Thank you so much to everyone for helping me to come this far and continuing to support me ^-^
Please read through this journal if you would like to commission me~

IMPORTANT: If you contact me regarding a commission, you are bound by these rules, regardless of whether I ask you to confirm that you've read/agreed to them or not. It is your responsibility to read them and agree to them, as all my current commission links lead to this journal and this warning, so make sure you read this journal properly and understand it clearly before you message me. If you commission me I will assume you have read and agreed to these terms.

DISCLAIMER: With regards to pieces about established properties, fandoms etc. I do not own these properties, I am simply producing fan works based on or inspired by them. 

If you have any questions or issues feel free to contact me either via Private Messaging on DeviantArt, messaging on my linked websites, or email at vanillacommissions@gmail.com. I will always do my utmost to help however I can.

Here are some samples of my work:

My prices are~

(NOTE- I will only accept points under certain circumstances, please ask before sending anything, Paypal payment is always recommended)
[You can pay in any currency, so long as it is equivalent to the prices listed here.]

100-500 Words (ficlet/very short) - $15.00
♥ 500-1000 Words (short) - $15.00+
♥ 1000-3000 Words (average size of a one-shot) - $30.00+
♥ 3000-5000 Words (chapter length) - $90.00+
♥ 5000-10000 Words (multi-chapter/ medium) - $150.00+
♥ 10000+ Words (multi-chapter/large) - $300.00+

Please note that prices may change due to higher demand and such, but are always discussed with the buyer before payment

♡ These are base prices, as indicated by the '+'. Tiers start at the price listed, and increase to a maximum of the base price for the next one up. Prices may vary depending on how close you want to go to the maximum (e.g. you'll get closer to 3000 words for $90.00, and closer to 5000 for $150.00. If you want the maximum number of words, you'll never be charged more than the base price of the next tier)

I’m more than happy to do multi-chaptered behemoths, so long as you’re willing to pay for it. Chapters average around 3000-5000 words ($90.00+) with me so if you wanted, for example, a 5 chapter story, it would cost you $450.00. That could be almost 20000 words, so prices will extend above $300.00 in such cases

In the case of negotiable prices, for 10000+ words, these will be discussed in private. I thoroughly enjoy writing, and it is in no way a chore, but at that length, time and effort do need to be taken into consideration

~Extra Charges~

Smut - $7.00

♡ There is a small extra charge for smut. As a general rule, if you're happy to pay the charge then I'll be happy to write it for you.


♡ When I say smut, I don’t mean a bit of kissing or touching (romantic fluff), but rather themes of a properly sexual nature. If your proposed plot contains mature content then you'll be charged extra.

♡ You can be open with me about what you want, I won't judge, but bear in mind that I reserve the right to refuse if I'm not comfortable with it.

~Terms of Payment~

♡ Email me at vanillacommissions@gmail.com with your details, and I'll send you an invoice.
♡ I do ask for up-front payment. 
♡ Currently, I do not charge extra for currency conversion or Paypal fees.
♡ It is your responsibility to ensure that you are allowed to own and use a Paypal account (this can be dependent upon age, etc.). The Privacy Policy is according to Paypal's own Privacy Policy.

~Regarding Refunds and Issues~

♡ If you are dissatisfied with the partial/finished product, we can arrange for a limited number of adjustments to be made free of charge (any more and further payment would be required). 

♡ Refunds are not offered, so please make sure you are happy to commit prior to paying the invoice. If you have any issues, please contact me first, do NOT open a case with Paypal. I will be more than happy to address things as best I can, but please have the courtesy to speak with me beforehand and allow me to sort things out for you. 

♡ If a customer is ever extremely unreasonable or acts wholly inappropriately without justification, this can dictate whether I choose to send the final (or even partial) piece even if paid for and requested, and whether I allow that content to be used in any regard or revoke those rights (which I am free to do so at any time- with regard to any associated rights too). This would only be in extreme circumstances. If you want to stop a commission early even according to these rules I can do so, and will send you what has been written so far, but I reserve the right to not send any content paid for if I have been treated inappropriately, rudely, etc., and you will not receive money back unless in extreme circumstances.

♡ The same rules for a finished commission apply to partially completed commissions too, e.g. asking for permission before use or uploading, etc. By reading and agreeing to adhere to the contents of this journal you are agreeing to the terms here and throughout, and that any refund request will not be fulfilled and cannot be pursued. In short, once you pay you're committed.

