Current JA scorecard:
KFM: On retainer - got two interviews in the works plus a potential bonus coming if a proposed project comes to pass. They are donating a computer to me - they had several extra because of the layoffs. It sorely needs an update (running Windows 7) but it's very appreciated.
Immortal Stud: More work, less pay. The initial investor money has run out for my budget so they've upped my position (and workload) but moved me out of hourly. It's like a quarter of the pay. Honestly, I'm amazed they paid me as much as they did for the first issue. I'm committed to the whole series now (6 issues total over several years) as well as some more, but we've discussed my time allocation issues so we'll just see how that goes. I'd be more okay with it if I had a fulltime and this was just a side hustle.
Den of Geek: The weekly Episode Reviews for Warrior Season 2 pay less too - like half price - and they are almost as much work as a feature. They've got October pretty lined up and I don't have the bandwidth to pitch more right now. Same side hustle issue applies here.
YMAA: On retainer - this is moving forward. They are tossing me tasks that I can sink my teeth into and I'm training up on the work management programs that they use. Fingers crossed here.
I'm pretty scattered nowadays. It's like I have to check in with 4 jobs every day. Every single day.
