Fic Commissions
I am currently offering commissions for works up to 10,000 words in length!
You'll find my AO3 account linked in the footer, feel free to browse and get a feel for my usual material and style (just bear in mind some of the work in there is over three years old).

<3k: $11/1,000 words
3k-6k: $13/1,000 words
6k-10k: $15/1,000 words
General
Will Write: General/trope-based AUs, romance for the pairings listed below, slice-of-life fic, action, horror & whump.
Won't Write: NSFW (including nonsexual Omegaverse), ships outside the listed pairings, OC-centric fic, OC/Canon, or reader/self-insert fic.
Voltron: Legendary Defender
Will Write: Worldbuilding-heavy pieces. Galra-centric fic, but I'm certainly willing to write Paladin-centric/other alien work.
AUs— canon divergence, canon'verse alternate realities, No War AUs.
Most Galra/Galra pairings, Shiro/Galra or Allura/Galra ships, Shallura, Lodak, or Shotor.
Won't Write: Demonization of Galra or Galra characters. Modern/Human AUs.
Paladin/Paladin fic (except Shallura), Galradin ships with Paladins other than Shiro or Allura. Ask about Lotura— my tastes are specific, but I'm open to the right premise.
Legend of Zelda
Will Write: Worldbuilding-heavy pieces. Canon'verse and post-canon fic for Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild. Modern AUs.
Most ships for the above games, both het and slash/femslash.
Won't Write: Villain- or ship-bashing. Fic for games other than those above. Ships for characters from games other than the above.
Editing and Beta Work
At the moment, I'm primarily offering editing for short pieces (20k or less), or for longer works still in outlining/planning phases.
Will work over email, Google Drive, discord DMs, and discord voice chat, whichever works most easily for you!
Pricing: $9/hour
Services
Line edits for spelling and grammarStructural edits for pacing and flowUnsticking a 'stuck' storyFormulating an outline.
Handbound Fiction
Ever wanted a fic bound, so you could keep a physical copy of your favorite fics or pet project on your shelf? Look no further!
Requirements: I will only bind works you have permissions to use or reformat— that is, your own work, or work the author has granted you permission to have bound.
The piece or pieces you want bound must fall between 8,000 words and 160,000 words in length. Multiple shorter pieces may be bound together in a single volume to meet wordcount, while longer works may be split across multiple volumes for ease of binding.
Options
All handbound fics will be hardcover pieces, with either hard or soft spines depending on the length of the piece (this will not alter the price). You have the option to choose between an all-cloth case— bookcloth on the spine and the cover— or a cloth spine with decorative paper covers. All-cloth options allow for decorative endpapers.
I order from Talas, a bookbinding supply store, so if you'd like a decorative paper or bookcloth color other than the ones I have on hand, let me know so I can place the order*!
At the moment, I have blue, black, and green bookcloth, and the decorative papers circled in the above image.
Prices
Labor: $14/hour. Each book takes between three and six hours of labor, from formatting to print to gluing in the text block.
