This is the writing section of the shop! Here, I will write stories or descriptions for you, as long as they follow these requirements:
1. Appropriate (PG)
2. Has My Approval (the due date is reachable, etc.)
ALSO PLEASE NOTE: Anything I give you is my work, and I put a load of time and effort into it. Please give me credit if you share my work with anyone else. This also includes if you write a story based off of an Idea I gave you.
My Services ~
~ Brainstorms/Ideas~ This is where you tell me about your characters, and I figure out what would be a good story for them. I don’t write it; I simply point out what could happen in the story.
~ Descriptions~ You give me the character, and I write a mini-story about them, throughout which the character is described both in appearance and personality.
~ Short Stories~ I write you a story!

Ideas have three levels:
Level one ~ This is where I simply state what the main problem of the story is, like a little synopsis.
Level two ~ Here, I give main events that could happen, leading up to the problem, and leading up to the story’s close.
Level three ~ Here, I give ideas of twists and turns you could put in the story (i.e. in level two, I said Chorus escapes safely with the package; in level three, I might add that she might not escape, but is caught on the way out, which leads to a plethora of other events.)

I am working on getting samples for Ideas! Sorry for the wait!

aaHe paced restlessly. Guarding the base was no new task for Luyan Star, but when any battle now could the one that ended the war and chose a winner, he wanted to be in the action. His long, ice-blue staff rapped on the floor as he turned a corner. The halls were silent and ominous. It was when he turned another corner that the comm. clip in his ear spat out static and a garbled voice called his name. It was the commander. He needed a wizard without delay. A darkness spell, he explained, had encircled the armies, and none of the less-experienced spellcasters could bring it off. Luyan grinned and pressed a finger to the device clipped to his ear. “On my way.”
aaThe wizard sped up his pace and made his way to his room. In less of a hurry than he probably should have been, he grabbed up his thick, jet-black cloak and wrapped it about himself, the silver buttons shining like stars against the dark fabric. In the hallway again, he didn’t bother to tap the ground with his ice-staff every step, the only sound being the light thuds of his black-leather shoots as he broke into a run. His strides were long and timed, keeping his energy preserved, but a touch a magic increased the distance each step took him. Quickly, he arrived outside in the chilled night air.
aa He pulled on thin-but-warm charcoal-colored gloves to protect his hands from the biting chill as he gazed into the distance. An enormous black lump spanned across the horizon. It must have been miles across, an immense bubble of magic cutting off anything within from the rest of the world. But from such a distance, it could have been but a lone cloud in the night sky. Luyan knew better.
aaNow he broke into a sprint, each step taking him a mile away from base. The mass rose and expanded as it drew closer and closer. Luyan continued full-on, unafraid of plummeting into the shadow magic which could easily tear a mortal’s soul from its body. He had done so countless times, surrounding himself with protective light magic. Most wizards would call it stupid. He preferred to call it reckless creativity.
aaSo in he plunged. The mingling light and dark magic shrieked and screamed. No doubt the members of both armies were confused as to the source of the shrill sound. Luyan felt the dark magic give and instantly forced his light magic to spread. Little by little, the evil magic shrank back, and the light magic grew. Slowly, the shriek died down, then disappeared altogether as the last of the bubble vanished, revealing the army of Ryhul.
aaIt so happened that Luyan had risen several feet off the ground, so anyone looking would see that it was he, the wizard wielding reckless creativity, who had fought back the isolating bubble. He landed with a thump, sending up a cloud of dust. By now, the Pythin army had seen that their tactic had failed and had left the scene. The ground was trampled from the many thousands of feet. Luyan gazed off to the direction in which he knew the opposing army had fled. There was little pride in removing the wall of shadow magic. He had done it plenty of times before.
aaWithout waiting for word from the commanders, Luyan spun about and headed back to base, his staff making scuffing sounds against the sand with each step. To base where he would rest and ready himself to do the same thing tomorrow.

~ Stories ~
Short -- Guaranteed 3,000 words – 3k
Rather Short -- Guaranteed 4,000 words – 4.5k
Normal -- Guaranteed 5,000 words – 6k
Rather Long -- Guaranteed 7,000 words – 9k
Long -- Guaranteed 9,000 words – 11k
Note: If you would like to set a maximum word length, it costs no extra. I am most used to writing short stories around 5,000 words, hence the name ‘Normal’. Normal is probably where you will get my best work.
Also Note: My best writing is fantasy. I forewarn that I am not very good at realistic writing, but I'm willing to try my hand at it. Realistic and mystery story orders may take longer!
Elements –
If you want any of these to be true with your story, please add its price to the overall price.
No magic – add 3k
Fan-fiction – add 2k – I’m very picky about this. If I haven’t read/seen it before, I most likely won’t do it unless you agree to give me descriptive details about the characters and settings. If you are ordering a fan-fic, please describe the details you want kept in the ‘Anything Else I Should Know’ portion of the story order form.
Mystery – add 3k (if there is a mystery, I will think and toil on it, but honestly: I’m still not very good at writing such)
I must stick to your own characters – add 0.5k (in other words, I can’t create any characters for the story)

Setting a Due Date: Add 500 gold if you want to set a due date, but I have a right to label your date as impossible (write a realistic story in two days), in which case I turn your offer down.
Setting a Length Requirement:
Stories: For every thousand words above 9,000, add 3k (i.e. an 10,000-word story would cost 11k.) I do not write stories with more than 13,000 words. If the story I write is less than the word limit, you get 1k gold back.
Descriptions: Descriptions are guaranteed at least 500 words. For every 100 words you want added on, add 100 gold to the price. I won’t do descriptions of more than 1,000 words.
