Welcome! I've reopened my writing shop to help take my mind off of real life in these trying times.
Note: Putting requests on hold until we get through the holiday season. I'm going to be working a lot of overtime and won't be home on the weekends much. I'm hoping to start taking requests again in early January when life (hopefully) slows down again. Thanks!
The Writing Process
Order (Planning): *Fill out all required fields and as many optional fields as you'd like. As soon as I have your form you'll be slotted or put on the wait list for the next available slot. *One story per slot, please. *Character sketches are best for a pet whose art or treasures tell most of the story. *If your character is a fan pet for an existing character, please see the box below.
Draft: *I'll usually have a rough draft in 1 day for character sketches and 2-3 days for standard/long stories. If I need more time (real life being what it is), I'll be in contact. While these estimates are typically correct, with this being the busy season at work (and working through buying a house), I am running slow. I aim to have a draft ready in one week but sometimes life gets in the way. Your patience is much appreciated!
Revisions: *Editing for the final draft usually takes 1-2 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 want your pet's story to be exactly what you want. If something's missing or you want to take a section in a different direction, let me know and I'll gladly make changes.
Payment: *Once you're happy with the story, I'll set up a lot for payment. Once payment is received, I'll send you a link to the full, coded story.
Form
You can fill out as many or as few of the optional fields as you like.
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: Whatever you like. I've worked in first, second and third. See examples below.
Physical traits: Does your pet have any physical traits that you want emphasized? 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 your pet's art.
Likes/Dislikes: Does your pet have an items they're obsessed with? A food they can't 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'd 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's much easier to write with a limit in mind than to make heavy cuts once the story is written.

Sample Form
Sometimes it helps to see a sample when trying to come up with a character, so here is the form filled out for my pet, Here.
Pet Name: Here
PoV: Third
Setting: Here was born in a history museum in the middle of the night millions of years after the rest of the dinosaurs on his home planet went extinct. He manages to have a few misadventures before escaping to his new forest home.
Personality: As a newborn, Here is very unsure of himself yet he is curious about everything. His strong survival instincts make him cautious of his surroundings until he determines a new item is not a threat.
Physical traits: Small pink raptor with bright blue eyes.
Likes/Dislikes: Discovers his love of lollipops as he wanders the museum.
Other characters to include: Not really, though he does startle a museum guard in making his escape.
Anything else?: Here has vague memories of his mother as the egg he was born from somehow survived the extinction of the dinosaurs.

I have Scooter as a boy but I see this is a genderless pet so I can alter the story if needed. The story focuses on the misadventures of a snail.
Snipsnail's is focused on a save the ocean theme.
I made Sunny and Sunflower twins with opposing personalities. I wanted to keep the focus on their love of flowers, so the setting stays in the meadow where they live.
Please let me know if there are any changes or additions you'd like.
When the stories are how you want them, I have Trade Lot set up. These are three standard stories for a total of 45 mil or 450 csc.

You mentioned that your husband is a gamer. Before I request a story, does he know anything about Borderlands 2 and the character Tiny Tina?
| | | |
He has the game on his play list but hasn't started yet. Depending on how quickly you'd be looking for a story, he would definitely be willing to collaborate. I'll understand if you want to look for a writer with more immediate knowledge but it's a project I'm sure we could take on together. He's as big on getting characters right as I am.

Hi! Would You be interested in writing a kinda long life story for my cancer survivor ( Survived for over 10 years, but ultimately lost her battle ) pet tinybutMIGHTY? If so... Pet Name: tinybutMIGHTY Setting: Delphi ( Retired here from Atebus Reactor ) Personality: Tough disciplinarian, but [I]just[/I] Optional PoV: I think 3rd? Reason I say that is because it's a life story about her battle with the big C Physical Traits: Chibi Charlie ( Pink with [I]Stern[/I] golden eyes ) Likes/Dislikes: [I]Hummingbirds[/I], Watermelon ( Sorry, she really loved her watermelon lol ), anything to do with the sea, Strength/Perseverance, and Loyalty Dislikes colors blue and orange together, unless nature related. Other Characters: 2 surviving Offsprings KOKOmo and SEA HAG, her Oncologist Dr. Lynette and Nurse Rox, and many, many friends. Preferred Length: Long-ish Anything Else?: Was a Merchant Marine for years ( why she loves the sea ), had 2 surviving offsprings ( and also followed in her footsteps ) KOKOmo and SEA HAG, who doted on / fought along side her all the way through chemo/radiation, til the very end. Would like to send her off with a celebration of life Luau with her offsprings, Doc and Nurse and 3 of her closest former MM buddies J.R. , Samantha, and Will. Payment preferred is CSC.
If You are not interested, no worries! :)
I'm in no hurry at the present moment. I'm still working on the pet profile and TC.
I just wanted to gauge whether or not you would be able to fulfill the request. Others I have asked, haven't been able to. I'm in love with her character and want something that will capture her 'essence' and I know you do very well at that.
| | | |
I'll put you down for a slot. I'm very interested in her character.
Was the cancer caused by long-term daily exposure to the Reactor or a singular event? Do you want her existing story in any way included?
I've reviewed fan articles for Tiny Tina to get a basic idea of who she is. My husband is ready (and eager!) to get started on game play. I'm going to estimate I can have a draft by mid-December. I'll slot you now and what I can do is send you the story outline before I draft, make sure I'm on the right track and have captured her character correctly.
Are you looking for a story that focuses on a specific point in the game or do you want the story to be more behind-the-scenes? (i.e. between the scenes where you see her in the game or backstory.)

