Re: Why, yes, Associated Content.com. I do want to get f--ked in the rear...

You'd be surprised, there are tons of listings out there for similar pay rates.

Help me out here, but wouldn't this more likely be an opportunity for repurposing existing stories? If you got an extra $10 for a story you'd already written and gotten paid for ... well, I dunno, if you had 50 of those sitting around -- not unreasonable for a veteran freelancer -- that would be a quick way to pick up $500 for a couple of hours additional effort. Which beats the hell out of $0.

Yes, you would need to have retained secondary copyright, I suppose.
