Hello~ So I've been working on a BL fantasy webtoon which I hope to publish on Lezhin. But first, I need to finish at least 4 chapters to submit to them. I started it a year ago and the first version was posted on webtoons.
Since then I've been working as a freelance artist but want to focus on my own work. I'm going to redo it so it reflects my current art skills and also want the story to be the best it can be, so I'm looking for help! I don't know what I would call the person for this position so I just listed a wide variety. If you just want to be a beta reader though, I'm cool with that (would be unpaid and you can ignore most of the following).

What I'm looking for:
- engaged and responsive
- fujoshi/lover of BL (feel free to tell me your favs~)
- reads webtoons (duh)
- writing/editing experience
- good communicator
- professional
- trustworthy
- age must be 18+
Bonus Points:
- experience making a webtoon
- art experience
- is willing to help with flatting
- is willing to help with lettering and effects
- knows Clip Studio
- willingness to be involved through the process
This can be either short-term (1-2 months) or long-term, depending on how it goes and whether or not I get published by Lezhin. If I get published, it would really help if you could help with art and lettering. If Lezhin rejects it then there are a few paths I could take but I would probably keep you on board if you wanted to.
Currently, I have nearly finished the rough storyboard for the first 4 chapters (they're not short either), and honestly the stereotype of a shut-in comic artist with no life literally applies to me. You don't have to be as passionate about it as me, but understand this is my livelihood. Also, I've never worked with an editor or assistant before so sorry if I'm a bit awkward. I have worked with writers many times but that's different of course.
What you get:
- Monetary compensation of some sorts. We would have to negotiate it based on the specifics, but I'm really not rich so if you're not somewhat enthusiastic or excited to work on this project I can't see it working . Rev-share is a real possibility as well. I understand a good editor/assistant is worth their weight in gold. I want you to feel like you're getting what you put in and will work hard over the course of the next month to achieve that.
- Experience and future opportunity. If you're someone who wants to learn or has future ambitions with comics/webtoons this might be a good opportunity. Also, I have a friendly personality and am low-key just lonely, so if you want my help with art or something I'd probably be happy to (ah but don't let me use it as a way of procrastinating . . . ).
