I swear I can write (almost) anything but intros. *headdesk*
Yay! We can write stuff! I (Lark) absolutely cannot draw stuff (well, I don't have the patience to), so here we are! Should this be in the Other Writing forum! No one ever looks there though! Yippee!
Anyways, yeah. We're looking to write stuff, because we... can write stuff. We cannot claim to be amazing writers and we're very much not professional, we do our best, though.
I won't judge how good we are, because a. I don't like rating myself because I'm insecure, and b. it's difficult to give an overall assessment as you can be better at one thing than another.
If we're not good enough for your liking, there's no need to commission. This is mostly for fun and practice for us, not that we're bragging about our skills.
(That was basically just me ranting weirdly, there wasn't a previous experience behind that or anything)
We will have examples below soon, if I ever stop getting embarrassed of my writing.
This is getting awkward, so here are the rules, with a nice bolded label at the top.
~~~
Rules 1. You do not get to choose who writes your commission (nah that sounds too fancy) order. You will be ignored. It really depends on who is more free at the time, or if one of us is better at writing a certain topic that the other. However, please ping both of us.
2. We accept all constructive criticism! We love to improve our incredibly garbage writing, so feel free to criticise, whether you ordered something or not. However, don't bash us. That's just rude and hardly makes us want to improve, so please tell us what we can do better, not just "omg lawl your writing is so trash even a raccoon wouldn't be interested". That was oddly poetic.
3. This is largely PWYW, since, well, we're really not sure what our writing is worth haha. We do, however, have low base prices. I'm not sure if that's still considered pay what you want. Tip what you want? I don't know.
4. We can give you an estimate on how long it will be until we finish, but we do get busy sometimes with real life so feel free to check in from time to time. Just don't demand every two hours for us to hurry up.
5. Don't ask us to write things that we don't write, please. Even if your order is valid, we have the right to decline it if we don't think we can write it, we don't like it, etc.
6. Your order will be posted here, usually as a link to a Google Doc or other forum post, unless you request that it be PMed or something else.
7. There is no guarantee that your story will exist forever. So copy it somewhere, I like to keep my Google Drive neat :P I'll leave it up for some time, but after that it's usually gone.
8. After it is written, feel free to ask to change details. If you would like, you can request to see the progress from time to time. Keep in mind that it is best to be as detailed with your request upfront, however, so we don't have to rewrite everything.
~~~
What We Write:
- Pet backstories/short stories
- OC backstories/short stories
- Character creation
- RP/RPG intros
- Worldbuilding
- Writing stories in general :P
- Just ask and we'll tell you if it's valid or not!
What We Don't Write:
- NSFW
- Excessive/graphic gore/violence (mild descriptions of violence are fine if needed, but we're not going to give an extremely detailed description of murder a murder scene)
- Nonfiction
- Anything over 50 pages long (unless, y'know, we get carried away, which can happen)
~~~
Have a random idea you'd like to see brought to life just for fun? We'll do it for free, just... no promises on time.

Hello (again)! So although this isn't the most active thing ever, we might be looking for a few people to help us with writing and editing stuff.
Please note that we can and most likely will be picky about accepting people. We're hardly amazing writers ourselves, but we will judge based on how good your writing is so don't be offended if you get rejected, you can always try again another time ^^ And of course, you must have decent grammar and spelling (yes, I understand that we all make typos sometimes).
We'll be slightly less picky with editors, but every edited piece will go through Mossflight or me eventually.
~~~
Rules/Requirements 1. You must have had experience writing/editing things before. Obviously we're not asking for you to be a published author or anything (as we aren't ourselves xD), but just either have something written (you can write it on the spot, really), or have edited a friend's story or something before (if not, we can give you something really bad to edit). It's that simple.
2. Be respectful. It's not that hard, either. No bashing other people's stuff, though you can give criticism if they ask for it first.
3. We will decide who gets to write what, usually based on what you're good at or who's most active, etc., and obviously we want to do some of it, too. If you want to claim something, ping us asking if you can take it. Most likely we will accept.
4. Feel free to let us know if you're not comfortable writing something or you want to take a break!
5. If you write something, you get all the money from it, obviously.
6. You can work with another writer if you would like. You should split the gold from it evenly, but it's really up to you, just no fighting, please.
7. Don't scream at us if we don't accept your form, please.
8. Please PM Larkien the sign-up form. If you post it here, you will be ignored.
9. Editors will get paid based on what they edit. I have yet to establish it, though.
