ask first.
Vox_Akumeoi's offerings:
Vox_Akumeoi Auction #1
Organizations this auction benefits: Bellingcat *, Life After
Hate, Spread the Vote, VoteRiders (See full list.
* denotes an organization that accepts international donations.)
Type of fanwork: Fan labor
Subtype(s):
Betaing, Typesetting
Fandom(s): Any
Highest rating:
E
Length/scope: Beta is max 10K words for any bid amount. Typsetting is 1K words for every 1$ bid. (So for instance, a 50K work would be a minimum of 50$.) Cap of 100K words (100$ minimum bid).
Minimum Bid: $7
Fan labor details: I have experience with many different forms of beta'ing and consider myself a well-rounded beta. I am very good at proofreading as I am detail-oriented, and I am also good at sentence-crafting/line edits, pacing, consistency, and flow. If I am familiar with your fandom, I can also offer feedback on characterisation. My weakest area is cheerleading, although I can help you problem-solve to keep the writing going.
If you request typesetting, I will provide a pdf of a written work of your choice. I am able to format the pdf for printing and binding and/or display on a screen. At your request and for no additional bid amount, the pdf can include any of the following elements: An at-minimum basic front and back cover. Any additional information that comes with the main work, such as the author's notes, summary, and tags. A table of contents. Page numbers or other headers and footers. Interesting section dividers. I am also open to the inclusion of other elements if I have experience with them - just ask. All artistic elements will be made of free-to-use digital scrapbooking elements.
Relevant experience/background: I have taken a few creative writing classes where critique/feedback were taught. I also have 10+ years of experience beta'ing fanfiction and original fiction novels/longfic, short stories, and poetry. I have also done proofreading and been the writing mod for multiple zines in the fandom space.
As for typsetting, I typset the first volume of the No. 6 Zine in 2018, and I have typeset other zines and fanfictions as a hobby since then. I also do a bit of layout design in the form of quote cards and collage art, which is what I would be relying on to design the front and back covers.
Other notes about labor offered: Don't hesitate to reach out to me if
you have any questions about my offering, if your work would be a good
fit for me, or how the beta process might work depending on your
specific needs. If you've never worked with a beta before, I'm more
than happy to help you get acquainted with the beta'ing process.
Especially interested in: I prefer fluff, romance,
hurt/comfort, fantasy, sci fi, and AUs.
Unwilling to address: Although I am willing to beta explicit
works, there are some kinks and some forms of graphic violence which I
can't work with. Torture especially is a big NO. Most hardcore kinks
are also a NO, including BDSM, although bondage in and of itself
might be okay (i.e. if your otherwise vanilla sex scene has a
blindfold in it, it won't be a problem). Omegaverse without a dom/sub dynamic in the main pairing's personal or sexual lives is fine. Of course, no paedophilia, incest, or noncon. I don't really like unrelenting angst, violence, or whump, so
wouldn't be able to bring my full passion to a work which doesn't have
at least a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Please do not
ask me to beta any of these things. If you want me to typset a fic which contains or focusses on those things, let's discuss it in advance before bidding.
Selling printed or digital copies of my typeset is strictly forbidden, even if you are the author of the original work. You may bring the typeset to a bookbinder to acquire one or two personal copies, however. I also will not create a typeset for printing of a fic by an author who has explicitly stated they do not want fan binds of their work.
Special interests: F/F ships, Poly ships,
Genderswap/genderbending, Canonically trans or nonbinary characters

Vox_Akumeoi Auction #2
Organizations this auction benefits: Bellingcat *, Life After
Hate, Spread the Vote, VoteRiders (See full list.
* denotes an organization that accepts international donations.)
Type of fanwork: Written fanwork
Subtype(s): fan
fiction (new)
Fandom(s): Original Work, Dungeons &
Dragons
Highest rating: M
Length/scope: Less than
5k words.
Minimum Bid: $7
Especially interested in: emotional intimacy / emotional
vulnerability / hurt/comfort
kissing/making out / physical intimacy
/ romance
fantasy / sci-fi / creative world-building
happy
endings / badass moments / healing / redemption / acceptance of
revealed secrets
Unwilling to address: I will not write torture, gore, angst
without a happy ending, abusive relationships, humiliation, hardcore kinks, overly
graphic violence, or overly graphic NSFW. No paedophilia, incest, or noncon. I
also prefer not to write about drugs, smoking, or alcohol outside of
casual, incidental usage, i.e. character has a glass of wine with
dinner.
I'm not super jazzed about writing real-world holidays. Made up holidays are fine. Not the person to write about pregnancy, either.
Other notes: Please have a character sheet and some information
about your OCs/setting/plot ready for me, because I WILL have
questions I need answers to in order to write them better. Unless of
course you're giving me carte blanche to develop them how I think
makes sense (as in the case of a D&D character backstory fic, for
example).
I have 10+ years of experience writing original short
stories, and about 6 months of experience playing D&D. However, I am
also a fan of The Adventure Zone and Critical Role and have access to
a lot of the official D&D sourcebooks if needed.
Don't hesitate
to reach out to me if you have questions about my offering, about
whether your story/characters are a good fit for me, how the writing
process would work, or anything else!
Special interests: F/F ships, Poly ships,

Vox_Akumeoi Auction #3
Organizations this auction benefits: Bellingcat *, In Our Own
Voice *, Spread the Vote, VoteRiders (See full list.
* denotes an organization that accepts international donations.)
Type of fanwork: Written fanwork
Subtype(s): fan
fiction (new)
Fandom(s): Critical Role
Highest
rating: M
Length/scope: Less than 5k words.
Minimum Bid: $7
Especially interested in: Widomauk (Caleb x Molly) or Caleb &
Nott
I will write BACKGROUND/SIDE/MINOR: BeauYasha, Fjord/Jester,
and most platonic ships
I would prefer to write an AU. Canon
divergence counts as an AU.
My top likes:
emotional intimacy
/ emotional vulnerability / hurt/comfort
wing/avian/flight au /
fantasy / sci-fi
happy endings / badass moments / healing /
redemption / acceptance of revealed secrets
kissing/making out /
physical intimacy / romance
Unwilling to address: I will not write any main pairings other
than Widomauk or platonic Caleb & Nott. Kingsley and Lucien are not
the same as Molly to me, so I will not include Kingsley/Caleb or
Lucien/Caleb.
I will not write angst without a happy ending,
gore, excessive violence, torture, humiliation, noncon, or most kinks. No porn without plot. No pregnancy/mpreg.
I know Molly likes drugs and
alcohol but I am not the person to write a story centred on those, as
I don't think I could make it feel authentic. I'm not interested in
writing most real-world holidays. Made up ones are fine because I like
worldbuilding.
Other notes: MISC INFO:
I am currently on episode 49, and
avoiding spoilers. If there's something from after that point that
you'd like me to address, please let me know what episode number it's
in so I can let you know when I get there, up to episode 100.
I
do play D&D myself, if D&D knowledge is needed.
I prefer to
write Molly as a he/him nonbinary person. If you have strong feelings
otherwise, we can talk about it.
THE PROCESS:
I tend to ask
a lot of questions to suss out exactly what my bidder likes and
dislikes. Expect to get an email from me with questions at any point
in the process. However, I don't share any parts of my drafts with
anyone except my beta. I can work with a specific prompt or a list of general likes/dislikes, but I also have a list of ideas you can pick from if you prefer. I will probably
post the fic to AO3 when it's done.
Special interests: Genderswap/genderbending, Canonically trans
or nonbinary characters, Trans or nonbinary interpretations of canon
characters
