Shopkeeper’s NEW Caged Assistant Auction! - BIDDING OPEN!
Added 2021-01-08 20:18:29 +0000 UTCMost that have read any of my stories featuring the shopkeeper in the least year have also found a rabbit in the back of the shop. This rabbit was a former thief who, in ‘Buns of Steal’, came into the position. And if you’ve read the most recent shopkeeper story (found here ) you know that the bun has been promoted to official shop assistant in training!
While we’re all happy for her promotion, this does leave a spot free and the shopkeeper doesn’t like keeping around a cage if she doesn’t need it. So how about we fill that cage up again?
Over the past year I’ve gotten a few requests from people looking to see if the spot of store pet would ever be up for someone else to take that spot. Since I got a lot of requests, I knew there wasn’t going to be a perfect way for me to pick out of all of them so I’ve instead devised a bit of an auction, a little similar to my CYOA-Patreon story, but this one being open for all to see.
So I will be taking bids from today, as of right now, until January 15th, 2021 at noon Eastern Standard Time. At which point the highest bidder will take the slot. If there is still bidding going on at the last hour, I’ll let it continue with those already engaged in bidding until they reach an end. Bidding will be done in increments of $10 each and will start at a bid of $50 (USD).
This is what you’ll be bidding for:
-Your character turned into a cage worthy animal for the shopkeeper.
-An introduction and tf story of at least 5k ($150 commission value normally) words bringing your character into the cage.
-An outro tf story, of at least 5k words, that gets you out of the cage.
-During the time from your first time story showing up and for one calendar year after, any shopkeeper story will feature your transformed character.
-Unlike with the bun, I can’t guarantee future employment at the shop, sadly.
So does that interest you? If so, I’m happy to take your bids in the form of emails to this address: katemarquetcyoasit[at]gmail.com
Those emails should have the headline, ‘Shopkeeper’s Caged Assistant – [Your Character’s Name Here]’
Then be sure to cover these details:
-Bidding name you’ll use.
-Name and physical description of your character.
-Species you want to be changed into. See later [Restrictions] for what animals are and aren’t allowed.
-A one or two sentence prompt that explains how your character lands in that caged situation for one year.
-How much you want to bid. Again, starting bid is $50 and bids above can be made in $10 increments. If you want to simply provide a highest bid, you are free to do that as well.
[Restrictions]:
-Animal must be able to fit in a rabbit cage (37" L x 19" W x 20"H) so unfortunately no cows or dogs or massive dragons. If you’re looking for ideas that DO work: minks, stoats, ferrets, mice, rats, or perhaps even a bird, with the right species, would qualify but I’m open to other ideas too.
-18+ age for characters.
Once your initial character pitch is accepted, I’ll also take your bid if it’s the highest or I’ll inform you of the current highest bid and see if you want to go higher. This goes until either you step out of bidding or, as the highest bidder, you win the slot. There is only ONE position available for this, though I do intend on making this a yearly special event of sorts so it’s possible to still get on it in the future. ^^
If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this post or message me through this site's messaging service or on Discord if you like or just directly using the katemarquetcyoasit[at]gmail.com address.
This post will also serve as the place where I’ll update bidding with the highest bidders preferred name and highest bid (in order to keep the transformation in question a surprise, that information will be kept out).
Again, this bidding ends on January 15th, 2021 at noon Eastern Time. I wish the best of luck to everyone interested in bidding. ^^ Payments would be made through PayPal, just so you’re aware.
Current Highest Bidder Name: Geistis
Current Highest Bid: $650

I wish everyone the best of luck with this unique opportunity and hope to create some new fun tales with what tails I end up working with. I hope everyone is having a happy new year, with hugs and kisses.
