Looking for Asexual Allorom creators! (closed)

[kip]

Hello!
My comic has an aroace character. He’s pretty cute.

With pride month coming up I thought it would be a good opportunity to answer some of my reader’s relentless questions (webtoon’s fanbase continue to be very into BL with very little understanding of the lgbt+ community, haha!)

So I’m hosting an open & honest QNA about what being Ace and/or Aro means, and about what it’s like living in a hyper-sexual/romantic world while being aro/ace, and answering some direct questions in an informative, non-patronizing way.

I want to have at least 3 creators participate just so there’s a bit more representation of the community. I’m something of a “gold star” aroace, so I really need help from you guys, the community!
Alongside me is also going to be a good friend of mine who’s a more sex-neutral ace, and identifies on the aro-spec.

Ideally I’d like to have another creator who’s asexual and alloromantic (aka, not aromantic), but even if you’re simply aroace like me or somewhere else on the spectrum, and want to participate, please feel comfortable applying.
This is true for you aromantic allosexuals, you rare breed you.

Lastly, I do ask that everyone applying is over 18 years old!
This is so that I can personally feel comfortable asking them questions of a more sexual nature (after all, it’s still a qna about sexuality!)

Thanks for hearing me out!
If you’d rather reach me privately, my discord is kip#5488 .

Awe, he looks cute indeed!

And what a great idea, I'm all for more awareness.

I don't know if I can be of help, as I'm more of a "I don't really feel the need to label what I am since I simply don't know, but I do know I'm not straight"

And I'm also a SO-less person who has been so all my life, not feeling sexual attraction towards anything or anyone. (Or romantic for that matter) But I keep feeling like there is a 'yet' inthere somewhere, which is why I don't feel comfortable labeling it, for my own sake ^^

So if you can use that, I'm all for helping, and if not, I just wanted to say I like your idea

[kip]

That's totally fine!
I am looking specifically for aro/ace creators, part of what I want to talk about is the community and being part of it, and coming to the conclusion you're aro/ace (which is of course different for everyone) so I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable putting you in that aro/ace light particularly as you seem uncomfortable with it yourself. Also, I don't quite want to conflate aro/ace-ness with being questioning/label-less since it is ultimately a label and a valid one. I hope you understand, and please don't take this to mean you don't have a space within the community if you want it haha

[Lazu]

Oh, nono. This is of course entirely fine. I just wanted to help in case you had a hard time finding someone, and as I said, I like your idea, and spreading awareness, so I don't take it personal or the wrong way at all ^^

And yes, I can see how it would be a problem in that case. That was of course not my intention

In any case, I hope you find someone^^
And good luck on the project!(Or what to call it)

Asexual creator here, I would maybe say im grayromantic. I make a fantasy comic where the main characters are in a queerplatonic relationship.

I'd love to help even though I'm not fully alloromantic, if you need it.
Either way it'll be interesting to see how the QnA plays out!

[Kaylim]

I'm panromantic asexual and all I write is pretty much queer romantic short stories.

I'd be interested in joining, if I could get a bit more info? Is it a 'live' q&a or just responding to written questions from your readers and you upload the answers in a new episode?

If it's live, will the q&a happen on discord or some other platform? Will it be text, voice, or video q&a?

It's a good idea though, to host a panel on this topic for Pride week, thanks for thinking of it.

[kip]

hey!
it's going to be more like a written interview, not live or anything. i do want us to get together and pick questions and talk between us while forming answers since we will be representing something bigger than our own experiences i think
its going to go up as an update on my comic but we can discuss crossposting if you want to

[Kaylim]

Okay, excellent! I'd love to join if you'll have me
Chatting beforehand would be good. I have discord as well so I can add you on there.
I write a novel so I'd probably just create an episode linking to your episode so my readers can go see the q&a

[Random_Guy]

Aromantic Asexual here. I write a series on Aromantic Stuff to spread awareness. So that more people know about the Aro spectrum and new Aros can find it and know that they aren’t alone.

At this point Aromantic/Asexual research is half my life.

[PixelEnchanter]

Hello! Biromantic ace here! I run a comic on gender exploration and experiences, since I'm also nonbinary, but I'd love to participate in the Q&A if you're still looking for people!

[Random_Guy]

Missed this the first time around.

[PixelEnchanter]

I just noticed that you added your discord in your post. Would you like us to reach out to you there as well? Or add ours so you can reach out?

[kip]

by the way in case anyones wondering why im not replying directly to people and "accepting" them for the project it's because i haven't really figured out How to do that yet (all of you just sound lovely and want to give you all a platform to talk about your experiences ). I'm thinking about it and I'll probably talk to my ace friend and come back with a solid reply, but please don't stop yourself from 'applying' if you want to just because others already have!

[kip]

oops i somehow missed this, it's just for people who want to participate but maybe don't want to out themselves here for some reason or another

[ZatchZ]

I'm asexual and romantic as all get out, but I can't say that I'd be a good candidate to explain what's going on

[Freemints30]

I'm aroace, thou I'm 99.9% sure I'm aromatic and around 60-70% sure I'm asexual, so I'm doubt I can participate but I would still keep an eye on this to see how it goes seems like fun and stuff.

My current mystery comic doesn't focuses on it but I have it canonically in my head my mains are on the romantic asexual spectrum which would only get obvious as they get older(ie. at my pace a really long time ) and I would mostly focus on the friendship that bonds them. But anyway this seems like alot of fun.

So i'll keep an eye on this thread.

I'm asexual and I have very strong moderate views, I could definitely help contribute with a different perspective you rarely see if ever within the asexual community. I also speak out against AVEN/david jay and other people within the community who are actively harming it which many asexuals don't talk about, I have a lot of experiences from being out for almost 10 years. I have wrote and finished several comics and such, some with lgbt/ace characters.

[ninjashira]

I'm a hetero-romantic asexual who has been in a happy successful relationship with an allosexual guy for about seven years now, we've been married for the past three years. I might be able to bring something to the discussion in that regards. I didn't even know a person could be asexual until I was well into my twenties, so I had to go through a lot of experimentation, failed relationships, and personal growth before finally figuring out what I am and that there's not anything wrong with me.

Whether I'm accepted or not, I really appreciate you going out of your way to raise awareness and answer questions for people who might not know asexuality exists, or know how it works or how it differentiates between a low libido. So thank you for doing this!

[Cronaj]

Don't know if you're still looking, but I'm alloromantic ace, not sex-repulsed, and I work on a fantasy/romance webcomic. I'd be happy to participate. I really want to see more ace representation

[BeautifulDoubt]

if you need more people. I fit the Ace but Hyper romantic bill <3
Love the idea to get it out there more ^^
