I've been thinking about this topic a fair bit lately, for reasons. ¬_

I believe freelancers should be paid for their work. Taking work on commission is the same as freelancing, isn't it? My opinion is that considering it tacky to accept money devalues fanfiction and the writer's talent. (Fanfic aside, I admit I get the shakes because "I can get that free anywhere" is what's killing my industry.)

What's your industry? (Freelancer, here ...)

[sultrysong]

I'm a copy editor at a metro daily and freelance myself (as an editor and writer) at a community monthly.

I'm a copy editor at a metro daily. So much respect for people who manage to make a living freelancing.

Why hello! I didn't realise you followed this LJ too!

[sultrysong]

Not always. But I'm a fan.

Also, apparently, I kind of suck at replying technology. Sorry for the weird anonymous posts and things.
