Hey guys.
I've decided that I would like to trade some writing in exchange for art or more writing. This is because I'm in the mood for trades but lately I've been in places where I can't do digital drawings, and this trend is likely to continue. Besides which, I'm more in the mood to write than draw.

Soooo....
I would be willing to write stories and vignettes between 500 and 3000 words, though the length would be however long it ended up (I couldn't make it longer or shorter deliberately).

I can write:
1. Stories about your OCs, if your OCs have coherent backstories and personalities and you have some sort of idea what you would want them to be doing.
2. Stories based off a prompt you would provide.
3. Fanfiction for the following fandoms: ATLA, Avengers, Hikaru no Go, Tower of God, Monster, Great Gatsby, Naruto, the Lunar Chronicles, Rise of the Guardians, Death Note, Animorphs, Fruits Basket, Gravity Falls, Dr. Horrible, Frozen, Tangled (depending on what you request).

Some samples of my writing:
As Intangible as a GhostI think Colin was lonely. He kept on coming up to my house, day after day after day. Even after I'd explained for the thousandth time that hello, I wasn't that kind of psychic.
Yes, I could see him. And yes, that was rare. I think only one out of maybe a hundred thousand people can see ghosts? And Upton was too small to have a genuine psychic in residence. He told me that until I  moved in, no one had ever seen him. And tethered to the cemetery, unable to go more than a few miles, he couldn't leave town to seek anyone out.
But I wasn't the kind of psychic he was looking for. I didn't carry messages for the dead. I didn't try to help them move on to the next life. Heck, until I met Colin I avoided talking to them pretty easily: ghosts are selfish, and when they realize they can't impress you and you can't help them, they move on to talk to each other instead of the boring teenage girl.
But Colin kept on coming to visit me. And he was polite enough about it that I never felt like I
  Halloween Contest Entry-Loki x ReaderLoki agreed with you at the time. You'd pick him up at seven (he still didn't have a car, even eight months after arriving on Midgard), drive down to the Halloween party, get him back home by midnight before the party got too crazy and the crowd started making him claustrophobic. It took you an hour to get him to agree to even go.
The deciding factor, you think, was that it was at the Stark mansion. And Loki liked the idea of arriving in costume, not even transformed underneath the mask, and seeing if the Avengers would recognize him and try to arrest him. You argued with him for another fifteen minutes to get him to agree not to start a battle against all the Avengers at once right then and there. But you succeeded, and he agreed.
So he should have answered the door by now. You knock one more time, loud and insistent. That's six times you've knocked now, six knocks each time in the pattern you had agreed on so he'd know it was you (because sometimes, even after living in peace for eig
  Reftia's DevoteeWhen I first came to the temple of Reftia, the patron goddess of the military, the priests were kind. They recognized a lonely soldier, sent home because of my wounds. In recent times, many like me had come. I had lost my left leg from the knee down, but I had a crutch, and I had no doubt Reftia had preserved my life.
Back then, the temple overflowed with visitors. I got a room at the inn and came to services every day. Others would flock in with me, veterans and relatives of soldiers. We sacrificed oxen and chanted odes of praise for Reftia's blessings, and supplication for those still at war.
They called me a hero back then, seeing my missing leg, and I was foremost in the worship.
I had planned to head home after that, but instead I lingered in town.  I got a job at the inn where I was staying and tended to the bar. In three years I got a wooden leg and a cane to replace the crutch.
Every day I went back to the temple. When the war ended, services became less frantic, sacrifice

I won't write:
1. Anything NSFW.
2. Slash, m/m, f/f.
3. Anything longer than 3000 words...On purpose. If I spill over, well.
4. Stories about OCs about which I have no information.
5. Poetry

In exchange I would accept:
1. Art. Either fanart of art of one of my OCs. Just one drawing, nothing too strenuous.
2. Writing of equal length along similar guidelines.

I will choose for myself whether to trade with any given person. If you'd be interested, please comment and tell me what you'd request and what you'd be willing to give in exchange with a link to an example.

What Next?

9 min read
I've just finished my request backlist from August, and I'm beginning to wonder what I should do next.
Should I...
Request/commission more art?
Recently, two wonderful artworks were made for my OCs.


This wonderful drawing by Artofchase was a request. By the way, pretty sure she's still open for those if you'd be interested.
And then there was this...
C: Zoraida by MatrixKix


MatrixKix did this as a commission of Zoraida. Pretty sure she's still open for more commissions too (and they're pretty cheap) so once again, if that kind of thing interests you...
I was super excited to get such wonderful artworks of my OCs. Before this, no one had drawn them except me and their creators. And I have a couple other requests in the works, so we'll see how that goes.
But that still leaves the question of what I should do next.
Should I...
Open for commissions? I had planned to open for commissions sometime after completing my requests, though I had told myself to do requests first to get in some practice. But now that that's done, I might well go forward. I do need money...
Do lit commissions? I don't think there's as much of a market for those, but I would still be willing.
Do lit requests? It could be fun.
Enter contests?
I've been considering the following:

Some of us are already heading back to school, others are trying to squeeze the most out of the season before the dim months settle over us.  Let's capture the feeling of summer and the passions that can emerge when time is short!  To plant some seeds, entries will need to somehow incorporate each of the three elements below: ice cream, sunglasses and a fast-approaching date.

Surely, fine dining isn't just limited to fancy restaurants!

...So as you can see, I have absolutely no idea which ones I actually want to do. But they're all worth checking out if you're looking for a contest.
Should I...
Draw Zoraida, Naomi and Valero? Certainly they don't have a lot of art.
Draw other OCs I have that I haven't yet shown on this site? Maybe. But they don't have the most concrete designs, since I tend to write about them more than draw them.
Draw fanart? I haven't done much of that in a while, and recently I'm on a bit of a Gravity Falls craze, so that could be fun.
If anyone has any opinion as to what I should do next, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, maybe I'll do a little bit of everything! But now more requests for a while.

Going Adrift

1 min read
Hey guys.
For the next couple months, I might not be posting as much on here. I'm going to be going off to college, and I won't have nearly as much time. Besides, I will be focusing on other things.
To all of you from whom I've accepted requests: They'll be completed. But it might take a while.
To all of my friends and watchers: You probably won't be hearing from me or seeing art from me nearly as much.
But I'll still be around sometimes. And I'll still be doing art, even if it isn't always posted.
Vaya con Dios!

Edited 8/13: ALL SLOTS NOW FILLED. REQUESTS ARE NOW CLOSED.

Hey guys.
I've decided to open for a few requests. Not a ton and it could take me a while to do them, since I'm kind of busy. But a few. It'll give me a chance to draw some OCs with designs I like that aren't mine.
I'll be open for headshot, half body and full body drawings of OCs or fanart.
Headshot will probably look something like this:
Escargot Headshot by Convenient-Alias
Since I don't have much practice with these, I will have four slots open.
Half body will look something like this:
Johan is Done by Convenient-Alias    Luchia and Amatsuki-Contest Entry by Convenient-Alias
Once again, less practice, so I'll have three slots open.
Full body will look something like this:
Escargot by Convenient-Alias   Vesseldevil-DTA Entry by Convenient-Alias   Meet Naomi by Convenient-Alias
Since I have considerably more practice with this, there will only be two slots open.
To request a drawing, please comment below with a link to the character you'd like me to draw. Also please mention whether you'd want a half body, a full body or a headshot or if you'd be fine with any of the three.
This won't necessarily be first come first serve. I'll draw OCs that I like. That said, I'm not particularly picky.
