Commissions are now up at the website. Getting everything into one place is already making me feel happier, so now all I need to do is make some income from it.

One thing I'm going to do in the next couple of days is post a request for some random numbers, because I have a lot I want to do and seem to be incapable of focusing on one thing at a time. Some of it will be new work and some of it will be old work that needs completing. Everything, when it's done, will be posted at the website - at least until the time comes when there's a threshold put in place for EU VAT.

I also need some world building help if anyone is interested. Send me a PM or an email kayleigh.a.webb[at]gmail[dot]com for more information.

May I ask how commissions work? I've tried (and failed) to get some in on fanfic, but I'm unsure how originals would work?

For me, as I don't know how anyone else does it, commissions are simple enough - I'm open to anyone asking for anything set in one of my worlds, so stories about favourite characters, or favourite races, or even a surprise story. I'll take the Donor House as an example, which is one of my reader's favourites. Someone could ask for a 5000 word story about Nick and Alice. Or about Alice and Blake. Or about Alice and a new donor. Then I'll write it for them, send it to them, and it will be theirs exclusively for a month. After that I'll post it up on the website for everyone to see and add it to the Collection Ebook.

I offer single stories, trilogies, and bundles. When I get sorted out I'm going to be offering my character adoptions and setting rentals, which I created so someone can get three months worth of stories about one character or one setting.

Is there anything else you want to know?

ahhh, that makes sense. I understand now and I think that's the only question that I have right now. Thank you, again.

As someone who is really just piddling at writing currently, I'm always sort of paying attention to what established authors do in my circle. I'm in the odd predicament of having to dig myself out of a financial hole I've put myself in, so I'm stuck doing hard time at a tech job while I try to whittle out the time to write. I'd love to just go in whole hog, but I have a fairly high income requirement. Though the wife and I could scale back our lifestyle pretty substantially, I'm not at the point where we want to yet.
