We are open for paid requests. People typically request characters, so this page is primarily dedicated to that. Although, if you have something else in mind, Iโll address other requests at the bottom of this page. Bear in mind, you must reach out to us via the email form at the bottom of this page to discuss the details of the request, and get it approved. Once thatโs happened, weโll send you a payment link.
Character Request Guidelines
1. We donโt accept all requests.
To save us all time, here are two guaranteed reasons that we will reject a request:
โ Prevalence of sexual or lewd content (TV-MA or R rated for sexuality is a guaranteed no)
โ Horror (horror elements are fine, but pure horror is not our thing)
2. The request needs to be current or popular
Between media length and writing time, paid requests basically earn us pennies, so the content itself needs to bring value to our website. (We donโt imagine anyone would want to pay $100+ for their obscure or nostalgic request.) In other words, weโd prefer to focus on content that is currently popular. A series that is getting a reboot could potentially count. For instance, you could request the original Star Wars characters (even though itโs old now), since the Star Wars universe is generally popular at the moment. Feel free to make a case when you submit your request.
3. Youโre paying for the media, not the characters
Youโre not paying per character. Youโre paying for us to consume the content in which the character appears. So, if you request a character that appears in a single movie, youโll pay the single movie rate. If that character appears in a series, youโll pay the series rate.
4. Not all characters can be typed
We do our best to fulfill your request. However, not all characters get enough development to make their personality type identifiable. We will pay special attention to the characters that you specifically mention to us, but if they donโt get enough screen time to be confidently typed, we will not type them. In those instances, we will share our thoughts with you on those unidentifiable characters, but we will not refund you. You are paying for our time, and whatever content can be produced which adheres to our standard.
5. Requests take time to fulfill
Be prepared for it to take up to a few months for us to publish the character analyses from your request. The exact amount of time will vary based on how many requests are currently in our queue, and how much of a time investment your request is. (A couple of movies is no big deal; a series is a different story entirely.) Weโll try to give you a rough estimate beforehand.
Approximate Pay Structure
*Exact price for your request will be determined after you submit the request, based on the anticipated time investment. These are estimates.
- $15 for a single movie
- $25 for characters that appear in a series
- $40 for a TV show or universe
- $15 for an anime 12 episodes or less
- $20 for an anime series that is 13-25 episodes
- $25 for an anime series thatโs more than 25 episodes
- $30 for an anime series thatโs more than 50 episodes*
Other Requests
Sometimes people express interest in books, historical figures, celebrities, etc. We havenโt done a lot of these, but weโre not against it. However, we would likely want to charge more, given the research effort that would be required. Feel free to reach out and make a proposal.
