[Mr. Wilson]

What time does the article need posting on Friday? Are we talking by 10 AM EST or by the end of the day?

Should the pay rate be $0.04 or 0.04 dollars per word ($40 per article)?

As written it is 0.04 cents an article. 0.04 cents = 4/10th of a penny = $0.40.

 

[Morrus]

The pay rate is four American cents per word.

Thank you for the clarification Morrus.

Critical Role Season 2 Only*

Darn. So you mean we can't quickly write up 115 past episode recaps for a quick $4,600?

That is a good question, especially as episodes can run to 11 or 12 PST. That would be some late nights if trying to get it out for the following morning.

There's nothing quick about Critical Role! I'm already 3 episodes behind!

-- Episode summaries and recaps
-- Illustrative screenshot(s)

Something that would be very helpful would be links into the video stream for certain key moments from the episode.

Something that would be very helpful would be links into the video stream for certain key moments from the episode.

Preferably with post-editing to add the equivalent links for the Youtube version once it goes live the following Monday.

Friday morning, the earlier the better. In theory, I would like to have the article posted mid-day my time (I'm Eastern Daylight BTW).
