Before you start...Tips for "Writer looking for Artist"

[DokiDokiTsuna]

As an artist who actually goes into these threads looking for potential collabs (and is usually disappointed...) I'd like to add some suggestions:

• Offer to start small, with a one-shot comic or some other brief illustration project. To me that shows that you're mature and you're willing to test the waters and work on a potential artist-writer relationship, rather than just grabbing the first artist who says 'ok' and throwing them headlong into a 3,000-page saga.
  Think of it like online dating: it's the same process of talking to complete strangers and trying to convince them to give you a chance to be part of their lives. And when you get a match, you don't immediately start planning the wedding...you usually invite them for a date first, so the two of you can get to know each other and get a feel for how you might become partners.

• Give a sample of your writing, PLEASE. Besides a blurb/synopsis of what your story is about, it'd be nice to have just a tiny little taste of how you actually write (especially the dialogue, since that's a comic artist's lifeblood).
  In my experience, it's pretty rare to come across even a decent amateur writer, let alone a good one. People always say it'd be easier for an artist to find a writer because there are more of them...well, more doesn't mean better.
  I was one of those artists, and although I did get a couple bites, not one of them had the skills to pull off the kind of story I was pitching (it was just a comedy strip, btw). The scripts I wrote and threw out were better than some of the auditions I got...
  TL; DR, you aren't getting the benefit of the doubt. ^^; At some point, you're gonna have to prove that you have quality content for someone to illustrate.

If you found your artist...Hold them tight in your arms. Kiss their forehead. And whisper in their ear: "You're the best thing that happened to me. Please don't leave me." You should feel grateful having finally found someone who wants to work on your series and with you. Treat them nice and good things will happen to both of you.

You are everything to me, without your great talent and wonderful friendship there would not be any reason for me to continue. Thank you for your time and your belief in me.

Also my greatest gratitude to @Grheonsh and @yondoloki @frostey and the remaining of the team from "Dungeon Fail" I'm still very happy for the great work we all did and I hope that someday it will continue when the right lead artist shows up.
Hold on? @DokiDokiTsuna are you looking for something to do? Could you be the one to bring back Dungeon Fail?
(Ya I know, I just skipped the whole deal about this thread, but some of us in this forum already know what kind of work we do and what we stand for.)

^^; I don't know...to be honest, I'm just open to join a project that sounds interesting to me. I've passed on plenty of solid-looking projects simply because they weren't my thing...but if you want to make a pitch, you can always DM me.

You deserve an award for this post. Can somebody pin it to the top?

Thanks for post thing. A lot of the these guidelines are very handy. I would not only split the revenue with any artist I work with, but share the credit for the creating the comic too.
