Not sure if I will be of a huge help for a contract position but feel free to send a PM. There are also quite a few threads in the Wiki covering freelance contract negotiations.
A possibility of getting back to real work making giant robot monkeys and such rather than puddling away on dull freelance gigs would be nice. And a pony.
Just so you know, I saw you post in the freelance section as well, but this section is for employers to post available jobs, not for people looking for work.
well, as for a year ago i was only freelancer, if you see the list of games I've work with, 70% of it are not credited with my name. http://hugobeyer.carbonmade.com/about
