@darius @aurynn interesting. I’d not have expected those rates to be true even 20 years ago.

I agree that $50/article (even $100/article) is too low to get anything but “junk”, no matter how short. But $1000+/300 word article rapidly becomes an expensive publication to produce (and so needs high paid circulation or some other funding).

FWIW, from posts earlier this week I think aurynn is looking at closer to the fanzine end of the publishing scale (ie paid, but not high paid).
