tl;dr: Sev needs a new computer. It's old, slow, and doesn't understand scrolling sometimes. Just today I had to restart it because the delete/backspace/arrow keys all decided to take a vacation: it's the beginning of the end.
All of the money I earn doing commissions this round will go directly to a new laptop. This'll help me write more, be more active in Discord and other places, and be much more productive with paid work. Some estimating with a friend has revealed that I can get exactly what I want for around like $700-$750, so that's my eventual target.
I still have commissions left from the first round: 3 short (which I will deliver before starting anything new) and 2 longer projects that I'll work on in the background. Apologies for taking so long, and please know I'll wrap those up before starting Round 2. I intend to deliver them by the end of the month.
Last round I took a whole number of commissions at once and overwhelmed myself, which is why I still have some to deliver here in September. This round, I'll be taking commissions in a limited queue. Once the queue is empty, I'll post again and open up another round. I'll also post periodic updates on the standing of the queue just to keep interest alive. I will also be keeping my current WIPs moving, because I also learned that I need projects of my own as well as commissions or ADHD brain will self-destruct. Basically: I will be slow and careful with your commission, and I'll deliver top quality, and you won't be getting it back in like 3 days.
Commission Notes
Details are under the cut. If you're curious, here are the works I've delivered for Round 1. My pricing structure has changed somewhat because I discovered I spent a lot of time on commissions -- I hope the work shows that. You can see the rest of my recent work here.
If commissions aren't for you right now but you want to help influence what I work on in the background, consider my Patreon -- for $5/month you get to vote (Fridays) on what project I focus on for the next week, and (if i get more followers) sneak peeks as well.
And if you're as broke as me but still want to help out, please reblog on Tumblr or Twitter, or repost whatever sassy little graphic I'll end up making for DW. Every little bit of extended audience helps!
TO COMMISSION: you may contact me on Tumblr DM, in comments here or by DW private message, by Discord PM, or by my email, seventhe(dot)net(at)gmail(dot)com. No preference; I keep a separate file.
Categories:
- Tier 1: Quick Take. Under 2000 words, $20, turnaround 1-2 weeks. Request a character, relationship, or setting. Include a brief prompt or concept. Expect a short scene, day-in-the-life, a bit of angst or fluff; a complete picture, but a small one.
- Tier 2: Study. Between 2000 and 4500 words, $35, turnaround 2-4 weeks. Request a character, relationship, or setting. Include a couple sentences on a concept or idea. Expect a collection of scenes exploring the prompt.
- Tier 3: Short Story. Between 4500 and 7000 words, $55, turnaround 4-6 weeks. This can be some small plot, a trope exploration, a piece of meta, something to focus on.
- Tier 4: Deep Dive. About 7000-10,000 words, $70, turnaround 6-8 weeks. Plot, real character examination, multiple POV if needed, added world meta, real angst, H/C, or other trope-y stuff, etc.
- Tier 5: Custom Novella. 10,000 words and up, $100 minimum, turnaround TBD. Let me write your big fanfic idea; you’ll get a full custom novella experience, once we work out details for price, wordcount, and turnaround. I absolutely love doing this kind of work, BTW. Don’t be shy.
Add on:
- 10%, and 1-2 weeks, for any fandoms in my “inactive” list; contact me to discuss, it’ll depend on just how far away the fandom is to my brain.
- $10 to upgrade it to SMUT; this upcharge is because adding porn will likely increase the wordcount of the fic, as an FYI.

OTHER/HISTORICAL FANDOMS: (Expect a 10% upcharge as well as a longer timeline for these fandoms; I’m happy to write them! But I’ve found that to get in a mindspace that works for a good fic, I have to do some research and refreshing. We can negotiate on this!)

- Continuations, sequels, or additional chapters of anything I’ve posted on AO3 -- anyone commissioning these will get 15% off since they're ongoing works!
Will Not Write:
- Hate or bashing fic. I love everyone in this bar and you should too.

- Tier 5: We can discuss schedule!
- Rush fees: I am open to being bribed with money to bump you in the queue, but we’ll have to negotiate that to be fair to everyone else
- I don’t mind if multiple people are commissioning a fic together! Grab your friends and get that rarepair novella you’ve always wanted!
Queue:
- I’m keeping a rolling queue this time, so that I don’t get too overwhelmed. That means I'll accept in the order people reply, and also the order they put their deposit down. I’ll post on DW and Tumblr as spots open.
- If you’d like to be pinged, let me know where and how, and I will ping you!
- Queue will be:
- Tiers 1 & 2: I’ll take up to 3 at a time, and I expect them to go fairly quickly.
- Tiers 3 & 4: I’ll take up to 3 at a time before closing.
- Tier 5: I will take 1 at a time so that I can definitely focus on the project.
- I’ll be updating periodically with links showing who is in the queue and what I project as the delivery date.
QUESTIONS? You can contact me at any of the places listed above, OR reply to this post (even anon, its cool, i know not everyone is on DW).
And a BIG THANKS to everyone who commissioned me last round, or donated to help me out, or helped spread the word, or supported me during word sprints, or seriously watched me write smut in a GDoc while eating popcorn and cheering, or yelled at me to make words, or sent me pictures and videos as rewards, or otherwise made me smile, laugh, or drink copiously during this time. I appreciate your patience, your fandom love, and your generosity.
NOW DO IT AGAIN IM BROKE
