那是前些年，人们在网上发作品是为了找个地儿展示自己的才华，写的人免费写，看的人免费看。现在可不是这样了，发作品的大部分是和网站签约的写手。一部作品就是三章定生死，前三章写得好，点击量大，人气高的话，就会有人找他签约，签约了就会规定每周写多少字，完成多少工作量，然后根据付费的人数拿稿费。

That was a few years ago. People were publishing their works online as a way to develop their talents. The writers wrote for free and the readers read for free. Nowadays it's not like this at all. Most of the writers publishing works have signed contracts with the websites. A work of three chapters is all that matters. If those first three chapters are well written, the traffic is a lot and the response is great, then some people will look to sign a contract with him. After signing the contract, he's committed to writing so many words per week, completing so much work.Then he gets royalties according to the number of people who pay.