♡ As a writer, I can only work with what information you give me, so please be clear about what you would like ^-^ It is important that you make sure you tell me everything you want to be written before I get started. Once I begin writing I will not make sudden changes or revisions unless I personally decide to allow it. This is dependent upon what is requested, how much has already been written, etc. etc.

♡ Although I will maintain regular correspondence (barring anything unforeseen), repeated messaging is discouraged and will possibly be ignored if it is too persistent (namely if I have already asked for you to refrain from it). Bear in mind that while I try to work in a timely fashion, I don't ever want to rush pieces for people. Please be patient, you will receive your commission when it's ready :)

♡ I reserve the right to refuse working on a piece, refuse sending a piece, refuse a refund, refuse contact with the commissioner, etc. if difficulties arise or if I feel I am being mistreated by the commissioner, or for any reason, etc.. In these cases, appropriate actions would be taken depending on the circumstances. 

♡ Don't be afraid to be honest with me if you have any problems! I am always open to suggestions and improvements, and I strive to do my best for all my customers :)

~Terms of Receipt~

♥ I can either upload the finished work to a site of your choice (e.g. DeviantArt, Fanfiction.net) or email you a copy, or both. Please tell me which option you would prefer when submitting your form. Whether I upload it publicly depends on the type of work and content of it.

♥ It is your responsibility to hold onto the commission and keep it safe once you receive it. I can't guarantee I'll be able to send another copy if you lose it.

♥ If you are going to share my work anywhere or with anyone, you must ask for permission first, and make sure that you credit me as the original writer unless explicitly stated otherwise by myself. I do commissions, not ghostwriting! Also, although a small amount of smut is fine, it is unlikely that I will permit any works with explicit content to be uploaded publicly, purely because I want to keep my work as accessible as possible. Again, permission must be granted in all cases. If my name is attached without permission, or if I wish to remove it, etc. you must comply with my wishes or I will revoke the right to use the content.

♥ You may not plagiarize any of my work and must credit me if you create or upload anything inspired by it. Appropriate actions will be taken otherwise.

♥ Only the commissioner (with permission) and anyone else who I have allowed, can own/share/use the piece written, and as stated you must ask before sharing or using it. This applies both online and offline/in private circumstances. You are only permitted to do so if I give consent, which can also be revoked at any time.

♥ Unless I give express permission for you or someone else to do so, I am the only one who is allowed to modify or edit the piece, regardless of whether it's being uploaded/publicized or not, and this permission can be revoked at any time. Bear in mind that if you have something you want to be changed I can do a certain number of revisions for you, and more than that if you pay extra.

♥ In all cases, I reserve the right to deny something being uploaded, shared or used, and to have a piece taken down from a site if I so choose. I can revoke any content of mine being used at any time, regardless of how it is being used (commercially, privately, etc.). I also reserve the right to upload/share/use any commissions I've written as I personally wish, provided that the commission hasn't been specifically specified as a private piece.

~Writing Commissions~

♡ I mainly do fanfic, largely because when not given a canon universe to be tethered to, my imagination runs wild, haha :P Does that mean I won't write an original story, or a story based solely on your own universe and characters? Of course not! I will happily do so, just make sure you provide enough detail.

I am happy to take on any request, but I’ve included the list below as a small sample of works I can write for. I mostly do anime/ video game related works but I am open to delving into other fandoms too. Like I just said, if you don’t see your chosen material on the list then don’t fret, simply give me a request for yours on the form and it will surely be no problem~

~Some of the fandoms I can write for (Not everything is listed so feel free to ask!)~

~How long will it take?~

♡ This will be wholly dependent on my real-life circumstances and how many commissions I have to do, but they should usually take a week maximum for 3000-5000 words, and longer if more than that. I will ensure you are kept updated on my progress. Updates, unless in certain circumstances, will involve some simple feedback on how I'm getting on and assurance of how much longer I think it will take. I will refrain from sending partially completed pieces as updates. You will receive the work when it is completed.

