Look for author to write a long story. $80 usd

Dear all authors,

We are looking for a author that will be interested in writing a long story for us.

We understand that it does take time and I do appreciate your work and want to credit you for it.

Therefore we are willing to pay $80.00usd for this story.

The story will be about a young newlywed wife getting humiliated by her husband's dirty old boss, then their dirty old landlord and their dirty pervert old neighbor.

The husband's boss will be 70 years old
The landlord will be 75 years old
The old neighbor will be 80

They are all ugly and short and skinny.

The story will start with a young couple (28 husband, 26 wife) just got married, then they moved to a new city or state. After a long time finding a job and almost used up their money, the husband then finally found a job at one of the local business company as an assistant. His old boss first met his wife when his husband a important document at home and asked his wife to bring to his office.............

We hope there will be many humiliation and while her husband is around or near (at their house or the old boss's office)

We will give more details about the rest if anyone is interested.

We hope someone will be interested.


Thank you

Jeeze....80 whole USD for a story? And you want a long story....you've got to be kidding....

We understand that it might sound little for some authors, but this is all we can afford right now. we're sorry.

 

[Matadore]

Not bad...

Gee. Have you ever written a story? It' a little more difficult than reading one. Shoot, it's even more difficult than typing one. If by a long story you mean say 50,000 words, then just typing it would mean that you are offering less than $10.00/hour (assuming you hired a top rated professional).

I may be mistaken (if I am, could some of our more experienced authors correct me on this), but most authors compose and transcribe their work at much less than 100 words per minute (WPM). Most would be content to bang out about 20 WPM! Even that is a ferish pace if we consider proof reading and corrections. I don't even think that Asimov was that prolific.

Falling to fly is a very talented and skilled writer. If you can get her to do this, you are very lucky and I would even venture that you are taking advantage of her, but that is her decision.

You know, flattery gets you everywhere with me.... lol. Actually, I really will have to discuss this with the would-be client, but I've written stories up to 10000 words for less. Right now it's a matter of let's see how much money I can set aside in savings so I can start devoting myself full-time to writing and school. Eighty bucks is eighty bucks- and the writing comes easy.

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

Um... there really aren't many Stephen Kings or John Grishams floating around here. Offering up 80 bucks for what the vast majority of the people here do for free isn't that bad at all.

I mean, really, get off the high horse.

 

[Guest]

Actually, I thought this was a great deal.

"Long" story, in my mind, wasn't novel-length, just 5 - 8000 words or so.

I've gotten $20 - 30 for stories of that length.

I didn't bite because the described situation does not arouse or interest me.

And I agree with Joe here (do I hear angels singing?) We're posting works for free here, why not cash in on a story?

Exactly. I can write anything, lol, so the description doesn't bother me. It'll be a good story for the person who wants it, if they decide to go with me, and I'll make a little bit more money to put in the kitty.

[Quiet_Cool]

Actually, and I don't think I say this very often, but I disagree with Joe on this one. I write for free as opposed to the $80.00 offered, yes, but I write my stories for free, which makes a big difference to me. That they came from my mind, and heart (and soul in some people's opinions, I'm sure, but let's not go there) and freeing them from inside has its own more than mild reward. Having to be restricted by anyone's else's expectations isn't good for the creative spirit.

It's settled for me. The high horse stays.

Of course, $80.00 might help buy the proper feed for said horse, but that wasn't the point...

Well, since I have four of them looking at me reproachfully and can't sell any of them until Mid-January...

I'm cheap.

LOL - I would hope not since this is hardly the forum! However, on your second point, I agree. Still, since I personally write customized stories for much more than I do for my posted free stories? I will stay on my own personal vanity train of "this is not a lot considering the failing USD". Nonetheless, I am certain there are those who'd love to do it for the mere pleasure of the fact that it's more rewarding than IM sex.

Best to you all.

 

[Pure]

i agree with joe. a penny or two a word is not necessarily unfair. nor uncommon. recognized writers can get three or five times more [or more].

kkit: how long a story are you asking for!

--
note to quiet cool.

i don't think you disagree with Joe. he did not criticize those who write for free. 'why not cash in?' is a question *for those who want to make money.*

incidentally, the desire to make money does NOT [necessarily] fatally taint the integrity of the work of art.

 

[Joe Wordsworth]

I mean, even considering QC's assertion that writing for personal satisfaction and the freedom to do so without limit is where the value lies--how often do the author's here subject themselves to perfectly arbitrary limitation for a change of pace or fun?

Every contest, every exercise, every friendly chain-story... it seems the creative sometimes are /more/ inspired by the limitations or challenges given them than they are by perfectly free-thinking.

For my bag, 80 bucks is a good deal. And, they're American dollars, which are worth, like, eight or nine of any other kind of unit of currency on the planet in spirit. They're Freedom Dollars.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

They're Freedom Dollars.

I tried that line with my bank teller, but the SOB would still only give me 76 cents of real money for each U$Freedom Dollar!

Have not yet read QC's assertion. However, does one truly give their best when writing for nothing on Lit or ar they merely recounting fantasies that have no other outlet other than Lit? Just a question and in which case, by all means get paid one cent a word.

I agree that in writing a contest, excercise or chain, one is a bit tied by boundaries - and an excercise in generic conventions is the best way to be avant garde and go beyond the expected ... most Lit athours do not deviate. It is an interesting discussion.

Writing for someone who "expects" a lot (has details and wants custom) will also want a lot for their $80 or $25 or $325. The question becomes more about what a writer thinks they are worth. If a writer thinks they are worth $80 for a custom story when most witers are getting paid over $300 for a "LONG ONE" then ...

Most custom jobs are negogiated privately- as this one will be, I'm sure.
If someone isn't one of the pertinent parties, then realistically, they can't say what the terms are. The price may be quite reasonable for what they want, and only the author they choose and the client themself can really speak with any authority on the issue.

And most of the time, both client and author keep their business to themselves. I'm sure the client is scoping out all of the available options from authors and negogiating for the best possible deal for what they want. They seem to know exactly what they want, and that's always a good place to start when commisioning a story.

I never said that a writer does not get what they are worth.

 

[Liar]

Can't see what the fuss is all about. It's an open offer, you either take it or leave it. No reason to huff and puff about it.

Some of the more prolific writers here could whip up a decent story along those lines in an afternoon, depending on length. No literary masterpiece perhaps, but I doubt that's what they're after. So if you have the time to spare, and no better offers on the table, why not?
