    though I've always wondered; how much of that do they need to give back to the venue?

    This reminds me that people pay actual money to commission fanfiction of their characters. Crazy.

    To me it is no different from those that commission others for art of their character. I am a digital artist and some friends would offer me sometimes upwards of 500 usd for me to do some art of their character. I would shutter, personally I do it for free since I enjoy it and it is not my desire to make it a profession. Though people can make a decent amount of money using their skills and writing is just another skill.

    So i can see it.

    Well time to polish off that creative writing degree and get to making side cash. Just got to set my dignity to the side. No Lalafell, and 100$ per story.

    If you ever read through some of it, I think you would find most of it is not penned by someone with a writing degree.

    All the more reason for them to corner the market of FFXIV character fanfics. They already have quality ahead of the competition.

    I don’t think low quality writing is a barrier for success in storytelling. Look at Stephenie Meyer.

    Granted, I think it really comes down to how you measure success.
