Story Request/Commission Form

Characters

List the characters here that you would like to be included in the story. If possible, include or link their reference sheets for the author's convenience. Please offer your own original characters only, unless you have permission of another individual to use their characters alongside your own.

For every story, a character has different motivations, goals, conflicts, and epiphanies, so be sure to keep those in mind as they may play a central part to the story.

Please note that any characters related to your original characters in any way (relatives, friends, coworkers, or acquiantances) will be left to the author's discretion if their sheets are not included.

Plot

The most important thing is to give the author the main idea of how the plot should go. Please do not give out the ending or too much of the bulk of the story. Personally, I enjoy writing a story more when it can be a surprise to the client. Do let the author know how the story starts and/or what direction it is going in.

Theme

This part is optional as it is typically is incidental to the plot of the story, though not always obvious. It is a recurring idea that pops up in the story every now and then.

All I can boil this down to is: “What is the story trying to say?”

Is it telling a story? Teaching a lesson? Persuading an audience? Frightening children? Upsetting the older generation? Leading a revolution?

Ideas

Ideas are the closest things we have to magic. For a story, they can be seeds of potential or guidelines for the author to follow. In short, they are the little details that customize the story more to your liking. Not only that, they can be just about anything that has to do with the characters, the plot, or the theme.
