I'm just gonna repost this here:

I think you've gotta stop thinking of this in terms of commissions and fanfiction and look at it from a business perspective.

Giving someone part of a product for one price, and then saying that she can't get the rest of the product unless she pays more (despite the original agreement involving only the initial price), is not good business practice. In the real world, with a real product, not only would customers be pissed, but that business could face legal trouble.

Someone starting a fanwork for one price (in this case, for free), and then changing the pricing after the fact, is more analogous to that than to baking cookies.

On another note, saying "you're all speaking out of ignorance on how fic commissions work" isn't really pertinent to the argument. It doesn't matter how fic commissions work if people are against the idea of commissions in general, and what you are not addressing is why it is okay to sell fanworks. And no, "writers don't owe you anything" is not an argument for why commissions are acceptable; it's only an argument for why readers shouldn't expect any particular person to produce fic for them.
