Pet Descriptions
http://www.injenn.net/anonymous/tundra1.png
Let's pretend this was the pet, for example purposes. (It's a melee monster, but whatever.) Let's call it a "Tundra"

Style 1: Quick Blurb
It crouched low, testing the ground with its paws--the faint feeling of echoing drummed through the ice. The Tundra stared into the frigidity, barely feeling the snow whipping around its face, numbing its nose. The scent of prey! It coiled its leg muscles like a spring, then launched--in its paws lay warm fur, a beating heart. It was feeding time.

What does this tell you?
- It's a "tundra"
- It lives in the tundra
- It's a predator

My Style 1 will always tell you the name, where it lives, and a little about how it lives its daily life (in this case, hunting).


Price: $2.50

Style 2: Poem

In the frigid cold I lay my paw,
The snow whips 'round in drifts
A delicious taste wafts past my jaw,
The icy snow beneath me shifts.

These are only four lines long, but will do some sort of characterization of the pet.


Price: $1.50

Plots

For a plot, all you have to do is give me characters and their personalities. If you want, give me pets and their personalities and I'll come up with characters.

There will be "stages" in the plot. EG: A prequel, then something the users will have to do to progress to the next stage.

Stage:

Prose:
The morning sun shined a little duller than normal. It would have gone unattended had Misfit the Tundra not realized it was colder than usual. His fur felt icy, as if icicles had frozen in the down and left him feeling like a large popsicle. Something had gone wrong, and he was going to find out what.

That was not the only odd thing that had happened. Out in the distance, he swore he saw a cloud of some sort of gas rising like a giant bird about the tundra. Perhaps that was the reason the sun had grown dimmer...

User:
User brings their pet to a place in your arctic land called "Mysterious Gas Leak." They are presented with five strange machines that are asking for passwords. The fifth one errors every time and says "Error #401: Enter correct password for Recluse Project. Restarting." User enters "Recluse Project" as a password on the other machines and it brings them to a lever. They're asked if they want to pull it up or down. If they pull it down, the place gets colder. If they pull it up, the sun returns to normal... until the next stage!


Price: $5.00 per stage


Stories

Stories are priced at $0.005 per word. A short story, which is about 1,000 words, would cost $5.

Longer stories would have price adjustments depending on how long it is. The more you order, the less you pay.

Examples:

World Development

The examples above should give you a good example of the potential for how I can develop worlds and plots. For world development, I charge:

Sentient Species: $5.00 per page of description, including culture
Lands: $10.00 per page of description. Includes animal species, special locations, plant species, ecological habitats, etc.
Countries: $10.00 per page of description. Includes government, demographics, land descriptions, etc.
History (country): $10.00 per page of description. Includes notable leaders, history of wars, turning points of the country, etc.
History (world): $15.00 per page if not provided reference. $10.00 if provided reference. $5.00 per page if you ordered species, lands, and countries from me to work with. (Sufficient detail, you know?)

Country Flags: $3.00 each (provide colors). Comes with description on choice from mythology or history, as well as an image.




Questions? Ask.
Let's get these worlds more detailed and less generic. :)

Can you name pets?

Viral

Yep. I could probably come up with names based on different languages (eg: if your pet lives in the desert and you wanted it based on Egyptian).

Or, I could come up with a conlang for you (a whole new constructed language for your site) and base names off of that.

Ducarion
From the verb ducan ("to vanish") and the verb rionan ("to mystify").
The creature is capable of modifying its body chemistry to match the colors of objects around it. It can turn semi-translucent in a sense where it can "vanish" but really only changed its colors like a chamilian.

You can't feel echo's.....

But seriously. I don't quite understand why people would pay for the writing when there are so many high quality writers out there who would do it for free.

Echoing is used in a stylistic means. Like, if you shout in a cavern, you get a reverberating sound, and you can feel that sound in the ground as it bounces around. Perhaps reverberating is the better word, though.
