Well, hi. A long time ago, I wrote a novel, and I figure now is the best time (more than ever) to pitch it out and bring my idea to life. I thought I would reach out here and see if I could collaborate with an artist to get this story out to the public.
Any sort of profit obtained, though might be difficult (cross our fingers), would go 80/20. So 80% the artist and 20% me. This is unpaid, and I understand art is extremely demanding, so this is why I made this ratio the way it is. I have seen some 70/30, but I reckon the illustrator should get more.
Here's the premise of the story... it takes place in medieval times in the world of monsters and magic. There are six kingdoms over the content of Otrya. Alice lives in the largest one, known as Gala. There are two sides to the kingdom, the east, and the west. The east is where the poor folk lives (Alice is a peasant) and the west is where the kingdom lies as well as the rich and magic wielders.
Alice is murdered, but she has been giving a choice by the devil himself. She has 40 days to kill her murderer or she will be the new ruler of the underworld. She lives in the body of a Shigroi (a Romanian vampire), and she must feed on blood to live.
The story shows Alice and her companions fighting to figure out who murdered her, why, and how she can beat this contract before she is permanently in hell forever.
Interesting I reckon.
Obviously, I would send the whole plot (full of twists and turns) if you are intrigued at all. I will be developing the script soon if anyone wishes to take an interest.
I would like to schedule an upload of once every other week or once a month, considering how long art takes. I would prefer it to be a set schedule, perhaps Sunday at midnight. Please note I work on the east coast and am in college, but I am dedicated to making this work if you are willing to dedicate your time with me.
The story is looking to be quite long, about 20-30 book chapters in length (around 90k words or so). I can provide a sample of the script that I have so far to anyone who might be interested. Feel free to just contact mre.
Feel free to send me a message if you are intrigued.
Look forward to working with y'all!
