Hello and welcome to ♥ Torch's Tales ♥. Those of you that don't know me, here's a little info:
So, I'm Rae and I'm 26 years old and work part time on these stories. I am pretty easy-going but, as you will see from the FAQs, there are some things I cannot and WILL NOT do. No matter how much you bribe me.
Epic Stories
These are most likely to take place over more than a week (although not the case in the example). These are more than 1400 words long. They also take a relatively long time to write.
Example
Only One
These are best as realism or fantasy as they are my favourite genres to write and therefore are more likely to get the results you want.
Poems
These are no longer than 200 words and can be written in any rhyming pattern. Personal favourites are sonnets and will get you a discount, especially if you allow me to use Olde Englyshe...;)
Example
Only example is as part of Bae's story.
These can be any genre but romance or legend are the best.
Prices
These are negotiable but I will not be taking less than this.
Short Stories: 30k +
Long Stories: 100k +
Epic Stories: 500k +
Poems: 20k +
Bribe: Minimum of 2 × standard price above
Slots
I will be writing in order...ish...I will start in order at the very least.
- - 1 long/epic
- - 2 long
- - 1 short Bribe: (open)
FAQ
At this point just the expected FAQs...
Q. What WON'T you write?
A. I will not write violence, graphic or otherwise. At all. Not even a single strike. Seriously...it is not a good idea...unless you want this shop closed.
Q. My character is glbtq/sexually attracted to turnips...
A. That last one should give you an idea of how much I don't care. Yes, if you want it I will write it. But if he is gay, tell me, is he flouncing drama queen gay or sedate subdued "well yes I shag boys but so what?" gay? And if the character is lesbian (apologies for the following cliche) is she leather or lace? Oh and if the only reason the character is the sexuality they are is to make them edgier...damn right I'm going to gay up that story. I'm going to make it so gay George Takei and John Barrowman are going to double-team that bitch m'kay?
Special Offers
On occasion there will be special discounts listed here. Right now...
TT members - option to have a short story in exchange for an item of food not eaten by Wrox.
Can I nab two slots, one for a short story and one for a poem? Or would that be a bribe slot?
[edit] Actually can I get two poem slots instead?
- as its poems I will give you 1 slot for 2 poems. :)
Awww, thank you! Can you set up a trade so I can pay you? And sMail me with the sort of details needed? They'll be for my pets ^_^.
You pay when you are happy with it. All I need from you is: Pet name: Poem theme: Poem type: Any other details:
That's it :)
Ah, I see! That makes sense. sMailing you with those now :).
May I order a long story? :)
- absolutely. You have the second slot :)
okie doke! Can I get it for my pet Elie? She's a streamstress for bunnies that her grandmother raises. She moved in with her grandmother after she found her fiance cheating on her but now she's in college and found a new love interest. She struggles between pampering her bunny friends and telling the new handsom boy. :) Weird, huh?
- not at all. Not even one of the weirdest stories I have written for myself (seriously one of my wip's is a Hydrogen-based alien who wears a silicone rubber human suit for his job as a British weatherman...)
Oh my! Lol that seems interesting. xD
- hehe its for one of my own pets...lol
Ok, I've added you to the slot and will start work on commissions today... :)
which pet is that? I'd love to see it! Also, okay and thank you! :D I can't wait to see what you come up with.
- the pet is Hyetal but I haven't put his story up because it's not finished... :)
Ok ^^
Only the bribe slot is open honey... :)
- oh, I don't even know what a bribe slot is. :D OK, please let me know when you're available again, thanks!
