Commissions for a Cause

All right peeps, here is the deal. One of LT3's authors, the fantastic Jaidon Wells (author of Dandy, which is equally fantastic and you should all check it out) is running a fundraiser to gather the money to pay for surgery to keep him walking.

It's an IndieGoGo thing, which if ya'll are unfamiliar, means you give money and pick out prizes. Prizes for the different donation tiers are stories and/or artwork by a handful of peeps, including me (hence the title).

I'll get to what I'm offering in a moment, but here are some more details:

» This post has details on what authors/artists are offering

» This tumblr will keep you apprised of how it's going

» This is the IndieGoGo page (my details are being added soon, so don't fret if you don't see them. You can still donate and claim a prize from me even if I'm unlisted). The cool thing about IndieGoGo is that any donations will be passed on, even if the goal isn't reached.

Okay, as to what I am offering (this is on the details page I linked above):

Commission nets the commissioner one story dedicated to them and based on a prompt from them. Prompts can include characters from an existing ‘verse of mine or something original, but I won’t write something that interferes with (1) sequel or WIP plans or (2) canon for existing stories. Commissioners can offer multiple prompts, in which case I'll try to incorporate as many as possible or pick from the offered prompts. I write all genres and across the LGBTQ spectrum, but do not write dub/non-con, character torture and I do not guarantee any sexually explicit content. Stories will be delivered within a year of the commission drive ending (and probably much sooner, but this is to cover my ass in case I turn out to be extremely popular).

Slots for 10K, 15K and 20K stories are limited to five so I don't go insane. Pricing is as follows:

$10 for 1,000 words
$20 for 2,500 words
$30 for 5,000 words
$45 for 10,000 words
$65 for 15,000 words
$90 for 20,000 words
