~ Important Changes to the Patreon! Please read! ~
🕑 Added 2020-04-06 08:22:21 +0000 UTCHello everyone~ I hope you all have been happy and healthy! It’s now April, which is crazy to think about, because that means next month is my patreon’s first anniversary! It feels like only a couple months ago I took on this challenge, but at the same time, it feels like I’ve been doing this for way longer. What a fun year it’s been! I’ve never written this much in my life before, and certainly nothing that has so often made me feel fulfilled. It’s been a great year thus far and I’m only more excited to see what the next year has to offer~
But on the topic of going forward, it’s about time for a little change. One year of patreon experience has taught me a lot~ I now have a much clearer idea of what my schedule needs to look like, what kind of content to produce, and how to keep it all managed. I’ve come to a few conclusions when it comes to figuring out how to make my patreon better, specifically towards the goal of writing more content for more people. I want my work to be shared, I’d like for the Curse Crazy name to be one that’s worth following and checking up on~
So I’ve decided that I’m going to make some changes to the patron reward tiers, as well as offer a new commission system to improve the flow of content I can produce! The first thing to note is that as far as the patreon goes, any changes described below will only take effect starting June 1st. For the rest of April and all through May, things will continue as they have been~ But after that, the specifics for rewards will follow a new system!
Let’s start from the bottom going up. Where’s my Jinxed-tier patrons at~!~! Neutral news for you guys: nothing changes! The $2 slot is still the same old $2 slot, an entry price to just show some support and get some early/exclusive access to stories! I suppose if my content production increases from these other changes, though, that means more stories for you guys! Neat!
Next up, my Hexed-tier patrons! Not much is going to change here, but since you guys do get voting rights, I would like to mention that I intend on doing a monthly poll-or-survey to determine fandom-based stories I produce~ Stories consisting of fandom characters traditionally do well and are typically in demand, so I’ve discovered over this past year. I want to do more, but my hesitation has generally been a worry that the fandom I write for might not be one to the interests of my patrons. This should remedy that! In the near future, I’ll be polling not just for some direction on which fandoms to write for, but I’ll also be taking suggestions for which fandoms to consider! You’ll be able to shout out any fandom you like, though I do prefer tidy lists over straight-up shouting. More details to come~ but I hope this excites the tier a bit! I’d like to see more of this tier fill up, so I’m all-ears for suggestions on how to improve.
Time for the biggest of the changes: the very special Cursed-tier~ For some of you, this may not be a change at all, but it will be something every patron here should consider going forward. Thus far, this tier has acted as my general commission tier for anyone looking to get a commission -- 2k words for $10, anything you wanted. However, starting in June, I will only accept requests from this tier for stories I can publish on my patreon. You can still decide if it will be publicly available or patron-exclusive, and you can still decide to attach your name to the commission when I post it. You can (mostly) request the same material! But in some form, the story will need to be publishable. This change will ideally increase the quantity of content my patrons get to enjoy, which is a win for everyone~ If you’re currently a Cursed-tier patron but still want to request private stories, keep reading to the bottom, because you might want to consider my off-patreon commissions~
And finally, the tip of the iceberg… the Spellbound-tier! All… er, one of you~ Well, there’s nothing changed here. Even with regards to the above, this slot will remain the same, including the ability to request a private story. That will be considered one of the extra perks, on top of the priority bonus. Now, depending on how things unfold with these changes and my general content flow, I might consider adding an extra slot or two in this tier~ I recommend that if anyone is particularly interested in joining the Spellbound-tier, message me directly so that I can keep you in mind. Currently, I don’t really have the time and arrangement for another prioritized story every month, but if my schedule smoothes out with these changes, then some space up here can definitely be opened!
And that’s it for the changes~ No new tiers or anything, and prices aren’t moving up or down~ Do keep in mind, however, that all of this is subject to change, but I will always try to give you all two-months notice about any significant changes. If you have any thoughts on what was discussed here, definitely leave a comment or message me! It’s only better for me to know your perspective and get that feedback~
Okay! Now time for an exciting addition to the Curse Crazy agenda: commissions! On top of running my patreon, I’ll also be taking on commissions for those that might want to request something, but can’t find the open reward slot to catch me. I want to produce the stories you guys want to read, and this seems like the best way for spreading my reach!
