Författararvode

MODERERING

Jag vill på förekommen anledning påminna alla om hur ett forum fungerar, och hur det skiljer sig från en chat, som till exempel Discord. På en chat är det inte något problem om ett samtal utvecklas naturligt och ständigt byter ämne. På ett forum startar man diskussioner om specifika ämnen, med specifika rubriker. Det är praktiskt eftersom det hjälper andra forumdeltagare att hitta ämnen de är intresserade av så att de kan delta i diskussionen. Det här systemet kollapsar när alla bara skriver precis vad de känner för i den tråd de råkar befinna sig i när de kommer att tänka på det.

Den här tråden handlar alltså om att betala arvode till författare man anlitar. Vill DU diskutera något helt annat som du kommer på medan du läser den här tråden är det bättre om du startar en ny tråd än om du skriver här!

Tack så mycket. Glad sommar!
 
To the original question, 7 pages back :) :

Over the years with NWG, I have:

Done some things that were compilations of different peoples work, including my own. In some of those cases I basically split up the text and awarded each person a percentage of the final sales price. If your work was worth about 15% of the book, then you got 15%.

Done some books where I had created the original game and another person then created an updated version (Usurper 2, Laserstorm 2). This was a 50/50 split.

Offered a person a fixed fee for a fixed thing. Ive also been paid in this way. When I did the solo bit for the Mutant minis game, they wanted solo mechanics that didnt exceed x pages and I gave them a figure that'd cost me and they agreed. That was 100% mechanics.

I've done a little freelance editing for people, I don't remember what I charged them, but it was half way between friendship prices and "proper editor" prices for little scenario zines.

The stuff I create for Modiphius is just paid by the word. They know my style and I have a pretty good eye for how many words things take. When they offer a new project, I outline what contents itll include and that serves as a basis. They know this is going to be maybe 5% fluff text and the rest game stuff, sometimes a bit more fluff depending.

If I need art, its always just been whatever the agreement was. Im not a big haggler, either the artists demand is what I can afford for the style or it isn't and Ill find someone else. Though for wargaming, Ive also relied a lot on miniatures photography.
