I've been toying with this for a while since so many people do art, and I can't draw, I doubted whether this would be useful or not, but I'm gonna try it anyway. :)

I started worldbuilding just over 2 years ago, so not long now, but I discovered that I have a knack for it and want to help others. Though, because it eats up so much of my time, I wanted to do commission and offer 1x1 talk time. I am also disabled. I have dissociative seizures and that takes away a lot of my ability to hold regular full time hours, so this is a way to help my household financially.

I help with more than simply worldbuilding - please check out this page to learn more & see examples! <3

Listed below if what I have to offer, with examples included, and I hope this is able to help some people. <3

WORLDBUILDING
1x1 TALKS FOR DEVELOPMENT @ $15/h

For these talks, they will be over Discord, but please come prepared. Have a solid idea of what you are wanting, otherwise I cannot help you.

These talks are to help give you an area to focus on your worldbuilding, advice, and tips on what players will be looking for if you are creating to make it a roleplaying platform. Another big thing when it comes to worldbuilding is continuity. So, if you have a bunch of ideas but not sure how to make them all flow together, I can help you with that too!

If you have a quick summary drawn up to give a feel for your world, you can send that to me before our scheduled talk so that we can more or less dive right in. This option is only open to those who have scheduled a talk with me.

HOW TO SCHEDULE A 1x1 TALK:

-Send me a PM going over what you would like to discuss

-We can agree on a priority of topics if you like

-I can pen you in whenever is easiest for you, and because of timezones, with enough of a heads up I can re-arrange my sleep schedule to help accommodate

-The 1x1 will happen over Discord and we can either VC (voice chat) or type

-ALL 1x1’s, once a date and time have been agreed upon by both parties, payment must be sent to solidify the appointment.


PLEASE NOTE: If you are late to your appointment, e.g., 10 minutes late, that is 10 minutes you have lost. The hour continues on and you only have 50 minutes left.

If you miss an appointment entirely, you missed it. There are no refunds for not showing up.

If, however, something has come up and you can no longer attend the talk and you give prior notice (6 hours minimum) I will refund you. Life happens. <3


COMMISSIONS

Need help building you world? I can help with that too! Whether you want a disease, or an animal or plant - perhaps a god? I can whip something up for you. Just give me some parameters you would like or a component you would like it to include and I can go from there, or you can give me artistic freedom and I’ll make whatever comes to mind and send it your way.

Depending on what you would like to me to make for you, and how much detail will change the price, so please PM as this will be a case by case basis. For instance, if someone would like an entire race drawn up complete with physical attributes, mating practices, diet, etc, (for example the Ãoni of Tam'nýer—a') that’s gonna be way more time and a lot of detail and will be much different than perhaps a couple paragraphs about an illness or drug.

EXAMPLES OF WORK

The World of Tam'nýer—a', basically from the ground up with additions from various awesome people added. Everything that does not have a credit has been crafted and written up by yours truly.

Silver Rivers is a Sci-fi group that is a massive WIP and created by the loverly Mipps. I am currently one of the people adding little tidbits.



WRITING & EDITING
WRITING PROFILE

A writing profile is a service I offer that is extremely helpful for writers of all kinds. It is where I go over multiple examples of your writing, whether it be a simple article, writing assignments and a whole bunch of replies. I read them, make notes and essentially analyze your writing. Once finished, I come back to you and point out habits that may be inhibiting you from reaching the next level of writing. Not only that, but I can show you, with examples from the works you gave me to analyze, things that you may focus too heavily on, that may be slowing down the pace, and give you tips as well as tricks to help you overcome certain obstacles.

Depending on how much reading material you give me, it can take me longer. However, I will always get back to you and keep you up to date as to where I am with your analysis if I don't get it done in the first couple of days.

ARTICLES, SCREENPLAYS, SHORT STORIES & NOVELS

Whether your writing project is short or long, I am available to edit it as in depth or lightly as you like. If you only want a spell check, and grammar (punctuation) check, or some assistance aiding your story flow, I can do that. Aside from things such as Grammarly, which tend to miss nuance and dissuade you from writing anything 'pretty', I can help you stay focused, build up suspense and keep some of the more poetic prose that denotes your specific style of writing.

For this sort of thing, I highly recommend Google Docs so that I can highlight suggestions and corrections, permitting you to check and fix at your leisure, and not need me in the same room as you. Not only that, but I can highlight exactly where in your story, rather than leave a vague post-it somewhere on the first page of your manuscript.

