Lyssa's Commissions

Thank you for showing interest in my commissions! Please check my Terms of Service for what I will and will not write, and for any additional questions, check my FAQ or reach out to me via email at [email protected]

Pricing

Pricing is determined by the length of the commission in word count. A price quote will be generated once the commission terms have been decided, though the final payment amount may differ depending on the project's final word count upon completion. Quotes will be generated based on a word count spectrum, with a lowest potential price and highest potential price included. If the final product exceeds the highest potential word count at any point during drafting or editing, the commissioner can request that the piece be cut down to the original proposed word count bracket, or the commission can be renegotiated.Final cost will automatically include a 3% fee to cover PayPal deductions. If the commissioner is in a country that PayPal does not support and a different payment method is negotiated, this fee may be removed or changed depending on the payment service chosen.

Terms of Service

As the writer, I reserve the right to deny any commission for any reason and at any time. Reasons I may deny a commission may include but are not limited to: including themes or elements that I will not write in accordance with the list below, harassment or other unfriendly behavior toward myself or others, failure to pay, failure to communicate, hate speech, racism, transphobia, homophobia, etc.At any point in the writing process, the commissioner may request changes to be made to the work's outline or draft within reason. Once the outline has been completed, the commissioner will have the opportunity to approve it and request additional tweaks or changes before drafting begins. Changes made during the drafting process that will require a large portion of the draft to be reworked or rewritten may incur additional fees at my discretion. Please be as specific as possible during the outlining process to ensure the commission is written the way you would like it in the most efficient way.An individual timetable for commissions will be negotiated once the commission has been formally accepted. The time needed to complete the commission will differ depending on the length of the commission and any research that may need to be done on the work's themes, characters, or subject matter. Please expect for any given commission to take at least 6-8 weeks or longer to complete.I reserve the sole right to the work. Commissions written by me are not for commercial use, and the commissioner does not have the right to repost any commissioned work for personal gain or profit without explicit permission.By default, commissions will be posted to my personal AO3 account after a one week exclusivity period. If the work is commissioned as a gift or if the commissioner would prefer the work not be posted publicly, this may be requested before the commission terms are settled at no additional cost.Half of the quoted commission price is required to be paid before outlining can start, which will constitute half of the maximum possible cost of the commission. A cancelled commission may be refunded up until the outlining stage begins, after which a refund will no longer be available for the first half paid. The remaining half of the commission's cost will be required upon completion of the commission and is not refundable.All payments must be made via Paypal and will be requested by me using an invoice. If Paypal is not available in your country, please reach out to me via email and we can discuss potential other options for payment. Any transfer fees associated with replacement payment methods will be included in the commission's final price. By default, invoices are due within 15 days from when they are sent, which will be reflected on the invoices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you write (x concept here)?

If you are unsure whether or not I will agree to write a certain concept, ship, character, etc. please feel free to reach out to me on twitter or via my email to ask! Please know that these requests are made in confidence and treated respectfully regardless of the contents.

Can I request a longer exclusivity period on my commission?

Absolutely! If you would like me to keep the commission private for longer than the default week, this can be requested at any time during the negotiation of the commission for no cost. You can also request that the commission never be publicly posted.

Can I pay in installments instead of in two chunks?

I prefer to receive my commission payments up front and in the full requested amounts, but I am open to discussing potential other options depending on the circumstances. Please reach out to me via DMs or email to discuss further.

Do you have any examples of finished commissions?

You can find a repository of all my finished commissions in this collection on my AO3 account!

Can I come with a prewritten outline, concept art, or other reference material?

Yes you can! The more information about the commission you can give me, the better.
