Read this first
BellusTowne is a roleplay community, but real commerce lives here too. The Atelier is the Lady's own workshop — the only door on this site where you hire the founder of the Towne, Robin Lee Cooksey, trading as Strength & Solidarity LLC, for her own professional services. Everything on this page is a real commercial service: real contracts, real deliverables, real prices. The roleplay framing is decorative; the work is plain.
Other buildings in the Towne — the Marketplace, the churches, the schools, and future shops yet to open — will host other real people selling their own real goods and services. When you commission there, you are hiring them, not the Lady. The Atelier is the only place you hire her directly.
Reserved for Citizens of BellusTowne. Every Commission in the Atelier is offered exclusively to Citizens and allies of the Towne. The Atelier does not take work for competing author-services platforms, ghostwriting mills, or rival agencies. To keep the workshop honest and the queue short, each Citizen may take only one Commission per service within its cadence window (shown on each card below).

The Founder's Reserved Trades
The trades listed below are reserved sitewide to the Town Founder, Robin Lee Cooksey, trading as Strength & Solidarity LLC. No other Citizen, shopkeeper, vendor, guild, or visiting tradesperson may sell, advertise, solicit, or accept paid work in these categories anywhere in BellusTowne — not in the Atelier, not in the Marketplace, not in the chambers, not by private message. Every other honest trade is welcome.
Listings or solicitations that violate this rule will be removed, the vendor's badge may be revoked, and dues are not refunded. Report violations to the Constables' Watch. The full registry is maintained by the Town Founder and may be amended as new trades open within the Towne.
