>>20098086Honestly if I'm being honest, which I am, because that's what I'm about, the main thing I noticed after I started taking commissions was that I had no energy or ideas to work on other fics at the same time as I was pumping my 1K words per day. As soon as I took a break, both of those came back like 1 or 2 days after. Not in an increased rate, just the same as usual. So, in my opinion, so long as you're enjoying writing what you were commissioned, nothing would really change. I'm still being creatively challenged, I'm still making people horny, and I'm getting paid for that. Now, if you were commissioned something you dislike writing, then I can see why it'd be bad. But it's not all that bad. That being said, I shouldn't tell you to take commissions because then that'd be more competition...
>>20098202My rates aren't cheap. 1 dollar for every 100 words you wrote, but after 5K words, I'll only charge you 1 dollar for every 200! What a deal right? So if your fic is 10K you only pay me 75 dollars! But don't forget my hourly wage which I cover on top of my flat words wage, so that's 22 dollars per hour, I take about an hour to read 1K words so... you do the math.
