So, I’ve had a few people ask me if I would take commissions and what my rates would be if so. After spending a lot of time thinking and considering and overanalyzing (because that’s what I do), I decided to open up for commissions. There are limited spots, and once those are filled, I will close commissions until those are completed (in an effort to keep anyone from waiting too long for their work to get finished) 

For those of you who are familiar with my new writing schedule, commissions get the primary spot every day (meaning I write at least 500/1000 words per day (on average) before I work on anything else. 

Creating new content: Micro drabble (approximately 500 words) - $5  Drabble (approximately 1,000 words) - $10 Short One Shot (approximately 2,000 words) - $20 One Shot (approximately 4,000 words) - $40 Long One Shot (up to 5,000 words) - $50 Longer fics are approximately $1 per 100 words depending on length

Smut, Violence, Gore/torture are extra, but it will be decided on a story to story basis (those take a lot more time to write) 

Edit / beta (for other writers looking for help): Up to 1,000 words - $2 (quick), $5 (in depth)  Up to 2,000 words - $4, $10 Up to 3,000 words - $6, $15 Up to 4,000 words - $8, $20 Up to 5,000 words - $10, $25 Rate - $2 per 1,000 words for a quick edit, $5 per 1,000 words for in depth 

In a quick edit, I will check for general mistakes (typos, grammar, commas etc) and in the in depth edit I will make more suggestions (word choice, sentence structures, etc. See example below, @cinlat​ allowed me to use a section of her story that I beta read for her. The black text is her original and the green additions are my edits)

Questions/Answers:

Which fandoms will I write? I currently write in both Naruto and Overwatch so those are easiest. If you have a request from another fandom, feel free to ask if I know it. If I don’t think I can write the characters, I will tell you. You can also request original characters with a fandom character, or a work that is completely original. Outside of fandom, I mostly write fantasy but I’ve branched into sci-fi and modern a bit but I’m open to trying anything. 

Which pairings do I write?  I am a multishipper and can believe any pairing as long as the writing is done well. I’ve written mostly KakaSaku, KakaYama, Genma/Sakura, and Reaper76 but I’ve written several others you can find in my works.

Do commissions have to be a ship/pairing? No, I will write friendship, family, or even solo prompts if there is something specific that you want to see. I have a couple of general fics in my profile that you can read to see if you like my style. 

How long does a request take? Obviously it depends on the length of work. The average turn around would be one week to a month. Let me explain my process so you know what you’re getting into: I write a story, I edit it in depth, then I send it to my beta who also does an in depth edit, then I edit it one final time. All of that takes time, especially for longer stories

Is there anything I won’t write? Non-con, incest, underage, but I reserve the right to turn down any request for any reason. 

Can you request a chapter from a current story? No, if you really want to see another chapter of something, please support me on ko-fi (and feel free to let me know what it’s for to give me some incentive to work on the story). You are welcome to request either a scene in a current work, or a scene in the universe of a story, but I don’t feel comfortable letting someone commission an entire chapter of an story I’m already writing because they’re already plotted out. 

How do you request a commission? Message me on tumblr and we’ll talk about your idea, we can figure out how many words I think it will take to do the idea justice. Then, I’ll start outlining and/or writing. This takes a while and I’ll probably ask you some questions as I get into the story (most characters don’t do what I tell them so sometimes I have to adjust the plot a little), and you can have some sneak peeks of scenes if you want to. Once I finish with all my edits, I’ll send you a link in google docs for the story. Unless otherwise agreed before, once you read the story I will post it on AO3, FF, and Tumblr. 

How does payment work? Payments need to be made through paypal, that protects both of us. I do require payment upfront so neither of us wastes our time.

Can you support me through any other means? Yes! Absolutely, I have a Ko-fi which has tiers of membership as well as one time donations.

Ignoring the question, Sakura crossed her arms over her chest. “Tell me about the mission.” 

Kakashi raised one shoulder in a shrug. “It’s an S-ranked Anbu mission. You know I can’t give you the details.” 

“Well then, you also know I can’t clear him.” Sakura raised her chin to meet Kakashi’s dark, guarded gaze. As much as their friendship had developed over the past few months, he still managed to needle under her skin with little effort. Huffing out a frustrated breath, she continued. “How can you give me mission details when you send me the broken shinobi afterward, but not let me know what to expect? How does that make any sense?” 

