Heyo! If you’re looking for rates on my media writeups, you’ve come to write the right place. Here’s a breakdown of what you can commission for a variety of reasonable prices!
$30 per episode of notes-style show writeups (informal structure, taken as I’m watching)
$75 per episode of full essay-style show writeups.
$450 for a whole 1-cours season of notes plus a writeup of some kind (likely a review-shaped piece, since I can actually produce those reliably regardless of my feelings on the work, but this can always be discussed).
$150 for an essay-style movie writeup.
Here’s info on more potential purchases.
If you can think of anything else you’d like me to do for money, I’d be happy to negotiate! I’ll also be looking to integrate some of this with Patreon, as well as set up ways people can contribute smaller amounts towards a larger communal request (like through this page!). I feel like I’m getting into the swing of freelance work at this point, and am excited to see whatever else you all might want to throw at me! You can contact me with any requests at nicreamer42 at gmail dot com. LET’S WRITE SOME STUFF.
Heh, I guess I’ll just have to wait until you decide to watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes on your own… (110 episodes!)
(Half-)joking aside, good luck with commissions! I may not always agree with you but I always enjoy your notes/writeups/reviews.
Thanks!
So, if we wanted you to review, say, Hyouka or Penguindrum, how much would that be? And is it possible to (forgetting the word here)… to buy it as a group?
I mean, sure, if necessary, I’ll she’ll out a couple hundred, but this would be much easier if everyone who wants to see you do it could pile on money together.
Crowd-funding a Nick review’s a great idea. I’d be willing to chip in a little cash if it were structured that way, but can’t afford to throw down for a whole show by myself.
Maybe we could set up a running list of “viewers choice” shows with cash commitments next to them? Could rank them by the current cash commitment for easy tracking.
It’s would be great !
Yeah, I’m planning to implement a system similar to this, and create a page where people can see how various shows are currently doing.
I want to know what you’d think of Brotherhood, but I don’t care too much about Brotherhood (I think it’s good though).
Getting enough money to make you watch Death Note though…
Hyouka or Penguindrum would cost a couple hundred more than a series half their length, since, y’know. And yeah, I’ll be working to make communal systems available ASAP.
What would the rate for VNs be (depending on length, of course)?
It would almost entirely depend on the length of the VN, but if the length is similar to a book, I imagine the rates would be similar (or maybe a bit less, since I wouldn’t be looking to critique from the perspective of someone trying to help a writer improve).
I see now, your Evil Plan of not watching good anime longer than 24 episodes has all culminated in this… Truly, a master stroke.
All the shows I’ll want you to watch might be slightly beyond my price range, though. Might have to see what happens with the crowd-funding payment thing when you get that figured out. Unless I can pay with installments of rounds of alcohol instead?
I’ll try to get the crowd stuff figured out fast, then! And sorry, I will not be swayed by liquor THIS time.
How many manga volumes constitutes a novel (if you’re willing to go that route as well)?
I feel like this is a bit too much, as well as the fee per episode. I do have great confidence in your writing but not this much. Have you considered doing a system where all your patreon’s chip in voting every week and/or month on which piece should be prioritized next?
I haven’t implemented that yet, but I have made it so people can communally work towards writeups, so no one has to foot a particularly crazy bill. You can see how that’s going over here:
