Should I accept commissions?

Hi everybody, I've got a question that I've been considering now that my story, The Pregnant Year, is finished, and I really want to hear what your thoughts are on the issue.
if I ever decide to accept commissions from people in exchange for writing stories, would you be interested in commissioning me? And if so, how much would you be willing to pay for a commission? I know that stories vary by length, and that the price of a commission should be higher the longer a story is. But other than that, I'm not sure how much to charge.
The reason why I've decided to consider accepting commissions is because writing The Pregnant Year helped build confidence in my writing and I've felt inspired to write more. In short, I caught the writing bug. Also, I intend to use the money that I would make from commissions to commission art from other artists since I don't really need that money to make a living, just a little incentive for those of you who enjoy pics of my OC's, Sam and Yoko, and would like to see more of them.
Please let me know if you are interested in commissioning me, either by commenting this journal or by sending me a note. I'll work out the rules for commissions if I get receive any interest for them.
EDIT: I would like to let everyone know that these commissions will be stories only, because some people tend to ignore the fact that the pictures in my gallery are ones that I have commissioned or requested from other artists and that I asked thise artists for permission to post their pics on my gallery. Therefore, the pictures in my gallery are NOT drawn by me. The stories in my gallery, however, HAVE been drawn by me. I have taken the time and effort to write them and they are representative of my writing skills.

I admire your preggy pics.
If you want a story written, you've come to the right place. If you want a picture drawn, you'll have to find someone else to commission. Just wanted to make that clear.
And as for prices I'm thinking maybe $10 for a short story, and 25$ or more for a longer, multi-chaptered story. Does that sound fair?
