I (the writer) reserve the right to refuse any commission, for any reason at all (whether personal or non-personal) and at any time at all.

Full payment is expected up front. If you cannot do this or need a payment plan, please mention it in your request.

At times, people will be unsure how long they want the story to be and will just want me to write until I feel content with the story. If you'd like this option, you will pay the full price of the base commission up front, and then the rest as I am writing it.

A 10% fee will be added to the price for VGen fee and sales tax.

Payment will be through VGen.

Additional fees apply for commercial fees, as well as if you want the commission to be private or have a NDA. If you want complete permissions over my writing and be able to claim it as your own, then you will have to pay a ghostwriting fee. There is also a rush fee if you want to rush your commission to be done sooner.

Brainstorming phase: When I first get your request, I will begin brainstorming what I would write for the piece. During this time, I will likely message you, the commissioner, with ideas, asking how the character may react, etc. This is where I draft/outline plot points and make sure we are on the same page before I accept the commission. I will do this before I accept a commission and send back a proposal.

Draft/WIP phase: Once the commission is paid, I will begin working on it. Once I start writing, you will no longer receive a full refund if you ask for one/cancel. I will write your commission in multiple parts, and will update you and ask if you have any revisions. Each revision of the part that I just wrote for you is free as long as it's under half of the words (if the part has 500 words, I will delete, rewrite, edit, etc., up to 250 words for free).

Further revisions or major revisions/straying from the draft that you agreed to will incur additional fees.

Completed Work: Once the entire piece is written and you approve the piece and are happy with the story, the piece is officially finished. I can send/upload a PDF file of the writing to you, upload it to ToyHouse, etc.

My deadlines depend on the length and complexity of the piece, as well as my current queue. In the service it lists the estimated time it'll take, and this will also be notated in the proposal I send you.

By accepting the proposal, you are accepting the deadline. If you wish to speed up/rush the commission after the fact, I may not be able to. If I am, you still have to pay the rush fee.

If you need the work sooner, just let me know, and we can discuss a rush fee upfront. If I am unable to meet the deadline, I will let you know and reject the request before ever sending a proposal.

If a work is taking longer than expected and I need more time, this will be communicated to the client.

My writing is NOT to be used for any machine learning, AI, or NFT purposes.

You may NOT claim my writing as your own, or make edits to it, unless you purchase the ghost-writing add-on.

You may NOT use my writing for commercial uses (streaming, content, merch, etc.) without purchasing commercial rights.

If you purchase a commission without commercial rights, but then decide later on that you do want commercial rights, contact me, and we will work something out.

Unless you pay an extra fee for a private commission, I, the writer, may publish the work on my platforms to help show off my portfolio. If you pay for the privatization fee, then any time I use the work for my portfolio, your name will not be included, and character names, descriptions, and details will be replaced with others.

The only edits that you, the client, may make PUBLICLY to the piece after it is to edit things in the future. For example, if you change the character's name, pronouns, or something else. Anything else you change must be PRIVATE and on your own PERSONAL copy of the story.

You, the client, may not PUBLICLY edit the writing to change themes, content, characters, or try to change something in an attempt to monetize it. This is for anything, but if you edit my writing to have any form of hate or discrimination or distasteful content (e.g, pedophilia, zoophilia, etc.), you will be reported, blocked, and blacklisted.

I, the writer, am allowed to publicly edit the story in the future to help showcase my current writing style or give me more examples--this may include changing character/fandom names/details.

You may never claim anything I write or create as your own, unless you pay an extra ghostwriting fee.

My work must always have visible and legible credit, and if you post elsewhere, please make sure to link back to my Vgen profile. Crediting me is not optional and is appreciated.

Do not take or sell my commissioned work as part of a zine or any other product. Ask for permission.

If I haven't sent you a proposal, and you're currently on my waitlist or to-do list, you can cancel at any time.

Requesting refunds is only possible before you have accepted the draft in the drafting stage (see 'Writing Process' above).

Once I start writing, full refunds will only be given if I cannot fulfill the commission in any way.

Commissions that are cancelled by the customer or due to the fault of the customer (not wanting it anymore, insulting the writer or their work, ghosting, etc.) are not grounds for a refund.

I greatly prefer contact through VGen, as it allows me to see chat and commission details clearly.

You can also reach me through X or in my Discord server. As a note, please avoid personally messaging me in DMs unless I initiate. I have a ticket system on my server to speak to clients. As a client, please understand that I sometimes play video games or do other things while also having commissions. This is how I enjoy myself outside of my work. I promise your commission will be done; I have never delivered late.

You can also try my email, [email protected], though other modes of communication are better for shorter conversations and speedier replies.

I will reach out multiple times throughout the writing process (as explained above). If you, the client, do not respond, your commission may be put on 'hold' until I get a reply. Any days that pass while I wait to hear back from you do not count towards my delivery time.

If I do not get a response from you after a week or so, I will send another message letting you know that, to follow my TOS and meet the delivery date, I will be finishing the piece. At this point, only minor revisions will be allowed.
