I would do TAG without pay, and did so for years. But the extra hours I 
spend working on it now are a lot more palatable to my husband because I 
am paid. The "SAF" or "Spouse Appreciation Factor" is not to be taken 
lightly.

If that was the only criterion, then of course, no. But if a qualified 
person was hesitating because they just can't justify taking on one more 
thing, and a little cash would push them over the edge, then maybe it's 
a good solution. PLUS, I think that if someone is taking money from us, 
it makes them accountable to us for completing the job in a way that 
volunteerism doesn't.

How's this: a flat fee plus a small percentage of the profits for the 
convention, same for contest.

Problem is, they are too. No one said, "Bill, go take care of that," so 
maybe he thinks we don't want to have shirts.

At the time the t-shirt thing came up, I thought it was too soon to talk 
about shirts that could be made in a couple of weeks. I don't even 
remember the price difference between Bill's guy and mine anymore. I was 
  planning on looking that up.
