Commissions Open!!
Added 2018-05-01 21:46:51 +0000 UTCSwell Reads is finally reopened for commissions, and I've added the brand-new commission sheet at the top of the page. Either click here or scroll up to see it.
For those who are on the fence, you can view some examples of our voicework for free on our YouTube channel.
TL;DR version: Want your favorite inflation/weight gain/other expansion story read? You have two ways of doing so: Original Stories and Dubbed Stories. What are original and dubbed stories? Well...
Original stories are ones where a completely new piece of literature is created for the sole purpose of being voice-dubbed. These cost a flat $25.
This presents several advantages in itself, such as the commissioner being able to get exactly what they want out of an audio story and increased ease in adding sound effects. Original stories can either be written in traditional story format or as a script.
When you order an original story, you will receive:
- The story itself in .txt form.
- The raw recording pre-editing.
- The finished product, with added sound design.
I'll be posting a few examples of original stories I've made upon opening day.
Dubbed stories have been the backbone of our page up to this point, and will continue to coexist with original stories.
By default, any story under 2400 words is free to request. The easiest way to get a request to us is to join our discord server and post a link in #story-requests. While requests take an obvious backseat to paid commissions, they will be done nonetheless 9 times out of 10.
Stories with wordcounts above 2400 (or whatever your patreon tier's designated amount is) can be commissioned at a rate of $1 for every 60 words above the limit. Dubbed stories do not have sound effects added to them. The maximum wordcount for any dubbed story is 4800.
When you order a dubbed story, you will receive the finished story recording alone.

You also have the option of adding a piece of artwork to your purchase. The prices vary by artist, and are listed in the commission sheet linked above.
I have opened 3 slots for original stories and 5 slots for (paid) dubbed stories. First come, first serve.
