always been an interest of mine, I'm actually quite new at writing...well, finishing what I write anyway. And I can count all the short stories I've ever written on one hand.

The problem is, being so new to it, I don't know how to make some of the corrections you suggested. :hmm: I can try, but there's a real possibility that I'll either never improve, or that progress will come too slowly for it to matter. I've discovered I'm not a very fast learner when it comes to these things. (...And I guess since writing is just a side hobby of mine, that's not a huge deal anyway.)

But thanks again; your help is appreciated! And best of luck with your own writing! :thumbsup:

Laters.

I feel very bad, Ms. PsalmSeven. I did not mean to discourage your efforts or cause you reason to falter--I want to start off with that apology. The length of the critique in my reply spoke much more than the praise I gave it at the beginning, which I was trying (in vain) to avoid.

It's not a problem to be a "new" writer. :) It's not a defect or shortcoming--it's a wonderful thing! When I decided on a lengthier response to your story, I meant to communicate my respect for your work by giving it my undivided and critical attention. I did not want to disrespect or discount your effort by saying "It's good!", as I hoped to provide something meaningful to take away besides mere praise. I was not joking when I said I liked your idea, and so was endeavoring to help you shape it with my knowledge of the form as best as I could. That said, there are certainly other writers leaps and bounds more talented than I, so don't think anything I say is the be-all, end-all without a second (third, fourth, fifth) opinion. ;)

You will improve, my dear, and at every level there will be criticism and things you can improve on. Even today, literary scholars argue whether even works as powerful and timeless as "Catcher in the Rye" or the works of Shakespeare are "good" literature. So a work is not defined by where it lacks but where it succeeds--and your ideas beneath it all, I want to reiterate, are worth a stellar effort.

It's inevitable you'll improve if you keep at it--so just because it's a "side hobby" doesn't mean it can't produce something amazing. Like you mentioned in your journal about your artwork, it's something sometimes you have to look back and see. I look at works from my freshman year of high school and think: "What was I thinking?" But without them, I would not be where I am today. I have no doubt I'll say the same in ten years. I'm doubly in admiration of you for pursuing narrative and art together.

So God bless your efforts, PsalmSeven. I already am intrigued to the fresh start you've begun on "7th St.," and I think your creative intuition is dead-on: an epistolary format is much better to chronicle the adventures of Robin. I approve and I can't wait to read more!

As a fellow writer, I also feel compelled to share with you excellent art/story works that may inspire you.

Thanks Jhost. :) I'm really glad for everything that you wrote before. I did feel momentarily discouraged, but never without deep appreciation for the advice you gave! Your comment prompted me to start taking my writing more seriously. I'm even enjoying it more now that I've changed the format of the story. So no apology is needed... You did me a favor.

Also thanks for the links! I've actually been looking for something new to read, so this is great. I'll check them out right now.