♡ To prevent the commissions process becoming too drawn out, if after a 1-month period I do not hear back from you regarding commission details post-payment, the commission will automatically be canceled and cannot be done unless another payment is made again. Refunds are not provided, and you will not receive your initial payment back, so please make sure to keep in contact with me so I have the information I need (the above form is usually enough), and that way I'll be able to get the commission done for you. If there are any reasons why you are not able to reply or provide information, please tell me before the 1-month period is up. Again, referring to the above details too, once the payment is sent it cannot be refunded. 

♡ If I go on hiatus/stop commissions entirely at any point, the same applies. Commissions cannot be refunded, but as far as I am able I will do my best to finish them for you prior to anything like that happening. Again please make sure you send me the details as soon as possible so I can get the work done punctually. 

♡ I don’t currently have any limit on time or the number of commissions I take.

IMPORTANT:

♥ If you have any queries please email me or message me. Sometimes messages don’t go through so email is the preferred option. This will also give us the chance to discuss final details before confirming payment. Bear in mind that you are not allowed to share or publicize any private communications through any platform, nor any of my private/business details.

♥ Through discussing commission plans, please be aware that I may raise other rules, exceptions or requests depending upon the individual case. However, the general rules have been summarized here, and I will always notify you beforehand if anything is different for your particular commission. Also, keep an eye on this journal, as I keep it updated (as indicated by the date on it). These rules/terms etc. can be subject to change, and it is your responsibility to keep up to date with them.

♥ If at any point I feel I have been treated unfairly, rules have been violated, etc. then appropriate actions will be pursued and taken. The same applies to any form of slander, lying, exposing, etc. Provided you adhere to the rules and are pleasant, we're unlikely to have any problems, and I will happily work for you :)

♥ You must read and adhere to all the rules listed in this journal if you intend to commission me, and I will assume you have done so (as stated at the start of this journal) when you commission me. If any terms/rules are broken then appropriate actions will be taken. 

♥ If you would like to commission me please message me here or email me at vanillacommissions@gmail.com ♥

IMPORTANT: If you contact me regarding a commission, you are bound by these rules, regardless of whether I ask you to confirm that you've read/agreed to them or not. It is your responsibility to read them and agree to them, as all my current commission links lead to this journal and this warning, so make sure you read this journal properly and understand it clearly before you message me. If you commission me I will assume you have read and agreed to these terms.

I appreciate all the commissions I get, so thank you! \(^-^)/
Here's some feedback I've received from happy commissioners~

Customer Testimonials

"Vanille is so much fun to work with! Characters are nailed so well in her work - whether they be from the fandom or OCs - with great attention to details. Her written descriptions, emotions and build-up to scenes are really engaging, and always exciting so you are left wanting to read more! She'll help craft a perfect story for you :)"

-CatHelsing

"Vanille's done a number of really fun stories for me. Well worth the price and one of the best writers I've seen on DA. "

-BlueMageDanny

"I'm totally yandere obsessed haha, and finding your gallery was like a dream come true. All the commissions you've done for me so far have been so amazing, they never disappoint. Also it's nice to see someone who writes as many fics about yandere guys as you do, and yet can also write fluffy, sweet romance just as brilliantly :D
I hope I can commission more and more from you, I'm always happy to support you."

-Anonymous

"Wow!! I have no words. It's splendid and fully-fleshed out! You really got to expend the characters and story much more than I could've imagined. This really exemplifies your capabilities as a storyteller, and I couldn't have asked for a better version. I applaud for everything you did, and I certainly look forward to working with you again in the future... I love what you've done with this piece. Your style certainly is a page-turner..."

-RolandLatoreSpeed

"I have so say your writings, stories are amazing! I love the way your write it's amazing and totally worth commissioning you! I'm hoping to commission you again because your art is amazing! And I mean you are so nice and easy to talk to! (which is good) But all in all your stories and the commission was the best!"

-AestheticSpaceDragon

"One of the best writer I've commished. Very dedicated with their work and also very responsive and responsible. Definitely recommend for those who wants their story being brought to life <3"

-Kulstudio

"I'll be straight honest. It's a pleasure to commission you. You're polite, very patient, your works are always a pleasure to read and they're done nicely every time. We even managed to chat a bit about movies or nerdy things, which makes it even better, at least in my opinion!"

"I did indulge this story, as I did previously with all your works.
I can't say anything bad about it. It's well written, you did a wonderful job printing on a PDF my idea, with what I dare to call professionality and passion."


