Disclaimer: I am only able to draw comics in September and December.

Hello, I hope you have seen my sequential art (link above). I am looking for a writer who is able to write in Victorian Oxford English. I want to illustrate a story that would look aesthetic for my portfolio, hence I am looking for historial fantasy. However, I will consider other genre, as long as it is very aesthetic. Historical fantasy will take priority though. You can get the idea of what my ideal story is in my sequential art sample I provided.

Length: I am looking to draw about 3 episodes, each 15-20 panels long. You do not have to script panel-to-panel, it is optional.

You must write in clear English, however if your English is a little off, I can help proofread and provide suggestions to improve your sentences. (For example, some people confuse "peek" or "peak" with "pique". I can understand the sentence, and can help correct it proper) I follow the British spelling, so please follow it as well.

I will respond to all of you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

What is Victorian Oxford English?

It is a historical manner of speech during the Victorian era. It is very polite and formal. Here are some phrases to help you grasp what it is, "Good day, my good sir" "fancy meeting you here" "shall we, mademoselle?"

Some clarification

Genres: I do have some preferred genres, namely light BL (like China-censored kind of BL), Shoujo, Historical, Supernatural, Fantasy. However, your story need not be of those genres. I will strictly not draw romance, action, mecha. Any other genre is fine.

What aesthetic I'm looking for:

Hello,

My very first project, Monsters In Plain sight, would probably be a decent fit for what you're looking for. You'd have a degree of artistic license when portraying the monsters, which might be 'aesthetic' enough for your taste. Or maybe not. The whole work is 7 chapters but there's definitely a little room for condensing here.

Hi thank you for your interest. I like your work but unfortunately i'll have to reject it. The English is great, really. However, I am inept at drawing action, and the story does not interest me.

I'm up for the job, since I am also only able to focus on short projects at the moment.
I have not published any works of my own yet, but if you intend to test my skill, just give me a prompt and I'll write a short sample on it. Looking forward to your reply.

Do you have any preferred genre? Any sample of written works? It's alright if you don't have any past works to show.
I like Chinese and Japanese culture. I love light BL (like China-censored kind of BL), Shoujo, Historical, Supernatural, Fantasy. I will not draw: romance, action, mecha.

It is entirely possible I might be capable of fulfilling the requirements of your project; however, I confess I to some confusion as to whether your request is for a bit of customized work, or you seek some previously accomplished work to which you shall provide illustrations.

Awaiting enlightenment at your earliest convenience,

The Scriviner

Both are fine! As long as I get to draw something aesthetic

Ordinaryaverageguy 2021-09-01 03:41:16 UTC #8

Setting the roleplay aside... what sort of "aesthetic" are you envisioning?
I haven't any Victorian story bits already written, unfortunately, and to consider writing something from scratch I think I'd need some help to understand what you'd like (since you've rejected one story already).

euphisa 2021-09-01 03:50:11 UTC #9

Here are some images I from the internet, to help you get a grasp of what I'm looking for.

Ordinaryaverageguy 2021-09-01 03:52:14 UTC #10

Eh? You mean love scenes or any romantic story line? 'Cause love makes the world go 'round, you know.

EDIT: I see the artwork you'd like to do. LIke @yoakeryosan, I think some sort of prompt or rough outline or summary of the story you'd accept is in order.

euphisa 2021-09-01 03:57:23 UTC #11

Hmm bromance is fine. Whereas for straight romance or GL, I rather not draw a romantic story line. Love scenes such as out of the blue kisses, flirts, etc are fine, as they do hook readers.

yoakeryosan 2021-09-01 05:25:37 UTC #12

Same here, I'm also into Japanese, South Korean and Chinese Cultures.
I'm capable of writing any genre, except psychological horror and the like. Mecha isn't really my type either.
My preferred genres would be isekai, romcoms and historical (mostly Asian history).

yoakeryosan 2021-09-01 05:27:57 UTC #13

The story you're going for seems pretty good.
I'm interested in joining.

euphisa 2021-09-01 06:02:54 UTC #14

yoakeryosan 2021-09-01 08:36:01 UTC #15

Waiting for a reply.

euphisa 2021-09-02 10:10:56 UTC #16

Hello everyone, I will be picking a writer soon. You can still offer to take up the work or pitch me your story, until I decide on a writer.