I have also helped other writers avoid overly stereotypical dialogue, and lighten heavy-handed served tropes, so that you don't read like something the general public has read, heard or seen over and over, keeping your audience engaged.

CONTACT ME:

For inquiries, feel free to either PM me on the RPR or message me on Discord @ Demi#0263. However, please do not add me on Discord to ask me to look over your world and give critiques or check for continuity. That is a service I offer, not something I do for free as it eats up a lot of time. Worldbuilding is not just something I do for fun, it is also a job. Thank you for respecting that. :)

PAYMENT METHOD
Please pay through my Ko-fi. Thank you! <3

Things for $6

Pāyongū (snake creature)

Pāyongū paw-yo-new

Three glowing red eyes amongst white pearlescent scales. This beast is alarming as it is stunning to look at. Their three eyes aid them in having a 270 degree periphery, but also to see more detail in the dark. Of course, they see infrared to help them hunt and this is especially helpful because most of their prey tend to be small, as well as the environment that they thrive in the most is jungle & rainforest.

With a head shaped like a cobra’s and growing to 29+ feet long, with being a foot to two feet in diameter (the large ones are always females), they aren’t exactly what you would want to run into in the middle of the jungle. However, the surprising thing is that they primarily eat dead leaves and ant colonies. Talk about bottom feeders!

Furthermore, these gorgeous creatures actually burrow in the ground, and live through a tunnel system made around deep healthy tree roots. This is because their babies tend to suckle on the roots as a source of water, and brushing against them keeps their scales clean of debris, and insects.

^Demi is absolutely wonderful and has AMAZING ideas about little things that I would have never considered that really add to the world. Those little things make worlds more immersive and allow for more opportunity for characters.

Demi is a sweetheart and super easy to work with. I am really happy to have him onboard for Silver Rivers.

High recommendations <33

!!! ♡♡♡♡ Thank you so much, Mipps! You're an absolute sweetheart.
Demi puts a lot of time into his worldbuilding and it really shows. The little details add a lot of depth, and they're easy to pick up once you start exploring the verse. Which, goes along with saying that he makes it really easy for newcomers to pick up the verse and ease their way in.

Haven't gotten to work with him much myself, but I currently am partaking in one of his verses along with a mutual friend's verse in which we collaborate as worldbuilders and I've gotten to see him work with the head of the verse, despite being in a different area of the group. He really throws himself into the worlds he gets involved with.

I'm looking forward to working with him more where I can have him all to myself.

You do me such a great honour, Love. Thank you so much for your kind words. <3 It's always a pleasure talking to you, and I can't wait to work more hands on with you. :) !

Not trying to prove bias or anything, but I do need to put in my own recommendation. Demi has helped me developed parts of my own worlds, my own aspects of characters that become more world centered, and further than that he's helped me go through quite a few talks about how to put certain features together even on small scale things. His attention to detail has really brought out a different side of my own, and improved on many things that I didn't think I could develop for myself. He has a taste for realism, and things that are very easily upheld and help put things into a strong realistic perspective. :) I definitely recommend his expertise, and encourage this idea entirely.
Also me. I met Demi almost a year ago when I joined RPR, just after discovering collaborative writing. Becoming part of his group Tam'nýer—a', and writing with him, has been inspirational and my own creativity grew by leaps and bounds as a result. After my daily job in the corporate world, it’s been a blessing. Demi’s creations are multi-layered and thought-provoking. I highly recommend him to bounce off ideas over Discord or to help develop a well-planned and coherent world filled with fantastic creatures! <3

Trylimarin (technology/mineral) - $8

Trylimarin is the name given to a newfound mineral. However, we are using the term 'newfound' despite it having been discovered 34 years ago by accident when a mountain exploded. Unbeknownst to everyone, it was actually a dormant volcano that brought forth a gift that revolutionized technology as we knew it.

Growing in quartz-like formations at that particular volcano site, (scientists are currently developing a way to replicate its compound structure as a way to manufacture it in labs), Trylimarin has been found to be able to power various things when given it's own magnetic field. Though before this sounds like an end all be all, the minerals can degrade over time due to the pressure and are toxic if burned.

Despite the dangers, Trylimarin has become a main power source that is also used for trade as well. It can power vehicles big and small, & generators, freeing up the abundant solar energy to take care of the bigger jobs and have it in excess in case of eclipse so that no one has to slow down for any reason.

Trylimarin appears primarily as forest & moss greens swirled with dashes of white. However, it is not uncommon to find growths of it with splotches of dark beiges and chocolate browns.
