-REBRANDING MYSELF-

I was known as The Swordslinger a while ago, and got so tired of what I was doing, constantly burning myself out, that I ended up losing all inspiration for it. After a while, I got myself shackled to the Naruto franchise without any love towards it.

Deleting everything had been on my mind for years, and I am not kidding. I've actually had at some point like 5 or so years ago considered just deleting all the stories I had and moving on, disappearing and not looking back.

After years of stories without endings, forcing myself to keep up the energy, and try to appease those who hated my ideas for how I used Naruto, it just didn't make me happy at all. There was no joy and any time I attempted something new, I was going around in circles.

My main problem is that I felt trapped, like everything I did had to use Naruto not as a character but as a brand to keep readers coming.

Of course, that led to a parasitic dependence where I was just going nowhere.

Like, how many of my stories were action/adventure with comedy involving Naruto?

And I would prefer to do horror, parodies, fantasy... other types of adventures with different franchises and ideas.

Now I want to rebrand, this is not to say I won't do stories with Naruto, but I want to do new stuff, try new fandoms. There are shows I am really into right now, and I want to continue writing because I just enjoy creating stories that I can have fun reading, hopefully without The Lord Of Pages biting at my heels like the little man he is being an inch shorter than me.

Either way, yes, I will try and continue doing the commissions - I will rewrite a few if needed -, but I just needed a fresh start without a ball and chain around my ankle reminding me that I didn't finish everything.

-COMMISSION INFO-

PRICES:

-A 5k words story will be worth 10 US dollars, a 10k words story is 20 USD, 15k words would cost 30 USD, 20k words one would be 40 USD, and so on.

-Research fee is 1 dollar for chapter/episode of anything I may need to watch/read for information since reading a wiki doesn't help too much. Like, I don't have an interest in soap operas, but if you want me to use one, then it'd be a dollar per episode.

-Furry/yaoi is an extra 3 dollars per chapter.

-Massive harem fee is another 2 dollars per commissioned chapter. You can ask for it, but harems in the double digits or over 5 lovers for any kind of character is not easy to pull off while keeping a story's plot flowing naturally, so I'm charging extra.

IMPORTANT: The reason I charge so cheap is because I will take my time when writing these stories because I've got a full-time job and I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so do expect me to be a tad neurotic when trying to do your stories as best I can even if I take forever and a day to do them. So, yes, it'd be preferable if you asked for short stories if possible, but I'll still try my best with any long ones.

RULES:

1. Contact me in this site via private message.

2. Know I value my privacy so keep all info I give you about myself between us and no one else, thank you.

3. Payment first, delivery will be discussed in private, but be patient since I've got a job.

4. I will accept smut requests, but please do NOT ask me for gore, ryona (beating up women), anything involving feces or urine, bestiality, farting, diapers, vore, or death. Some items can be discussed, but if I charge extra for it, that is my way of telling you that I am not comfortable with it.

5. You may pay extra for it, but you can make requests for yaoi and furry stuff. I'm okay with yuri, though. However, as stated in the previous point, if I am not all that comfortable with a topic, you should read points 10, 11, and 12 in full detail.

6. Only the SFW stuff will be posted here, I'll keep the spicy stuff - smuts - between the commissioner and myself but said commissioner can share it if they want.

7. Remember, it's 10 US dollars for a 10k-word one-shot, 20 dollars for a 20k words one, and so on.

8. Stuff like netorare or other such mean-spirited tropes which aren't on the list of the big no-nos are up for discussion, but I can still say no if I don't feel like I could do them. For example, I could do humiliation, but not to a character who I feel does not deserve it.

9. Character bashing is a complicated subject, so here:

a) bashing is putting a character one dislikes for personal reasons in a negative light and having bad things happen to them. I get when that should happen, such as seeing a smug character steal without learning anything or facing repercussions for the crime.

b) there are times, mostly when excessive, that bashing harms the story since dedicating a section of any work to such negativity drains all fun out for me. Yes, I'm a hypocrite since I used to do it, but being mad at something isn't fun, so I try to let bygones be bygones.

c) should you request me to bash someone, know I may as well not write the character in the story or go at it with more comedic effects like, say, a thief being caught and having to work a really bad job to pay off the debt by shoveling manure or something like that.

d) don't expect me to dedicate a whole story to be negative about a character, I want to write for fun, not just venting anger I'm already too jaded to hold in my heart.

10. Respect between us will be needed, which should be self-explanatory, but if I disagree on something or am having trouble remembering something, don't rant at me, insult me, or act like I am meant to bow to your every whim. I am human, so understand I am not going to think the same way you do, and that I am not in any way, shape or form obligated to be a yes-man. You may pay for my services, but I am still the one writing the story.

11. No refunds if I am disrespected. During one particular encounter with a party which I won't name, I decided to not give refunds to anyone who lashes out at me with no good reason. For example, yelling at me for voicing that I am uncomfortable with a certain topic, disregarding my repeated statements of discomfort for said topic, or ranting at me for not enjoying or getting into something you force me to read/watch whether or not I've been paid for it.

12. Your commission will be cancelled and you will not get refunded if you repeatedly ignore my warnings and/or lash at me. Take into account this:

a) If I get insulted, we can try and talk it out. Mistakes can be made and humands tend to err a lot.

b) Should I feel the offense is serious enough, like snapping about a decision of mine due to a bad day, I shall give a warning.

c) Actual disrespect like yelling how you don't care about my opinions willl end with me just downright not allowing more commissions. You can get the ones you paid for so I don't feel like I've wasted my money, but you'd do better not talking to me further until it's your turn.

d) You will get neither your money nor your story if you commit another offense such as insulting me after a warning, and/or if you do what I warned/requested you not to do or talk about about. Basically, you get one fair warning now and maybe a second chance. If it's quite serious such as using foul language from the start for any minor disagreement, you're also out.
