Welcome to my writing shop! I love coming up with unique characters and now I'm hoping to help other users tell the stories of their pets.
Note: At this time, I am only taking story requests through my ping group.
Forum Group: Please feel free to join Pure's Group to receive an alert when slots open. I also may do the occasional holiday contest as time allows for members of my group. My tag is

Order (Planning/Outline): *Fill out all required fields and as many optional fields as you would like. As soon as I have your form you will be slotted immediately or in the next available slot if you are on my wait list. *I now have a wait list set up. If you want a story but need time to fill out the form, I will be glad to add you to this list and give you a slot once the form is finished. I will also be glad to put you on the list when slots are full. The order for slots will be determined by the order I receive forms in. *I will accept up to two requests per slot. Each story will be priced according to length but if you would like a combo of sketch/standard/long stories, I can do this. At this time, I am asking requests be kept to one story per slot. If you have a character pair with stories that need to be linked, please smail to discuss. *Character sketches are best for a pet whose art or treasures tell most of the story. Complex stories are best for pets with highly detailed stories that require multiple sections. Due to the amount of time required for a complex story, I am only able to take one request of this type per slot. *I prefer to work with unique characters though if you are willing to give me references for a fan pet I will consider this type of story. I rarely reject requests unless I really feel I cannot do your character justice.
-
Draft: *Please give me 1-4 days for stories up to 2,500 words and 3-7 days for complex stories to prepare the first draft. I will try to send you an update within 3 days of receiving your request to give you a more accurate idea of when the first draft will be ready if I am unable to complete the first draft within these time limits. *For Sketch, Standard and Long stories I will draft directly from the form. Once I have the first draft formatted, my pet Drafts will serve as host to allow you time to read it over. *For Complex stories I will create an outline and get your approval for the story layout. (Unless you would prefer to provide an outline.)
-
Revisions: *Editing for the final draft usually takes 1-3 days depending on the volume of changes requested, though long and detailed stories may require more intense editing. I have a degree in English and a grudge against typos so grammar will be checked and double-checked with each draft I prepare. *I want your pet's story to be exactly what you want and I will gladly apply your feedback until the story is as you want it.
-
Payment: *Once you are happy with the story I will set up a lot for payment. Once payment is received I will send a message with the full, coded story so that you can add the story to your pet's profile. A credit with my username will be included at the bottom. Please do not remove this credit.
Form
Required:
Pet Name:
Setting: This section can include a type of climate (desert, tundra, city, forest, etc.) or a specific place (Arctic Frost in Subeta or a research base in Antarctica for example).
Personality: Any specific personality traits you want portrayed in the story go here. Is your pet friendly to everybody or do they prefer seclusion? Are they extremely active or terribly lazy? These are just two examples of possible personality traits. There are many, many more.
Optional:
PoV: I usually write in third-person point of view though I have experience with first and I'm willing to try second.
Physical traits: Does your pet have any physical traits that make them stand out? This section is especially important if you want a human character you want described in detail. If you prefer, you can use this space to link me to art of your pet.
Likes/Dislikes: Does your pet have an item they are obsessed with? A food they cannot live without? An activity they will happily spend all day doing? The opposite also applies. What things or activities does your pet avoid whenever possible?
Other characters to include: This section may include other pets in the family or your pet's minion if you would like the minion to play a role.
Preferred Length: If you want to stay within a specific price range please state this in your request when you fill out this form. It is much easier to write with a limit in mind than to make heavy cuts once the story is written.

