Just curious, what would you pay for a commissioned story.
11 years ago
Hey everyone,
Just trying to figure out what would be a fair cost to charge for short stories and possibly longer ones also as Commissions.
See I was thinking of the below but not sure since never done this before and looking at other prices they so varied its hard to find whats fair.
Price guide (Example)
Short Story
$10 Per Short Story Around 3000 Words (1-3 characters) (Varies based on idea, most would be in the 3500 mark but could vary.)
+$5 per Extra 1000 words (I.e. $50 = 10000 Words.)
+$5 For extreme content (Should be self explanatory but scat play and other nasty stuff.)
+$10 For per additional character (Roughly adds 1000 words to story.)
+S25 Rush Fee (Be bumped higher in the queue and story to be finished quickly usually 1 week. Obviously the longer the story the longer it takes.)
Longer stories 30000 Words + (novellas)
$100 Base cost (1-3 Main Characters) 30000 words (There about.)
+$5 Per Extra 1000 words
+$10 For extreme content (Should be self explanatory but scat play and other nasty stuff.)
+$20 For per additional main character (Roughly adds 2500 words to story.)
+$50 Rush Fee These are much longer more in depth stories so even with a rush fee will take time.
((personally I can write anywhere between 1000-5000 words per hour, depends on mood and mojo at the time.)
Let me know what people think and what you would be willing to pay.
Note anything longer than 50000 words would need to talk more on because those would take a lot of time and effort.
Still open for free requests, but as with the nature of requests I cannot do them all.

For longer or serial.works, prices are discussed, but usually follow a similar model. :3
