Yeah. I'll admit that I've never seen anyone offering fic commissions get many takers in the first place, but they've always offered standalone works that are written for that specific commissioner. So while the writer can, if that's the agreement, post the work elsewhere etc. all the story elements are tailored to that one person.

I agree that there's no way that writing individual chapters of the same fic for different people is heading for a massive clusterfuck. Delivering an unsatisfactory paid product has a whole different set of issues to delivering unsatisfactory free content. And if the author already has a plot in place, then how much of their own requests can feasibly be incorporated anyway?

Still feels less like a well-thought out plan and more "Hey, someone said they'd pay for this fic, I can make a few bucks here!"

Yeah I agree. I feel like someone told the writer "You should get paid, because you're writing and writing is hard work and writers get paid" but the legalities behind this being someone elses works didn't cross their mind or they don't give two fucks about it.

It probably would have been better for them to make up a weak excuse and said they can't do anymore writing until they raise money for x reason and crowd funded rather then go this route. Probably would have got more money too that way.
