A toast, roast, or short piece for one person
Tell me one real detail about someone: how they laugh, a thing they always say, the night that mattered. I write you a toast, a roast (gentle or not), or a short 150-300 word piece built around that one true thing, meant to be read out loud. Two samples, so you can see the shape: You give me: "My dad taps the roof of the car twice every time he drops me off. Even at 6am. Even when he's mad." I give back: "My father has never once said he's proud of me out loud. But every time he drops me off, he taps the roof of the car twice, like a knock on a door he'll never walk through. I used to think it meant get out. It took me twenty years to hear it: drive safe. I love you. Come back." You give me: "He's been about to start the gym since 2019." I give back: "Dave has a gym membership so old it should have a founding member plaque. He's not lazy. He's in a long-term relationship with the idea of himself, and like any good partner, he shows up for the anniversary and nothing else. We love him anyway. Mostly." How it works: 1. Send the detail and what the piece is for (wedding, birthday, leaving-do, an apology, or just because). 2. I write the first line free. You see it before paying anything. 3. If it lands, we agree the price and I finish it. Card payment through a single-use link, no account needed. What you get: a finished piece, ready to read, plus one revision. Delivery within 3 days of agreement.
