New Adventures With Abraham Lincolns


Spent most of yesterday on cleaning, which means the R&T and ONR chores have been moved to today. It's a surprising amount of work just moving things around.

Daisy seems to be doing better with medication. I carried her down to the beach today and she explored enthusiastically for about twenty minutes where before she could barely stand up for two or three.

Oh, and I've been meaning to tell you: Clickwheel is going to be commissioning work at an average rate of $5 a panel. Sometimes less and sometimes more depending on mitigating circumstances, but $5 is now officially our "standard rate." Where relevant, the "standard royalty" is 25%.

This is not a replacement for what Clickwheel's already doing, nor will it ever be one. This is an expansion. The company's always going to serve adapted, creator-owned webcomics, but for some of our upcoming plans, it needs a few properties we can call our own. Clickwheel's already taken steps to commission a few pieces which I'll tell you about in the coming weeks.

If this kind of thing interests you, well... you know how to find me!

Comments:
Just to make things easier to explain:

Will these properties be submitted to Clickwheel, for Clickwheel to own, with the idea's originator working on the property. Much like the Tokyopop deal?

Or will this be like Marvel and DC where the artist/ writer will be working on someone else's creation?

What are the compensations for the property's creator? What are the creator's responsibilities? If I had an idea for "The Amazing Cup Of Tea" but didnt want to do anything l;ike draw or write it, do I still try to sell the story concept to you? Or is this pay for actual work only?
 
While I'm at it: Does $5/panel extend to the writers? It's an art specific rate
 
Sometimes the idea would come from the creator, sometimes from Clickwheel itself. And yeah, this is pay-per-work.

The $5 per panel generally breaks down to $2 for writing and $3 for art in the case of teamwork.
