I can't remember what I was paid for it but it was equal or close to what I was making for original work at the time since the editor came looking for me. Mind you, it's not making me anything now and if it hadn't been work for hire it still would be.
Yes, it was equal to what you were being paid for the original work, and you didn't go looking for it -- it came looking for you, so to speak. And you pretty much wrote the book that you would write anyway, if someone had done the world-building for you, and it didn't cause you the stress that, say, FIRE'S STONE, entirely your own work did.
Not that I was there and reading it chapter by chapter while you wrote it or anything...
