Hello everyone that reads the Literature (obviously the BEST board ever!) board. So... I've found myself in an interesting quandry. I want to write, but I've run out of material or I've found that most of what I want to write about has become a chore to do. Therefore, I have two main options. I could either go into my Little Black Book and read through the mental scribbles and literary doodles that I have tucked away in there or I could use the ideas of those around me.
I thought the latter would be more fun.
So, to that effect, I will be offering writing requests. If it goes well, I may increase the work load and do writing commissions, but let's take this slowly shall we?
If you wish to have a story written by me, feel free to drop a post here describing what you desire, characters, setting, etc. The more detailed you are, the more detailed I can be without having to make things up.
If you are a member of FA, then you can also drop a request in the journal with the same purpose at the link given below.

Do you do sci-fi?
-
I certainly can. The more details you can give me, the more I can stay true to what you had imagined.
I just wish to write, so the setting and theory of the world is open.
-
I am currently writing the two stories that people have suggested through FA and doing school things. I am open to more requests and will get to them as I have them.
Don't be shy!
-
May I request you, dear Otebon?
And if yes, should I post here the details or PM you?
-
Either way is fine. Just as long as I have the details in front of me in some format, that's fine.
Heck, if you wanted to make a flash video with your notes for a story in it, that'd be hilarious and great as well! X3
-
What kind of writing do you do? Genres? What are your limitations? What are your favourite themes and which themes do you feel would challenge you more?
-
Currently, I'm just looking to write. If it's something outside my normal writing styles / genres (which I will admit I can't exactly label although historical and modern fiction major heavily alongside sci-fi and "adventure" style stories) I will do my best to complete the task.
For example, I am more used to writing adventure or philosophical stories. However, if you wished for a horror story, I will do my best and see it as a challenge to increase my repretoire, so to speak.
I guess the moral of the above is that I have no set limitations or rulings as of yet. As for what would challenge me more... I would have to offer the non-answer of "I don't know." I enjoy all themes of writing as it's more the story that entrances me, not the mode. It's the interaction, not the setting.
Feel free to ask for pretty much anything.
UPDATED:
Currently, due to a surprising number of requests within the past few hours, I have several stories to write. Here is my laundry list so that I can point to it and have something for everyone to see. It's listed by either Requests or Trades and how that request was received.
Requests:
ThisIsGabe (FA - Note)
Rigor (FA)
Puncia (PM)
Trades:
Ventus Fall (PM)
Reno (Text)
-
Here is the first request story, as asked for by a user on FA named "ThisIsGabe".
This story was requested with a specific storyline and characters in mind.

I am going to start leaving the actual texts of the stories written in another thread, here (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=21173.new#new). Enjoy!
Rigor and Puncia? I'm sorry this is taking so long. School has been dropping down on me like a hammer and I've been writing so many papers that writing for myself has become scarce. Hold on, your stories are coming!
I PROMISE! :3

Take all the time you want. You're handing out stuff for free, so there's no way we can expect anything.
-
I know you said there more descriptive the better but if I just gave you the characters, a setting and what kind of story I'd like could you take that and run with it?
-
I can take anything and build a story. But as a request, it may or may not be what you desire if you give me very little. :P
-
wooow I didn't know you did do things like this.
I almost would ask if you could writte a story but I know you have a lot to do ;)
-
Alright, an update on writing...
Current list:
Request - Rigor (forced re-write)
Request - WZ
Request - K9
There is a possible Commission that may be coming down the pipe... fingers are crossed.
Go to my Writing Thread (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=21173.new#new) if you wish to see Puncia's piece AND a Halloween piece I did while driving to a chemistry regional conference.
-
I am unable to make this work... so all literature that I will display (which is all my request, trade, and commission work with permission from purchaser) will be displayed through my FA page (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/otebon12/). I encourage you to go there, especially as I have posted a few more stories.
Happy reading!

Hello Otebon,
Would you be interested in another trade?
-
Hey Ventus.
I have not forgotten you, I swear. I have been having family issues and my writing has fallen WAY behind. Honestly, right now, I need to catch up. I could have sworn I sent you a PM, but I guess my school's terrible internet ate it. :/
I would love a second trade, but it won't be for a while... I'm sorry.
-
Hey Otebon,
It's alright, take your time and finish the others ones before taking on another one :)
Just tell me when you're available again and we cna talk about it.
Sorry to hear about the family issues, I hope things will get better soon.
