General Guidelines

Welcome to #Writing-Commissions!


We are a group that is focused on advertising writers who are offering commissions. If you are an artist, there are many other commission groups for you to join, but I'm afraid this isn't one of them. It seems that many commission groups out there do not accept writing commissions, which is a shame because writing is just as good as art. Here at #Writing-Commissions, we hope that many writers will join and spread the word that writing commissions are just as good as art!

Guidelines


:bulletblue: In order to become a member of this group, you must be offering writing commissions. In your join request, please provide a link to your deviation or journal with your commissions sheet. Anyone who requests to join the group, but not providing their commission sheet, will be denied.

:bulletblue: Those who are looking to commission a writer must watch this group. Once we get up and running, our blog will be updated weekly with writers offering money, point, or both types of commissions.

:bulletblue: You are welcome to post your commission information in the comments, but you are more likely to get noticed if you become featured. Please read below on how to become featured in the weekly blog entries.

:bulletblue: In order to become featured, send a note to the group with your commission information and any other information you want in the feature. The default feature time is one week. If you wish to be featured for an additional week, 10 deviantART points are required to be donated. You may donate the points to my account (=KaixChan). In your donation message, you must put "Feature for an additional week". Every extra week costs 5 additional points.
Ex. If you wanted to be featured for two extra weeks, it would cost 15 deviantART points.

:bulletblue: If you have an emergency situation, you do not need to pay in order to be featured for the additional week(s). In your note, explain your emergency situation. You will be featured in the weekly feature blog entries until your emergency situation is over.

:bulletblue: You may post your casual writings here, but you must submit them to the "Casual Writing" folder.

:bulletblue: No writer will be banned permanently from the group. This is because I believe there are no other groups that focus on writing commissions, and I do not want to give any writer the ban hammer to the one writing focused commission group. However, if you are rude or disrespectful to the other members, you will be banned.

:bulletblue: As long as you are offering writing commissions, you are allowed to join the group. Ex. You're offering art commissions as well as writing commissions. However, all you are allowed to post are your writings.

If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for the group, send us a note! It will be responded to as soon as possible.

Enjoy your stay at #Writing-Commissions!

    Submitted a deviation on February 25th, 2013
Our first feature will happen from February 1st to February 8th. Including myself, we have received four people who would like to be featured. I will have to clear things up with some with what they would like written and such, so until then, have a writing challenge to appease you!

The first writing challenge is officially over. No more submissions for the first writing challenge will be accepted.

Bi-Weekly Writing Challenge #2 is...


Use up to two objects around you as a prompt and see what you come up with!

Le Rules


:bulletblue: What you use as your prompts must be inanimate objects.
Ex. A television, a book, a gaming system, a dresser, a mirror, etc, etc.

:bulletblue: You can write about what you think of them or you can write them as animated objects.
Ex. "The mirror across from me is stained with particles of dirt and dust over the years. It's hard to see myself in it at times."

:bulletblue: This particular writing challenge continues until the next journal entry I write that states it has ended.

:bulletblue: You may submit up to two (2) entries per day for this particular challenge.

:bulletblue: There is no limit on word length. You can write a little drabble or a short story; all is accepted.

:bulletblue: When you submit your writing challenge to the group, please state that you have written it for #Writing-Commissions' in your description.
Ex. "This piece was written for #Writing-Commissions' Bi-Weekly Writing Challenge #2."

:bulletblue: You do not have to be a member to submit to the writing challenges folder. However, non members have a limit of one (1) submission per day.

:bulletblue: Have fun!

Group Info

I was unable to find any groups that had a sole focus on writing commissions, and it seems that many commission groups focus on solely art. With these two things in mind, I created #Writing-Commissions. We are a group whose focus is to advertise writers who are offering commissions of all kinds. Offering FanFiction commissions? You're welcome to join! Original Fiction? Click that join button and come on in!

PLEASE provide your commission sheet when you request to join! This can be either a journal entry, a deviation, or on your main page. If you do not, you will be automatically denied.

If you are looking for a writer to commission, please watch this group. Those who ask to join and are not offering writing commissions will be denied. Thank you!

Another suggestion is maybe having a folder for commission requests. That way if anyone wants to commission instead of having to ask five different writers if they do x,y, and z, which might be obscure things that don't usually make it on a commission sheet, they can just post one request sheet with what they want and their price range. I think it would bring in more people looking to commission.

Interesting idea, although that folder would have be for non members since only people offering commissions are allowed to join the group. I'll definitely keep it in mind, thanks for the suggestion! C:

Addendum: Perhaps, instead of having a folder for commission requests you could put them in the favorites. That way you wouldn't have to change your rules, but could still advertise to people who want to commission for literature. Assuming, of course, that I'm not completely off the mark and things from non-members can go into the favorites.

I like this. You could do month commission challeges to help writers improve on they writing.

That sounds like a great idea. Once we have a few members, I'll have to make sure this happens. Thanks for the suggestion!
