Poetry or fiction: Fiction
Characters (personality/descriptions): Asterix and Obelix
Setting (time/place): These are two characters from childrens comics I have both pets so I would like a mini story of an adventure split into two between their profiles with one told from each perspective. Let me know if you know them first xD.
Target word count: Anywhere 500 upwards.
Can I link to the piece as an example [y/n]?: yes~

Poetry or fiction: Poetry or fiction, whichever you find works easier.
Characters (personality/descriptions): Stationary
Setting (time/place): Modern day, a person sitting in their study surrounded by stationary etc and thinking to themselves how people have forgotten the tradition of writing letters. Sad because he loves the whole experience.
Target word count: 500 upwards/less if poetry.
Can I link to the piece as an example [y/n]?: yes

Poetry or fiction: Fiction
Characters (personality/descriptions): Gerudo - another one sorttt of dependant on you knowing a little bit about them xD If you have played Zelda: Orcarina of Time you know who the gerudos are.
Setting (time/place): let me know if you know them~

Hello! Thanks for stopping in.

Unfortunately, I've never heard of the comic and I don't think I could do it justice without having read/watched it before.

The second and third requests I can definitely do, however. c: I have played Zelda, although not recently. Still, I think I've got enough of a background on the Gerudo to do a story involving one (or more) of them.

Because I can't reping you in the same post:

@Shakespeare
soooooo I need two more pet stories and you did such a good job before that I thought Id check in with you first If you don't want to do one or the other or both just lemme know no hard feelings I don't have as much for you to go off of with these two.

Poetry or fiction: Fiction
If poetry, specific form (sonnet, vilanelle, free form, etc)?: NA
Characters (personality/descriptions): Iguenta. Quiet and brooding. She was abandoned in the pound before being adopted and taken to the sea witch to be transformed. While in the pound she took refuge from the world in stories. She loves reading especially adventure stores. While she is quiet and keeps to her self she is fiercely protective of her family especially her little sister Symphonie.
Setting (time/place): Subeta present-ish day
Target word count: 400-1000 preferably 500-1000 but I am not giving you much info to start with so whatever you can do would work.
Other information:
Can I link to the piece as an example [y/n]?: Yep

Poetry or fiction: Fiction
If poetry, specific form (sonnet, vilanelle, free form, etc)?:
Characters (personality/descriptions): Lilliea. (she's my battle pet and as such I'v thought the least about her story =( sorry) Strong. If she were a human she'd prob be like Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She trains every day and gets her siblings and friends out of scrapes more often than not. She reads but not like Iguenta. Never for fun. Every line she reads she files away for use in battle.While she is very strong both emotionally and physically she is NOT the biggest kid on the block and Iguenta often has to intervene to talk her way out of fights where she would clearly be killed. She also has a small dog type minion named Dagor.
Setting (time/place): subeta present day
Target word count: same as previous 400-1000 but I know Im not giving you much to work with so whatever you can come up with I will be happy.
Other information: Don't really have any but if you have any questions on either id be able to answer them
Can I link to the piece as an example [y/n]?: Yes

@Shakespeare

Hooray ! No worries about the first two, I don't have anything else ready for them anyway but I have Gerudo's art sitting on my laptop ready to go~

Poetry or fiction: Fiction
Characters (personality/descriptions): Gerudo - In three sections!
1 - found as a baby popoko outside the gerudo fortress. Originally the gerudos want to kill her but she is saved by their leader as she was found in The Haunted Wasteland which leads to their temple. All from the actual Gerudo's POV since the pet is just a baby at the time.
2 - Gerudo has grown to almost full size now and is fiercely proud and protective of all the Gerudos. They decide to honour her by turning her reborn. All the pets POV, description of a mini ceremony and how she feels afterwards.
3 - Gerudo is fully grown and has been chosen to guard their most precious treasure - the Ice Arrow. She is sad to leave the main fortress but understands that with the threat of Ganondorf hanging over them it has to be done. Because she is reborn she is able to destroy the ice arrow if it is him that reaches it.
Setting (time/place): The fortress xD
Target word count: Hmm probably about 1k? If you feel you're dragging scenes out though just shoot me what you have.
Can I link to the piece as an example [y/n]?: Yes!

I really like your style and it fits perfectly with a character of mine; however its a male.
I read that those would be a maybe so here's the information on him for you to check out and decide:

Username: AFI
References: HA Look Ref 1 Ref 2
Style: Chibi
Other: Could you have him holding just 1 knitting needle in whatever pose you'd like just as long as he doesn't look happy go lucky that would be great. Also the black under his eyes isn't eyeliner its actually dark circles
Can I link to the piece as an example [y/n]: Large Knitting Needle

If you need anything else let me know.

@Jessierb09
Both sound good. I'll let you know if I have any questions.

