Re: I had a writing commission go sideways, and I just really need to vent.

[(Anonymous)]

My advice, as someone who's written fic for commission before, is to look for writers who've written pieces that are close to what you're looking for, especially for porn fic. It makes it more likely that they'll be comfortable writing what you want, and that you'll be pleased with the finished product. And if they seem really unenthused about your request, back out before you have an agreement finalized. Do it gracefully, if you want to leave an option to attempt another commission from them, but trust your instincts. There's a chance you'll be passing up a chance at a fic from an author who you've just read wrong, but that's better than paying for a dud someone's going to struggle and resent their way through.

(Note: This isn't meant to let your writer off the hook - if they didn't want to write your prompt, they should have said up fron that they weren't interested/comfortable writing it, or contacted you when they realized they couldn't really do what you want beyond regurgitating your request in the middle of a fic. They were wrong for not being honest about their ability to meet your request, and doubly wrong for getting pissy over being asked for an edit. But they're not here, and being more selective might help you avoid getting stung again by someone who doesn't really comprehend how commissioned fic is supposed to work.)
