You can now find three stories of mine online for free:
Rhetor's blog: Kickstarter: 3 days left, 69% funded
Sat, 06/19/2010 - 14:27 — Rhetor
My Kickstarter project ("Are you the agent or the controller?") is 69% funded, with three days remaining.
I am awestruck and honored by the support I have received. A few days ago one of my friends publicized the project on Facebook, and two brand-new backers joined the gang as a result!
But that last $791.22 is going to be crucial.
Rhetor's blog: Fanfic Contest. Paid.
Mon, 05/31/2010 - 14:28 — RhetorJohn Scalzi, Wil Wheaton and Subterranean Press are offering to publish, and pay professional rates for, a winning fanfic entry based on the weird illustration appearing at this Web page:
http://whatever.scalzi.com/2010/05/30/fanfic-contest/
This is a benefit for the Lupus Alliance of America.
It's also seriously twisted. Have fun.

Rhetor's blog: Another twitterfic
Wed, 05/27/2009 - 03:07 — Rhetor
I'm going to get another twitterfic posted, this time on Thaumatrope. They tell me it'll run on December 5, 2009. (I'm impressed that they're booked that far in advance!)
Rhetor's blog: Twitterfic on Nanoism
Fri, 05/22/2009 - 21:26 — Rhetor
The twitterzine Nanoism is going to publish (and pay me for) a 140-character (23 word) fic on May 29th. You can see it on their web site or on Twitter.
The pay is only $1.50, but that amounts to 6½¢ / word, which is more than the SFWA "pro" rate.
On a similar note, the only money I ever made in the professional theatre was 25¢ a guy tipped me when I was ushering at the New Jersey Shakespeare Festival. I think I still have the actual quarter...
Rhetor's blog: Writing for money, or...
Tue, 05/19/2009 - 02:58 — RhetorAt Parakleitos's suggestion, I am cross-posting my LJ entry, so that we can discuss it in this forum.
Samuel Johnson said, "No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money."

I've posted an analysis/rant on this subject on my LJ page.
