Will Write For Cash

Hmm. While taking a semi-important test, I had an interesting thought: I was thinking about how some artists do comissions, and things like that. Well, I wonder, can you do the same thing with literature? Is it concievable to do story comissions? If so, I would like to try that out. I mean, hey, I can write, and I need money, so why not? Comment on this if you have any thoughts, or if you would like to explain how the whole comission thing works. (I have no idea how to get that going...) Right now, I'll take a free request if I like you well enough, so if you have been nice to me at some point in the past, feel free to ask. Peace out, furs. =^-^=

Well, as far as getting the commission thing going. Bascially you do a journal saying you are offering commissions. Then list prices for said commissions. For example Jeeves offered two commissions slots the other day for five dollars a piece for a five to ten page story. Both were snapped up rather quickly. Another writer Whyteyote does his like this http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/707233/ So as you can see there is a big difference in prices. On another note, it will generally be your watchers that take you up on commissions, so the more you have you greater your chance of getting commissions. Beyond that payment is really up to you. Some people do paypal, electronic checks or other such things. Also I won't lie to you about this, getting people to pay you to write is difficult. I have toyed with the idea myself, but come to the conclusion that it isn't really worth it, mainly because I have a rather small number of watchers, and my writing talent is minimal to say the lest. Hope that clears some stuff up. Any other questions?

You sign up for an account, from there you can attach it to an existing bank account that you have. Once this is done you can transfer money into it. Once you have money in your paypal you can send funds to others and it gets put into thier paypal account. You can also put paypal funds into your bank account, however they screw it up sometimes from what I understand, or get a paypal debit/credit card. There is info on thier site for better details.