Of course, this isn’t limited to just patrons -- anyone can follow the form and submit a request for commission! These commissions do not need to be published, but allowing me to post them is sure nice. The patreon and writing done for it will generally take priority over any commissions, so if you do commission me, be aware that it might take some time for the final product to be ready.
So let’s dive in! My commission info is as follows:
Standard pricing:
$10 for 500 words
$20 for 2k words or less + $10 for every additional 1k words
$10 express delivery -- written one week after the commission is agreed upon. 2k words or less only.
To request a commission:
- Send a direct message to @cursecrazy on Twitter, or message me here on Patreon.
- Please mention you wish to commission a story, and include the following information:
- Estimated length of your commission
- Fandom of your commission, if applicable
- Summary of what you would like commissioned, including characters, themes, fetishes, interactions, developments, etc.
- Express delivery, if desired
- I will read the commission request and, if approved, I will include a final word estimate and price.
- A minimum 50% of the final price must be paid first before I begin writing. Once payment is received, any work.
- During the writing process, I may have to communicate with you regarding the progress of your story, including when it is completed.
- Once full payment has been collected, I can provide you the finished product~ Any edits you request of the writing will be done at no additional charge, completed at my convenience. Substantial additions or changes may require an additional payment.
Additional information regarding commissions:
- Commissions may take one-to-three months to complete. Longer stories will require longer time.
- If you are using OCs or other content I may not be familiar with, be prepared to include references and/or descriptions for me to work with.
- Please consider my writing style before requesting a commission! All of my stories lean to being long-winded and descriptive. A 2k word story covers about one fully fleshed-out scene from beginning to end!
- My do’s:
- All genders, identities, and orientations, including nongendered POVs.
- Size content, including but not limited to:
- Giants and tinies of any gender.
- Shrink and growth.
- Vore, crush, and misc. violence.
- Abduction and kidnapping.
- Gentle and nonsexual interactions.
- Obsessive stalker-types; “yandere” aesthetics.
- Power dynamics, BDSM, humiliation, etc.
- Supernatural scenarios; incorporating magic into the bedroom, fantasy races and concepts, etc.
- This includes anthros/furries, androids, and other non-human species~
- Fanfiction or characters from existing universes.
- I can do research into any series I might be unfamiliar with.
- Have an OC? I can work with you~
- Scat, watersports, and other bodily fluids and functions.
- Consensual, dubcon, and noncon.
- Voyeurism and other unaware interactions.
- Three or more partners.
- Adventure, romance, mystery, epic battles! I do much more than just erotica~
- My don’ts:
- I reserve the right to reject any suggestions of themes I disagree with or don’t find myself comfortable writing.
- I will not include pedophilia in any of my stories; all characters in my works are 18 years or older.
- I will not include incest in any of my stories; no sexual or lewd interactions between blood relatives.
- I will not include themes of homophobia, transphobia, or racism in any of my stories.
- Tips are appreciated~ Much of my writing is done at a rate of about one penny per word, so any amount extra you include is especially kind!
And that about covers it! Commissions are technically open now, so if you really want something and haven’t been able to commission me before, go ahead and contact me so I can pencil you into the schedule~ If you’re a current Cursed- or Spellbound-tier transitioning out of that patreon reward and we had a special arrangement, talk to me, and we’ll figure something out.
Reminder that the other patreon changes I’ve described will not go into effect until June 1st!
I look forward to improving this patreon even further~ This year has been very exciting for me, it’s absolutely been the most fun writing I’ve ever had! Thank you to everyone for giving me this opportunity, I only hope to keep this going for as long as possible~ Your support is always appreciated~

Sounds more than reasonable, honestly I've been thinking it's weird how little of the Patron stories actually get published.
