id probably be tempted to take the money but the problem would be that i cant write things that dont turn me on so all the stories would be horridly shitty...

Am I hungry?
How much cash?
How offended?
In the real world a four figure offer would get my attention, although I will NOT do an story as I've dated a two women who were molested. But for something else everything would have to be decided on a case-by-case defense.

Hmmmmm, good question. I've actually written a long story that had one sceen in it, but it took a long time for me to finish it, and if I'm to give myself a 4 average on all the scenes I've written that scene would have gotten a 2.
I doubt I could do it simply because it would take too much time and I wouldn't be able to write it as good as I normally write. Since I normally am happy with what turns me on, I doubt I could write a GOOD story about something I don't get turned on by. It's not like you used to work fixing Fords and then you suddenly shift and go on fixing Mercedes'.
If I did do it I wouldn't consider it selling my soul and literary integrety, I'd just look at it as a sort of job.

"Distasteful" as in morally repugnant, no way. For example, to my way of thinking any sane person who has children of their own simply could not get their head around themes. Somehow I'd keep identifying with my own relationship with my children, and frankly that is so incongruous with that I'd find the whole idea disturbing.
As in "not my thing", maybe just too - probably not for the money or to be published, but the concept of trying to create a convincing sympathetic character based around such a theme could be interesting as an experiment if nothing more. I doubt if the creator of Hannibal Lektor was really into cannibalism, but I think he pulled off a masterstroke in creating such a character, and making him almost sexy. But I think that that has more to do with literary creation than what the OP is asking, a straight monetary incentive. I wouldn't, and I think it is hypothetical anyway because I wouldn't be able to do the story justice.

I would take the cash, but if it means compromising my integrity and morals, I would have to say no.

I'd be upfront with them, telling them that it's really not my cup of tea but I'll write something in that genre and see if it's a worthy story. If it's publishable, then I'd take the cash. If it wasn't, I'd thank them for the challenge.

I'm living pretty good right now, so no I'll leave the cash. In addition, my intention when I started writing wasn't for publishing & I am quite happy to remain an amateur.

Personally I do not think that a good true writer would be able to write a good story if they do not have a passion. So the publisher would not be getting the talent the writer has.

This is an interesting question. All 18 of my novels are BDSM and none would be acceptable on Lush.
HOWEVER, I have never even spanked anyone (not even one of my kids) let alone whipped, tied up, etc., nor had any desire to do so.
So, marketing policy and personal predilections can easily be separated, for me at least.

I'd probably take the cash. I don't think there's one genre that I dislike enough to say no.
However, as a few people have said before, I probably wouldn't produce my best work if I was being made to write about, for instance, lesbianism* and so how long I would keep the job is another question.
*Note, I do not "detest" lesbianism, I'm just not comfortable writing about it.

There was a time, when I was younger, that I thought there'd be nothing better than to be paid to do something I ;liked. SO I became a musician in the Navy. After fouir years of performing on demand, I packedup my instruments, and did not touch them for six months.
WHen I graduated from college, I was lookign for work, and found nothing in my field. I liked working on cars, so I took a position working as an automobile mechanic. After four years of doing it for a living, I HATED working on cars.
Fourteen years later, after I earned my license as a professional engineer, I thought there'd be nothing better than to do nothing but design storm water mnagement facilities, because I really liked doing that. I worked for ten years, doing nothing but that. Being laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I write for fun. So, no, I would not take the cash.

I write some pretty gruesome horror stories but there are somethings I won't write about. If I can't stand to read I won't be able to write about it.
