Artist Looking for Writer [LGBTQIA+ Story Focused, Collab/Profit Share]

[Ritlua]

Quick Note: I have apparently replied to too many of you in the first 24 hours and have hit my quota! Not ignoring any DMs. Apparently I have 19 hours until I can send any more messages. If you want to follow up on anything, please email me! (Who knew this was a thing? )

Hello! I'm looking to collaborate on a webcomic with a writer I jive with. I'd love this to be more of a collaboration, but I also understand time is valuable, so I'm open to rates. I'll start out with some honest truths and then get into the meat of it!

1) I work a full time job. This won't be my full time gig, but I want to make it happen!
2) I'm picky in what I want to spend hundreds of hours working on, so please do not take offense if I pass your idea along.
3) I'd love to gain a friend out of this, as well! So I'd love to know a little about you / your interests / looking for someone over 18.

Project Details / Pitch / Sample
I have an idea but I'm also open to something completely new. At the end of the day I'm looking to write a webcomic that's based around a story. I'm a sucker for a romantic storyline, but I want it to be natural growth, not the focus.
I'm a sucker for fantasy. I'd prefer to have male protagonists.

Paid or non-paid? Collaboration? Partnership?
I'd honestly love this to be a collaboration. If this gains traction / a Patreon, etc, we'd split profits and turn it into a partnership!

Skills you are looking for / what you are looking for
A mature writer who is willing to collaborate a bit on the story, but overall drive the direction and be a place to bounce visual ideas off of. Please include some work, especially if you've collaborated with someone in the past (or still are). I also have the worlds worst imposter syndrome when it comes to art, so someone who can also be a bit of a cheerleader is appreciated!

**Schedule/scale **
I'm open to a shorter story to start, or a story that has "chapters", if you will. An area we COULD stop, but a place we could continue. Again, I have a day job and I've never created a long-standing comic before. So someone who can be flexible with me is very appreciated.

Contact info
Please email me or reply here. (Or both!)

You can find a little about me on Ritlua.com. A few examples below on what I can do. I'm a comic noob. Bear with me.

Thanks for reading! Looking forward to hearing from you!

I don't need an artist, but your art is absolutely lovely! If I had a story that wasn't more fantasy focus, then I would love to reach out.

[Ritlua]

That means a lot! Thank you!

[ReaperKing]

thank you for the opportunity. I will leave the link to my work below. It's an action fantasy series. (is it okay if its not LGBTQ?) If you like it then you can contact me in my tapas account and we can have further discussions. It's also a gig I wanted to try so it is nice seeing someone telling the same criteria I wanted.

This seems awesome! Unfortunately not quite what I'm looking for, but thank you very much for reaching out!

Heyy! I'm a writer with some published works (please check out my linktr.ee for that). I write mostly romance and fantasy stories. In addition to the ones linked in my linktr.ee, I'm also currently working on a romance/fantasy story on Tales, so I already have some things I'm working on (I'd call that my full time job, even though I'm also a full-time university student ) That means I wouldn't be available all the time, but it's all about planning and talking for me. If I know you'd want me to work with you every Sunday for 4 hours, I can make time for that.
I'm also currently working with someone else on a visual novel. I started as a beta-reader to bounce ideas off but now it evolved into really helping out with my own ideas, getting the story ahead and as a "cheerleader" to keep working on the project
If you're interested, we could talk a bit in a pm or Instagram/Discord?

[MovieNut14]

Hrm, I'm tempted but I'm also busy with other projects. (Your art's very good, BTW.)

[ratscout]

I'm always so tempted by these, but I'm also afraid of never having the time to work on it, haha. XD Anyway, just wanted to say: Your art is lovely, and I hope you find a magnificent writer to help you out~!

[littlelilylee5683]

This is SO tempting, but I just don't know if I'll have the time. I also work full time, work on my own novels, and I like to have a small life outside of that. ^^ BUT, if you're schedule is flexible and you're interested, message me. And if you're not, also cool. Good luck on your project!!

I usually write romance/family, both stories I have on here are LGBTQIA+ and male leads. I am currently working on book two of a fantasy series, I just haven't decided how I want to publish yet, so I'm open to fantasy as well.

(I have a completed short story as well, which is neither romance nor fantasy.)

[Ritlua]

You're so sweet, thank you! I appreciate it nonetheless!

[Ritlua]

Ahh, thank you so much. <3 I completely understand and appreciate it!

[Ritlua]

Whoops, this site Ui and I are not getting along, so apologies if you get two notifications! But, I'm not sure why it won't let me send a DM (maybe too new of an account), but I would absolutely love to have a conversation to see if you're open. Seems I can respond to DMs, or an email (ritlua@outlook.com) works!

I should be going back to work after lunch, but I can't stop reading The Magpie's Death!

[Freemints30]

I mean I write LGBTQ+ stuff by default. I currently working on a book abliet with 3 protagonists. Abliet the first act we are currently on is in a female POV. The next two would be in the male POV. All romance subplots are slow burn and only really appear in the second act onwards however

and a child friend comic, but I can guess that is not what you are looking for. Im a full time university student. We can collab anytime thou.

I mean good luck in you're search and I hope you find a good fit on the forums.

[littlelilylee5683]

Love it when your novel stops people from doing what they're supposed to.

Sent you a DM.

Hello! I'm a mostly fantasy oriented writer, but I play with other genres- I'm always a gay romance writer, though most of my stories don't feature romance as the sole motivator.
This is my main project: https://tapas.io/series/Blood-Moon1
I have a rough script and some panels another artist made for me a while ago!
And this is my romance novel: https://tapas.io/series/Touch-OG

I'm willing to work on new ideas or adapt mine, and I also have a series of collected one-shots if you wanted something very short to start with! I'm also a VERY good cheerleader, I used to have a cowriter who often had huge crises of self-faith lol

[ResarDoodles]

hi there. I have a few ideas that I think fit what you're looking for. and if not then I can always come with ideas that may fit because tbh I have too many LMAO. and if by the end of the day we might go with ur idea we can adapt to that as well... dm me if you're interested, then i can give you a pitch sample. hope you are interested : D
