The Joy of Character Profile Commissions

[GearRyu]

While I am at it, here is my commission info for profile commissions.

I charge two cents per word. The profile may be of any length; you determine the maximum word count.

Payment depends on final word count. Word count is based on the number of words as defined by the default settings of Microsoft Office Word 2007, and may include meta-text, such as collapsible headers.

Final payment must be received before I will release the final draft to you. If you are not satisfied with the final draft, you may request minor alterations to the final product. Any major alterations to the final draft are at my discretion, and may require additional payment (which will be discussed before such changes are made). The difference between minor and major alterations is entirely based on my subjective opinion.

Before receiving final payment, you may elect to receive a preview of up to 10% of the maximum word count. If you are not satisfied with the preview, you may request alterations to the previewed material. Once you are satisfied with the previewed material, you must pay a down payment for the previewed material (at the standard rate of 2 cents per word) before work will continue on the rest of the profile.

The content of the profile will be based on your desires as the commissioner. As the commissioner, you control the technical constraints of the writing: you have say over what kind of material you want included or excluded from the profile. However, I, as writer, have ultimate control over the creative expression of the material you want included, and may extrapolate from your guidelines in developing more content.

Any technical constraints must be received either 1) by the time any payment is received; or 2) at a time requested by myself, as the writer - whichever comes first. This is to ensure a meeting of minds regarding the final product.