-Maxmax

"Vanille is easily the best writer on DA when it comes to her quality, pricing and ease of communication. She's a wonderful person and super chill and open to ideas and constructive criticism. She's helped me with my own stories and even offers services to help aspiring writers. Definitely a 10/10 Deviant. Will continue to support her and her work through commissions."

-the-dinosaur-handler

"This wonderful girl has done a number of writings for me. All of them were wonderful and worth the money and patience to wait for them to come out. She is dedicate and hard working writer. She is nice and fun to talk to as well. You will not be disappoint if you commission her! Thanks for all the wonderful writings!"

-tani102

"Vanille is easily my favorite writer on DA, and by far the best commissions writer I've found. I don't know anyone else on the internet who is as kind, diligent or skilled as she is when it comes to writing and doing writing commissions. She takes my reader-insert ideas and makes them a reality, and I always love what I read from her. Thank you Vanille! <33"

-Anonymous

"Great stories from a great person. It was a pleasure commissioning you, as communication was not only fast and friendly but also very fun. I love what you've written for me and you're not ony one of the best writers I've read, but also one of the nicest persons. 
I commissioned my story as a client and received it as a friend. :) (Smile)


So for all seeking someone to commission a story from: I can only recommend Vanille as she's a great writer and a wonderful person"

-CynthiasMadworld

"Very friendly, easy communication, great writer. That is the best way of describing Vanille, as it was
easily one of the beste commission experiences I had. Not only did she deliver a great quality on my commission, she was also very nice to work with.
I was very impressed, how she followed my outline very closely and considered every detail, while making this outline so much richer and more interesting by not only writing it out nicely but also adding interesting thoughts and perspektives. It's a small grade, which she perfectly nailed"

-FreddyKrueger-Holmes

"After receiving an amazing commission I had ordered from Vanille, I'd like to let you know that I'm definitely happy and excited about the outcome. Before reading some of her writing I had never considered asking someone I hadn't spoken to before to write something for me as it can feel kind of private to share ideas and thoughts that usually just stay inside your head or with someone you know well and speak regularly about favourite characters and fiction, but her writing had so much that was completely fitting for what I had in mind that it wasn't difficult at all to share with her.  I look forward to order again and can only recommend her. She's really nice and a great writer. :)"

-Anonymous

"I appreciate the advice and support you've given me, as well as your RP'ing skills and attention to detail. Oh, and your kind, helpful personality and just being cool in general!"

-Drive22

"I commissioned VanillaMetal two times. I am very satisfied with how seriously she took my requests. The characters are described very precisely. She fully respects our original characters."

-MissLillyn

"I've commissioned a few fics from her now and we've agreed to share them in her gallery with me being anonymous, which is great because I'm kind of shy and she respects that, and i still get to see my fics up there. She is really respectful of what people request and also she is very sweet all the time, and professional. I was a long time lurker reading her gallery pieces, but I eventually decide to commission her and I'm so glad I did. Her reader inserts are probably the best I've read. She really writes well and I feel proud seeing my ideas brought to life."

-Anonymous

"I really enjoyed commissioning Vanille. She displayed a great deal of professionalism, understanding, and flexibility. The end result was flawless, and exceeded all expectations. 
Despite the fact that I didn't provide a lot of details/ guidance, she managed to convey through her amazing storytelling the exact messages I had in mind, and extrapolated these details to a full fledged essay.
I am extremely satisfied with the quality of her work, and looking forward commissioning her for multiple additional pieces."

-BobRossIRL

"Having the chance to work with Vanille has been the best commission experience I’ve had over the years. She is an absolute pleasure to talk to, completely friendly and open throughout the entire process. She takes the time to work with you personally, putting in the effort to bring your idea to life in a way that mirror's your expectations to the best of her ability. Vanille's ability to replicate character personalities into her stories is mind-blowing, producing fanfics that feel remarkably authentic.

Not only is she a fantastically talented writer within her comfort-zone and personal work, Vanille is tremendously versatile and brings quality to a full range of content (including niche content). Even with new and challenging themes, she takes the time to ensure the quality is up-to-par with the rest of her catalogue.

I couldn't recommend VanillaMetal enough. She is the gold-standard of when it comes to commissions."

Hi, I sent an email but realised I should probably ask here as well if you’re accepting commissions. (Sorry) I was hoping to commission a persona 5 fanfiction.
