Only thing missing is my espresso martini.

Raise Giant Frogs - Easy to start!

Liam : "********$"

Hello hello!

Ever had an idea for a story or poem but struggle with your prose writing skills? Well, I will happily help write your idea to life for you! I will write original pieces of work or fanfiction according to what YOU want. The only caveat is that I do NOT write for Explicit rated works (the spiciest you'll get out of me is equivalent to the M rating on Ao3).

For any original work, give me a detailed description of the setting, general plot, characters, and any tropes you'd like me to include.

For fanfiction, I will write for any fandom and will feature any characters, ships, and will even include OCs if you so wish! If it's not a piece of work I'm already familiar with, I will happily do my own research to understand it better.

For song lyrics, I'd like to hear an instrumental to understand how the lyrics are going to sound.

Prices are as follows:

Poem/lyrics/Ficlet (100-500 words) - $5

Short Story/One-Shot (1000-5000 words) - $10

Multichapter (>5000 words; up to 3 chapters) - $15

Additional words for any of these tiers will be charged extra.

Commission me over on Fiverr:

🤨 No? I am married to Cardan. Not that Cardan @highking-cardan another one that's not taken. Have I found his blog yet? No. Will I someday? Probably no, I'm not searching.

"So are you going to have an open call?"

"Probably this September. We hire a lot of college students. Once they're out of the house and write porn without worrying about their parents."

"You should be recruiting their parents, because you can bet that Mom's been on Usenet, FF.net, and LJ. She probably also used to run an archive on Geocities or Angelfire before getting an A03 code."

I said I had people in mind.

The latest fiasco was not entire 50,000 word novels, but collections of short stories. Each book was to have ten stories of between 3,000 and 5,000 words. You guessed it - they tried the AI with results as before. Apparently there's a whole-ass market for porn targeted at people with short attention spans. I just had to fix one story. I jokingly pitched a collection of drabbles (100 words) and ficlets (1000 words). I should have kept my mouth shut because I am now tasked with writing ten drabbles and one ficlet. It was a wrangle over pay - never do free work and keep your pitch short - but the editor liked the idea because drabbles can be a form of erotic poetry.

In terms of medical bills, this check blasted a chunk out of the balance, a full fridge and pantry, and a chance to relax a little. I have a backlog of fic reading in one folder and backlog of writing in the other. The past month has been... well, you guys who know that I've gone through cancer and am in remission for 16 months know how it's affected me. During the last month, the insomnia and medical-oriented nightmares have been hard.
