The ones I browsed were not offering that, but just basic creative writing, and I still think that 2000/day is a bit low if all you need to do is write from your own imagination (even if it needs to fit a client request). But I may be the odd one in that regard. 500 words/day, however, seems low for someone expecting to do it for a living. But again, I know very little about the greater industry, I only ever wrote short stories on the side for fun and what people felt like paying. At 1000-1500 words/hour, I never got complaints, but again, I wasn't writing for hardened editors, just people wanting a short story now and then for their own amusement. Maybe I sold myself cheap, but I don't feel bad about it, to be honest <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I clearly need to study the industry a bit harder before offering any paid jobs. If anyone has good places to start that study, I'm still all ears. What I got here in a few days has been VERY useful, but also shown me that I need to have a more complicated strategy for this project hiring than I first expected. Nothing is easy, dangit!EDIT: Found <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/embassyoftime/gallery/56361755/shorts" target="_blank">some of my old free, just-for-fun work</a>, people are free to take a look and judge my writing harshly <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