The tense silence between them stretched for a moment as Kakashi formulated his response. Then, he sighed. “We have intel that a hideout belonging to Orochimaru is showing—” 

“You want to send him back to Orochimaru,” Sakura burst out, unable to contain her incredulity. “After everything he’s been through? How could you possibly think that’s a good idea?”

The lines across Kakashi’s forehead deepened, and Sakura realized that she might have revealed more about her relationship with Tenzo than she meant to. They wouldn’t have had much reason to talk about his past, especially since she had him on leave for medical reasons. But, as the Anbu medic, she had access to his file. Tenzo had admitted that much of what he’d told her was recorded inside. It wouldn’t have been unlikely that Sakura read it. 

Whatever conclusion Kakashi came to about the information, he kept his opinion to himself. “An abandoned research laboratory on the outskirts of the Land of Fire has been showing activity: disappearances, strange noises, and smoke. I need someone to secure the facility.” 

Refusing to be swayed, Sakura inclined her head. “And, you have dozens of Anbu who aren’t currently on leave. Send one of them.” 

The idea of sending Tenzo back to one of the facilities that he’d been trapped in as a child soured Sakura’s stomach. He would understandably be on edge and if something went wrong, it would set back weeks worth of hard work. Considering his slip with alcohol the night before, and the night terrors that came with it, Sakura couldn’t risk returning him to the field, not yet. He wasn’t ready. She had to find a way to protect him without damaging his trust again. 

“Sakura,” Kakashi chided, voice taking on the tone he’d used when trying to make her see reason as a genin. It hadn’t worked then either. “There are people disappearing, a couple of them were kids. If anyone knows how Orochimaru operates and how to capture him, it’s Yamato.” 

The plea tugged at Sakura’s heartstrings, but Tenzo needed just as much protection as those missing children did. If something went wrong, as it so often did on missions, she wasn’t sure how he’d react. His battered body in the hospital bed after his previous two missions flashed through Sakura’s mind. But, it gave her an idea. “I’ll grant his medical clearance on one condition.” 

The soft snort of disbelief from Kakashi didn’t match the ice in his gaze. “You do understand your input is a recommendation, right? I don’t have to follow your advice.”

“Yet, you keep asking for it,” Sakura countered, meeting Kakashi’s stare without flinching. There were only a few things that would make her stand up to her former sensei, and patient care was one of them. 

“What is your condition?” Kakashi shifted on the couch, a clear mark of discomfort. At least he was willing to entertain the idea. 

Sakura let out a measured breath to gather her courage. There was only way that she’d feel comfortable with Tenzo being back in the field. “Assign me to his team.” 

“Absolutely not.” Kakashi’s answer came almost as soon as the words left Sakura’s lips. “This mission has a high probability of failure, and you are not trained to handle these types of situations.”

Whose fault is that? Sakura managed to keep the question from leaving her lips, but only barely. Anger flooded her system at the implication that she was somehow less because she hadn’t received Anbu training. She had completed S-rank missions before, and her medical ninjutsu rivaled if not surpassed Tsunade’s. “If you’re worried about failure, I’m the best option to get your team out without casualties.” 

“This isn’t a game,” Kakashi growled, scrubbing a hand through his hair. “I know you’re a good medic, the best even, but Yamato’s team won’t cater to you if you can’t keep up.” 

“I don’t need anyone to cater to me.” Sakura gestured at her dirty clothes with one hand as if they explained everything. “This may come as a surprise to you, but I'm in the best physical shape that I’ve ever been.” 

Kakashi shook his head like the fact was of little consequence. “That may be so, but you aren’t Anbu. There won’t be an extraction team if something goes wrong.” 

“You think I don’t know that?” Sakura recalled the harsh reality that she’d witnessed at the hospital and Tenzo’s apartment since returning to the village. “I’m not a scared, untrained genin any longer, Kakashi-sensei.” 

The title melted the ice in Kakashi’s eyes, transforming it into something like pride. “I know, but that doesn’t make you ready for this type of situation.”