@/Pureflower Sweet! :)
Ah, thinking about it, I think the previous writer of her story, would not appreciate me using any part of her story, so I would like to change it that she contracted the cancer from aboard her merchant marine ship, Maria B ( that was nuclear-powered ). There was a containment breach that she was able to contain and save her crew, but received a deadly dose... Tho, I do want her story to show she was a [I]fighter[/I] , just not like her current story, where she would battle in any kind of arena setting.
Keep setting at Delphi, just change that she retired from her ship, to a beach house on Delphi. :)
Note: I added a lil more under 2 sections: Likes/Dislikes ( can not believe I forgot to add Hummingbirds under Likes cause she LOVED her hummers -_- ) and Anything Else.
Pretty much a story around her tea party. It's in the game. Where your husband hasn't played it, that's all I am going to say about it. :)

I'd love to get a story for my pet Crinoline.
Required Pet Name: Crinoline Setting: A fictional early 19th century England, except with slightly more modern ideas on what a woman can and cannot do. Personality: She's a young woman in her late 20's. Since she's from a wealthy family, she doesn't have to work and can instead spend her days dancing and raiding her wardrobe. Most importantly, however, this gives her time to write her romance stories. Usually sweet (sometimes scandalous), these stories are written under a pen name, but a few close friends know the truth.
Optional PoV: 3rd Physical Traits: Red hair, hourglass figure, pale skin (see drawing on profile) Likes/Dislikes: Likes:
I decided to create a story in parts because Tiny has so many great elements to her life and I wanted to spotlight each of them to capture her full character. I wasn't sure about her rank on the Maria B. I kind of left that open-ended in the draft. I worked in every detail except her dislike of orange/blue together, so I'll let you read the draft and if there's somewhere you'd like me to work in that detail, I certainly can.
I focused on fashion, friends and her semi-secret life as a writer. I feel like there could be a whole second story here centered around her love of dancing and balls but I wanted to give you the chance to look over what I have. (I'm still at the standard story length as it stands right now.)
My husband has started on game play (and is enjoying the game!). He's just started a new job and is adjusting to the hours. If we can make it work, I'll try to be there when he gets to the tea party scene so I can watch him play through. (Our schedules don't always sync...fingers crossed!) Just wanted to give you an update. I'm pretty sure I'll have a draft by next weekend.

cough Sorry, got some dirt in my eye that I had to get taken care of, so I could see to type. cough It's so beautiful ( especially how You did it in Parts and I going to see if the person doing her profile, can somehow showcase that ) and I hate to say this but is there any way to fit in J.R. , Samantha, and Will in there?[edit] I am so so sorry, but a few people have read story and said to me: "Hey, Why aint I listed in her story". So please add these names: Ashley, Charlene, Cherie, and Marie. ( I hope I edited this in time. =/ ). Maybe list them as part of the crew in the hallway. These names ( besides Dr and Nurse ) are very important. Please change the days from: Thursday to Wednesday and Monday to Saturday. I didn't mention it, but You can list her rank as Bosun. :)
That is why I didnt attempt to write story, I mean I just cant put feelings to words and I forget stuff. -_- lol
I love it! One small idea: when I first read it, I saw Rudy and thought that sounded like a girl's nickname and now I'm kind of in love with the idea that she secretly writes lesbian romance. Do you think you could make that change? I'm fine with Ellen still having a crush on Rudy, though I don't think Rin tends that way herself. (Though I think we'll need to give Rudy a different first name... It doesn't need to be super feminine though. Any ideas?)
