And I guess the other sad thing is that written content is not worth nearly as much online as it is on the net. I've been paid $700 for a 1500 word story published in a women's magazine, but in the online adult world that same story is worth about $20. Obviously that's not the exclusive rate, but it gives you an idea of how much the going rate might be.
The rates listed at Custom Erotica Source

have a 1500 word custom written story at $125. I don't think that site has been updated for a while.
Oceania used to charge quite a lot for her stories but she doesn't seem to be doing it anymore.

The Erotica Readers Association can give you advice on how much to charge as well.

Thank you so much for your reply and all the helpful info, even if it is a bit disheartening.
I've seen your name around the web frequently; you're practically an icon.
With your encouragement, I'll post to ERWA as well. From "listening" in on the group's mail, it doesn't seem as though they've got "porn" experience, but hopefully they'll surprise me.
