So what is your guy's opinions on commissions mainly for writing? Because i always held the belief that one should work for the minimumwage of where they live, so for me 12 an hour So the longest it took me to write a story was 8 hours, the standard work day, and the shortest it takes me to write is about an hour an a half depending on the story or idea, so for the shortest it'd be like $18 which isnt bad but if it takes me any longer that number very quickly gets up into the holy shit thats expensive range like that 8 hour story thats 96 now thats probably a 20+ish page story 10K words in the format i write in. My longest story ever was 24 pages and almost 12k words and took just over 6 hours to write I had full "Artistic" Freedom for that piece and was able to just make shit up as i go along. And here is where i run into the issue, i truly believe you shouldnt work under the minimum wage of where you live but lets say it takes me (god forbid) 24 hours to finish a work piece thats fuckin $200 smackaroo's for what could end up being a stupidly short story, and im including edits, fixes, etc as if i was being paid i'd want that piece to not be an utter pile of trash dumpster fire shit like my stories usually are and the longer it takes me to write the more i get paid. I've seen some writers charger per word usually in cents so like 2-3 cents, thing is, thats flat rate ish, and a 1500 word story or so is $45 and i can write that in like half an hour...my usual 6000 word stories would be $180 for about 2 1/2 hours of work... where if i was hourly that'd only be like $30 so do you see the massive difference this can cause? Im veyr confused because i feel $30 is a bit to cheap but 180 is way to fucking much, where is the middle ground? Where the numbers say $90-100 this would also include editing/word check etc which i feel could be fair, but also is my shitty writing worth that much? Like people will fave my works and view them. But not all that many in all honesty, like most of my recent stories havent even breached the 500 view mark, now each story gets about 10 faves and i just dont feel thats enough to charge so much, but if i spend idk 3 hours writing a 6,000 word story an hour to edit an hour to fix spelling/grammer thats 4 hours of work that'd be $48 at minimum but again at 90 that'd be almost double so $24 an hour something that would be amazing if i needed quick cash.

I might legit need to open for comms here soon if i didnt make enough money this pay cheque for rent and i seriously might need several hundred hooman monies and if i do the $90 for my usual stories that'd only be 3 ish stories and i could do that in a day if i so choose but if i did hourly that'd be literal days like 3-4 days of writing and editing etc in a time span that wouldnt allow it so im just...idk i guess im asking you peeps how much im worth or how much you'd think would be fair? Most writers charge around the 3cent/word area and people pay that weather you think my writing is worth that idk...
