Nobody will take you up on it. Pretty much everyone who's ever written anything on the internet has had the same idea, and it never works out. They think people will pay for stories the same way they commission drawings from artists, but the market just doesn't work that way. You're better off looking for people who are actively hiring writers for personal projects they're working on. Even then, don't expect to find much. I managed to find somebody, but it took me years of uploading stories before he was satisfied that my writing style and quality would stay consistent.

People will hire and commission artists because drawing is something they can try to do and immediately know they suck at it. Writing? Anyone can write. They learned how to do that in kindergarten. Why should they pay someone else to do it?

I posted the following on my wall on Scribble Hub:

Make your anime smut fantasies come true!
Let me write the story you (yes, only you!) want to read.

What am I getting at?

Would you like to find yourself in one of your favorite anime worlds, build a harem, or just let your kinks run wild?
Just message me on Scribble Hub. Whether it’s a self-insert or a protagonist of your choice, a one-shot or a multi-chapter story, whether you’re longing for love or the fulfillment of strange kinks (pedophilia is a no-go—other than that, I’m open to (almost) anything).
I’ll make your wishes come true!

Price: €5 per 1,000 words.

If you’re interested, just message me and we’ll work out the details.

Do you think this could cause any problems, or do you think the idea itself is silly?

I find the idea of being presented with different topics and ideas and putting them into practice interesting.

And do you think the price is justified?

From a user’s perspective, I think it’s quite high; but as an author, knowing the time required and the standards I set for a text that someone is paying for, I actually find it very low.

Thanks for reading—here's a peanut butter cup for you!

So, you are on a site with an endless amount of stories for free and try to sell stories? Now, that's just silly.
You think people will commission you, if they could just look up their favorite ship on Ao3? That's just silly.

Seriously, just write a novel an self publish it, if you want to earn money.
Also, consider the fact that some countries require you to register a person tax number, not your general ID, for you to be allowed to issue invoices to customers (I know mine does). So there's that too.

A fiver per thousand words? That's not going to add up very fast. I don't know if you write faster or slower than me or even if you type faster or slower than me but… I'm pretty sure I type less than a thousand words per hour, at least while writing and not just copying. I don't think you're going to earn much of a living wage off that. The real way to make money off of writing is do your time as a fanfic writer to build a following and then transition over to original content and start selling it on Amazon. You earn a lot more money per word when there's more than one person reading it, but you need to be a known name to get any traction. That's the indie scene of course. The real real way to make money off of writing is work for a newspaper or magazine. But you kinda need a degree to get in the door on those ones.

Writing's a competitive industry. Its like being an actor, there's always other talent to exploit

Not gonna lie, that's kinda slow. What are you, a geriatric possessed by a dead sloth?
JK, but I don't think that living off that money was the plan. You don't actually have to go that far. Self publishing would suffice - and even if you don't have a name to yourself, you will garner SOME traction if you manage to do at least some minimum promotion.

I dont need to make a living wage. Id just liek a side hustle. And i am already a published writer. Just not in english.

That's the other thing I meant to bring up. I make $100 per 4000 words, and by professional writing standards, that's pretty much working for peanuts.

I would recommend you remove this part from your self-advertisement, due to potential copyright infringement. And if you post the resulting fanfictions publicly, do not advertise you were paid for them.

That does make sense. Thank you very much!