@flux
Just want to double check a few things to make sure I get it right:
1. The pet's name is Gerudo & is called Gerudo by others.
2. Is the structure of the first section from the gerudos' point of view, NOT the pet's?
3. For the 2nd & 3rd sections, do you want it third person including the pet's thoughts/feelings, or first person?

@AFI
I'll certainly try! If it doesn't come out very good though, I won't ask you to pay, so no worries.

Yes the pet is called Gerudo Sorry I overlooked how sort-of weird that is. Um, perhaps you could tie it into the leader saving her somehow? That she comes from the spirits of their people so she shall be named after them idk. The first section is with the Gerudo people talking yes As for points of view, you can work in whichever you feel most comfortable! I'm not going to be mega fussy with either of these stories, if you have anything extra you want to add in, write the timeskips backwards or whatever - just go for it

@flux

No problem. Actually, I've got a pretty good idea how to work it in; I just wanted to make sure that's what you wanted. I should hopefully have an update on your stories soon!

---

I've got your first story done. Let me know if you'd like anything changed or expanded upon. I'd be happy to do any tweaks if I left out any details or didn't focus enough/focused too much on one thing. I've also done a poem for you, free of charge! You're welcome to use both as you like.

Ohhh I love it, thank you ! And thank you so much for the poem, that was very sweet, I'll definitely include it on the profile as well! One tiny thing about the story since I'm not sure if you want me to edit anything, the pet's character is a pet and I realised I 100% derped when I wrote out the description as person haha. Would you be happy for me to change the bits that say 'the man' into 'the pet' or 'Stationary'? You don't need to edit it since it's totally my fault and it will only take me like 2 mins =3.

Would you like me to pay for this now or once both stories are done~?

Ah, no problem! I went ahead and edited it anyways (the link should have updated automatically), but you're free to tweak it or fix any that I might have missed. In that case, would you also like me to change 'fingers' to paws or something else more anatomically correct for the pet or just leave it as is?

You can pay when they're both done~

@Squiby

Gerudo
It's longer than 1k (more around 1.5k), so if you'd like me to cut it down, I can. The first section is about 200 words longer than the other two, so I can condense it and make it more concise, if you'd like the three sections to be more similar in length. As always, let me know if there's anything you'd like changed or fixed!

@Jessierb09
Glad you like it! The final word count was 689. You can pay when I finish your next story. c:

I honestly smiled soooo many times while reading this, you did it just how I'd imagined ! Do I have permission to edit it? There are just tiny spelling and grammar bits I spotted in a few places and it's far faster for me to just do it as I read through again =) Also the bit at the end - the Ice Arrow is actually hidden within the Gerudo's training rooms so I'd need to just chuck that in and then keep the last few sentences if that's alright ? Unless you remember where it is and want to change it yourself.

And do you have a trade so I can pay you for both stories now~ Thank you so much!

@Shakespeare

Characters (personality/descriptions): Volume. She's my darkmatter clawsion. Ref is here. She's an extremely upbeat and bouncy person considering she was born def. Her only means of communication is either through sign language or music/if someone sings to her. Songs are the only way she can hear.
Setting (time/place): Subeta (random forest?) and curent time, some in the past.
Target word count: open, not too long not too short? Good for a pet page!
Other information:

Basically looking for it to be a bit of a bio/past for her pet page. Volume was born into a colony where other pets relied on the land and their own hunting skills to survive. But, being born def, she was at an awful advantage. All throughout her life, Volume had to sit back helplessly as others were forced to pick up her slack. Unable to aid in anything much to her dismay. She continued life this way until one day, she decided enough was enough and chose to abandon her family and her way of life by running away and attempting to find herself a new life. She was miserable at first, lost, hungry, and confused. Intil one day she heard someone singing a sad tune. That's when she first met Rotary. She was all too thrilled to be able to communicate with the Kumos. FInding she too had left home and had stumbled upon a small group pets whom had shared a similar life and fate. Rotary instantly bonded with the young clawsion and invited her to join their vagabond group. To where Volume still resides today.

Here is the story. I wasn't quite sure if she would still be able to hear if someone was singing the words to her, even if it wasn't actually a /song/ per say, so if you'd like that changed I'd be happy to! Let me know if there is anything else you'd like edited as well. c:

@not_done_baking

I do have an idea for a story; how long of a story were you looking for (as that would determine the price)? Also, did you want a more happy ending, or not? I was thinking something less-happy, but I do know of a way to turn it happy at the end as well.

Well, the price really isn't that important to me. So if you want, you can just start writing and let me know in the end how much it costs.
Hmm, I think a less happy ending would be great and very fitting with her little background story.

I'm glad you already have an idea for her!

What do you think about this?* I can certainly expand upon anything you'd like, make any changes, or include any extra details so just let me know! Or, if I took it in a glaringly different direction than what you were hoping, I can rewrite it with your input on this. c:

* Note: it doesn't show italics, so I used sCode for italics where I thought it'd make sense for it to be in italics or a different color.
