Free Original Fiction and Divination with Tip Jar
I'm returning to college for one more semester to finish out the last two classes I'll need to finish my B.A. in History. Right now, due to not having a job (not for the lack of trying), I need money for both books and to pay for the bus I have to go on for my bi-weekly commutes to one of my classes.
So, I am going to be offering two things in order to help raise money for books and transportation costs. One of them is original fiction and the other are divination by tarot card/rune readings.
Money Earned: $38 so far
Since 30 dollars have been reached three extra prompts will be written.
Since 25 dollars have been reached one random story will be 1000+ words.
Thank you to everyone who has donated. ♥
Original Fiction
If you are interested in my original fiction or at least want to have a short piece written based on a prompt provided by you, leave three fantasy-based prompts that I can chose from and I will write one 100-500 word story based on one prompt of my choosing for each person who comments regardless if they donate or not. If a person donates/tips (it does not have to be much), I will write a story of the same length for a second prompt (also of my own choosing) as well.
Now, for this, there are perks. For every ten dollars I reach in donations, I will write a 100-500 word story based on a second prompt for a person who was not able to donate. For every 25 dollars I reach in donations, I'll expand one random story into a 1000+ word story.
When I finish writing your story, I will be posting it in this journal, but I will also reply to your comment with a link to said story. I will be posting them so they do not show up on people's reading pages (I, in all honesty, do not know how well this will work and so do not know the volume of requests I'll get).
If you are wondering why I am saying "fantasy only", this is because this is the genre I am primarily comfortable with at the moment, however, my definition of fantasy essentially is that there should be some sort of magical or supernatural component in some form in the story. If you want to see examples of my original fiction, they can either be found here on this journal or under writing elsewhere in the memories of this journal.
Divination
If you are interested in divination, I am offering either a one card drawing using my copy of the Halloween Tarot deck by Kipling West (this happens to be the tarot deck I work best with) or a one rune drawing for free to anyone who requests it. If you ask for this, please say if you want a tarot card pulled or a rune pulled for you or I will choose for you.
You can either ask for a general reading or ask a specific question.
I am also offering three card/rune drawings as well for 3 USD, in case people are interested in that as well. If you'd prefer for me to do a reading for you via PM rather than through the comments, I am fine with that too.
One thing I must say though is that I am far from a professional when it comes to doing divination and this is my first time really offering it to people other than just my friends.
General Information
Since I am offering both writing and divination, all comments will be at first screened. If the comment are just prompts, I will unscreen it. However, if there is a divination request, please tell me if you'd prefer your comment to stay screened and if you'd prefer me to answer you in a screened comment.
People can either ask for a piece of writing, divination or both if they wish. I will try and comply with divination requests as soon as I am able and the same for goes for the original fiction, though that will most likely be slower in coming. However, I promise that I will finish all requests as long as they are requested before I close my offer.
(As of right now, I do not know when this will be, but I will definitely close it by Saturday, January 7, 2012 at the latest.)
This is my first time offering free fiction and divination and also my first time having a 'tip jar' out. However, it can't hurt but try since I do need the money for my books and transportation.
If this does goes well, I may do this again in the future because I enjoy people giving me prompts to write and writing is something I definitely need to do more of.