Oohh I'd love to request a story from you <3 I love all your splotlight wins and glad you are taking commissions!!!
Pet Name: [url=subeta.com/pets/elegia[/url]
Setting: In a wintry, frozen forest.
Personality: Cold, isolated, cautious and a free spirit. She is a survivor and does not trust strangers.
Optional:
PoV: First person please?
Physical traits: A typical grey wolf with golden eyes. She has luscious fur, however with visible gun scars on her shoulder and flanks. She is a lone wolf but feared by the other wolf packs, they say death comes when she sings.
Likes/Dislikes: Likes warmth, freshly killed food, a full belly and dislikes mankind.
Other characters to include: None specified d;
Preferred Length: A standard long story will be great, but if you feel like writing longer I wouldn't mind ^_^
Anything else?: A very vague rundown of the plot I have in mind; When she was a young cub, Elegia often wanders close to the bordering village out of curiosity. Ignoring her parents' continuous warning on not get too close with humans, she got attracted to their warm firelight. She'd visit a certain girl who she befriended with everyday, and the girl would feed her. But one day a hunting party came into the forest, Elegia's parents died defending their cubs. She never trusted humans again.
She also have a white hawk friend named Wintersong.
I hope it helps, if you got any more questions ask away ^-^
I have you slotted. I love wolves and animal stories in general so this will be fun. You've given me good detail but if I have any questions as I'm drafting I'll let you know.

[egg=Pureflower] [tp=Pureflower]
I offered, thank you so much! You are an amazing writer and your finish so fast :3 Do you mind if I ask for another story (or two)?
Pet Name: Sandro (profile link)
Setting: Nothing set in stone yet
Personality: He's supposed to be a new ninja turtle, so something that isn't already in the original ones? I am not too sure since this is my first time trying to make up a story that isn't journalistic (is that a word?) since I used to be a senior editor for my school paper c:
Optional:
PoV: I'm down for anything! 😃
Physical traits: Like a regular TMNT, except with a yellow bandana and tonfas as his weapons. Here's an image
Likes/Dislikes: Likes pizza, lives in the sewers, adept in martial arts and weapons mastery but ultimately chose the tonfa as his primary weapon. Dislikes the shredder, like all ninja turtles I guess. Lol
Other characters to include: This section depends on where you wanna go with the story, but I'd like to have his 'brothers' and Splinter in the story, one way or another.
Preferred Length: You have complete artistic freedom 😃
Anything else?: His name is from the artist Sandro Botticelli, and I drew some inspiration from the
. Just some bits and pieces about him ^
Thanks again for giving me a slot c:
I hadn't really thought about a limit but I would be fine with two per slot. Since your first request is complete I'll put you in a new slot once I get the new form(s).

Ah sorry, silly me! xD
Here is the new form
this is long
Pet Name: Cygne
PoV: Third
Setting: In a fantasy modern day wintry city, an old deserted castle and the national theatre of the fantasy land.
Personality: Wise, she can be cute and bubbly sometimes, and other times, mute and just be left alone from people.
Physical traits: Tall, pale and regal, with long flowing ginger hair and hazel eyes. She has feline like features.
Likes/Dislikes: Has a crazy obsession with peppermint candies, her harp, and occasionally dislikes people when she wants to be left alone.
Other characters to include: [subeta.net/pets/sorrows]Amalia (Lia) Karanova[/b] from the Karanova Academy of Ballet, they are actually half sisters sharing the same mother but they never knew. Cygne just find it intriguing how much they look like. (I kinda want her story to be related to Amalia's, it's quite long to read so feel free to scan through it if you want?)
Kathryn (Kath) Hill, Amalia's cousin and envious classmate, loves to talk sh*t behind other people's back. Especially if that person is prettier/smarter/generally better than her. Anastasya (Anne) Fable, director of the Fontaine Ballet Theatres, where Cygne works as a harpist. Anne was previously a principal ballerina of the theatre, she appears to be proud and overconfident.
Anything else?: A general outline of what I have in mind ^u^ ~Her full name is Cygne Pepper Mints, 26 yr old professional harpist. She grew up with her father and stepmother. ~She's somewhat psychic, always strangely attracted to the haunted ruins of the Swan Castle. She hears music and sees things from inside the castle, and it feels to her that she knows the place for all her life. When Cygne was in school, she never have to study for the history, and almost always get a perfect score for her history papers. Though she did claim that she knows everything that happened beyond the frozen castle gates, people just thought she was telling stories. Cygne gave up trying to convince people of what she can do, so she just keeps it to herself, and use the music she heard from the ruins Swan Castle as her inspiration. ~ Cygne is often being called Miss Peppermint/Cygnet by her friends/family
