I am experienced with writing CYOA text games in Twine (both 1.4 and 2/2.1) and Ink and can certainly write for VNs, including character bios, dialogue, story outlines, final in-game text and so on. Likewise, I can write kinetic novels, especially those with interactivity and choices. I prefer writing science fiction and fantasy, but I'm more than happy to work in other genres; a solid plot outline is welcome, but unnecessary. I'm proficient with Ren'Py, so I can produce finished .rpy scripts, eliminating the need for a programmer to integrate the finished prose into the game.
I also offer plotting services: given criteria, desired genre, setting information and character profiles, I produce a 4-page plot synopsis.

I WILL WRITE
- I will write fantasy of all kinds, including high fantasy, urban fantasy, low fantasy, Lovecraftian mythos, Tolkienesque/D&Desque fantasy and modern fantasy.
- I will write science fiction, including soft sci-fi, space opera and adventure stories that happen to feature spaceships.
- I will write slice-of-life stories, including the sort that are just a collection of related vignettes.
- I will write horror, with a strong preference towards comedy-horror.
- I will write violent content and gore, as long as the content and imagery are not hateful towards marginalised groups.
- I will write romance between consenting adults, regardless of the genders involved (but I'm better at BxB and GxG than BxG).
- I will write gay, bisexual, lesbian and trans characters, including non-binary characters.
- I will write characters of any gender, actually.
- I will write action-adventure.
- I will write Twines, content for conventional RPGs, content for Visual Novels and Kinetic Novels, CYOA text adventures and so forth.
- I will work from someone else's outline.
- I will consider jobs of any size.
- I will not write romance between a minor (under 18) and an adult (over 18), regardless of the genders or precise ages involved. Large age gaps between adults in a romantic relationship will be assessed on a per-case basis.
- I will not write rape/dubcon.
- I will not write sexualised violence against women or LGBT+ people.
- Sexual content will be assessed on a per-case basis. I reserve the right to veto writing anything I am uncomfortable with or anything that squicks me.
- I require half the payment upfront. Payment will be through PayPal. I charge in USD for simplicity.
- 2c per word
- I must be credited in the finished game.
- Ghostwriting rates are 3c per word. This is for content that will not be credited to me.
- Plotting services are a flat $250.
I can offer a turn-around of a couple of days on work not exceeding 2 000 words; longer jobs will take longer, but my general speed is 1 000 words a day, including editing, so you shouldn't have to wait long.
