LinkedIn gave me a "Your profile matches this job" tag on a listing for a Werewolf Romance Story Script Writer--the details include that you need to be "very familiar with the OMEGAVERSE"--and I'm like, okay, LinkedIn, you're getting a lot /closer/, but, uh, not quite? Thanks? - ThreadSky

(I have written werewolf romance, but it was an optional subplot; and I am, god help me, familiar with omegaverse conventions, if largely by reputation; and I can do style imitation of another author, as they apparently want; yet I somehow still do not think this job is a great fit for me.)

Also they're paying $75/chapter (they supply dialogue and plot outlines, you write the rest) with an expectation of handing back three chapters a week, so that's... Well, I'm sure it's a great fit of a side job for someone! Someone else.

what an industry

Since this is apparently my one allowed "complain about job-hunting" thread for the day, I'll also note that for all I remember people sneering about the Communications major as a useless/generic B.A. choice, when I was in undergrad... Lots of these listings are asking for that. Ditto Journalism.

...I mean, they seem to mostly want those people to do SEO-driven copywriting, but still.

Take that job.

Alas, I do not think it would make them, or me, particularly happy. Nor is it even offering enough money to be worth my time, unless writing one chapter is an /awfully fast/ process.

I didn't realise there were job listings on linkedin asking for omegaverse (fics) stories XD
That is so funny to me

I have gotten so many ads in my phone games for endless banal variations on werewolf romance--first person narrator is a sad abused werewolf girl forced toward/chosen by the gruff possessive alpha!--but the omegaverse version, that's new on LinkedIn. At least to me.
