(no subject)

As you know, Bob, recently I've started taking commissions, and you may have noticed a few of my recent fics are outside my usual wheelhouse. Which is good for a writer, I think--as much as some people might like me to write nothing but Swan Queen all day, weird sex fanfics make the internet go round. It's sort of like if someone nuked a fic exchange and a kink meme in a microwave together, and I'm sure Warren Ellis is kicking himself for not coming up with it before it actually happened. Take that, futurism! But if you're like me, I have to think you'd be interested in the specifics: what exactly people would pay to have written for them, how I interpret their requests into something that's fun and interesting both to write and read, etc. So I asked one of my clients if I could give you some behind-the-scenes details on this stuff, so you can see how a commission goes from thirty dollars to AO3. I'd strongly urge you to just click the links and read the stories before you get into the director's commentary stuff.
