I am a writer of 30 years, with over 15 novels published in a variety of genre, none rated below 4 stars.
How to contact me
the most reliable way is email. [email protected]. it is not the fastest as I do not check email while at work
You can find me on BlueSky, @thetigerwrites. also not something I check while working
on Discord, Kindar. This is the quickest way to get me to respond as it is always running, but, be explicit about why you are contacting me as there is an abundance of scam bots there
on Twitch on weekdays, 8am till 3:30pm EST, https://www.twitch.tv/thetigerwrites. While I will engage in conversation and answer questions, keep in mind that I am officially working while on stream.

Here is how I work.
My rate is $250usd.
That gives you a 2.5 hour writing block dedicated to your commission. That gives roughly 2000 words, which is what I consider a chapter. The more work I have to do to figure out the story and characters, the lower the word count will be.
Payment is handled through Stripes
If you want to book a block for consultation to get assistance with figuring out the structure of the story you want. The rate is the same.
The writing will take place on stream (https://www.twitch.tv/thetigerwrites) as well as on my discord if you can’t join Twitch. I encourage you to be present if possible, I have some flexibility on the days the block can be yours. Explicit or borderline explicit sex will be blurred on Twitch, but not my discord
Payment for a writing block is half up front, minimum of 2 days before the block is scheduled to be yours, and the other half on delivery of the chapter. For the first chapter I write for you, if you are not satisfied with the result, the first half will be refunded. For any subsequent chapters, it will only be refunded if I am unable to deliver the chapter.
Payment for a consultation block is paid upfront in totality
Once you have made the final payment for a chapter, it becomes yours to do as you see fit. use of my characters who appear within the chapter is permitted, but only within the chapter itself. I retain the right to use excerpt of the chapter as part of my portfolio to give example of my work.
I have 2 slots per week available. I only schedule one slot per client at a time, but priority will be given to clients who have me write an ongoing story. Consult the schedule to see when the next slot are open (Schedule)
While I am willing to do minor adjustments to a chapter I have written, major rewrites will require commissioning a new block, that is why you need to pay attention to the next section.
What I expect you to bring to the process.
the information sheet to be completed is here: Commission information sheet
First and foremost, a story. It can be a scene, or something more elaborate, but know what you want me to write. While I appreciate the intent behind giving me money to “write whatever I want to write,” I already do that for a living. This is about giving you the chance to have your story written.
The needed information about the characters you want appearing. If these include characters that are neither mine nor yours, it is your responsibility to obtain permission to use them, if required. As a rule, characters in the general media can be used for fan fiction without needing permission so long as there is no intent to monetize the final product.
Enough information about the scene/chapter for me to write it. Time I have to spend working out what takes place is time I can’t be writing.
Things to keep in mind as part of the process.
I will make suggestions if I don’t think something ‘works’. That is all they are. You are the final arbiter of what goes in your story, not me. Never accept one of my suggestion simply because I am the one who makes it. My experience doesn’t mean I know your story better than you do.
I will ask for clarifications. That doesn’t mean I don’t think what you are asking for works/is good. Just that I am unclear as to your intent. I can’t write it the way you want if I don’t understand what you want to happen.
I might ask “are you sure?” that is not a judgment on what you want me to write, just me seeking confirmation it is what you want written.
What I won’t include in my writing.
- Scat, watersports(piss play). Blood as it relates to sex. (I have some flexibility here, but I will refuse to make blood central to the sex happening) Underage sex.
- Women in sexual situations. I have zero experience with women, so I am not qualified to write them having sex in any form. If that is an aspect of the scene you are looking to have written, I can refer you to another writer with experience in that direction.
- Comedy. I’m sorry, but I’m just not a funny guy.
Things I have little experience with. (this doesn’t mean I’m unwilling to include them, just that unless you are willing to provide the needed information about them, it will slow the writing down, or won’t be accurate)
- Kinks/fetish of any kind. I have heard of kink/fetish, but it isn’t something I have experienced.
- Bondage.
- Dom/sub relationships. I do not understand the concept one bit.
- Romance as the main plot. This is more a case of not being able to make it work in a credible manner than not knowing about it. I have researched romance because I have attempted it. I don't believe I can write a good, long term, romance main plot. as a subplot, I am confident I can do a decent job.
