Hi!

Ok, as owner of a small personal graphic & Art business, role player, gm, as well as creator of a webcomic i started thinking... and my thoughts over the past 2 weeks have been this: (READ IT THOROUGHLY BEFORE COMMENTING PLEASE!!!!)

Would the world of comic creators, authors, writers, gamers, rpg'ers novelists, comic artists, mangakas and artists be interested in an accumilative comic project? Enough so to make a site and get it rolling?

Here's my ideas thus far:

1) To offer a place where the above mentioned can become a community to pull their ideas, talents and hopes together in connected story lines. And be a good place to go to when passing time reading comics!

2) To offer three accumilative ideas: The first being...
To accept a team of "Story Board Masters" who concieve the general starting plot of a comic, recruite "players" into the comic and oversee the story through as it progresses in plot and art form. How this works is the SBM(Story board Master) advertises for his/her comic/story and accepts those interested to play the plot out with them. As the story progresses the SBM tells their players which panels are theirs to portray in the comic as their characters are introduced and able to react to other player characters as well as the plot the gm weaves through his/her own panels. In short a very accumilative comic of different art styles, writting styles and people which might in the end prove to be rather comical at best...but that's what it's designed for, fun. The SBM can then add all text and edit as nessesary to ensure the flow of pages.

3) The second offer will be for a SBM to allow players into their story/plot as per above, but the SBM takes care of all artwork and panels themselves. Each player joins in bringing their approved character(because this is more serious and the character should at least fit the setting). From there on it's like a rpg in which the players tell the SBM how their character would react, what they'd like portrayed of their character panel by panel for a small "per panel" fee each action. There of course would be requirments to play and if they aren't met the character could then be taken over as a NPC(non-playable character of the SBM's disgression) or written out of the story. This would then create a rpg scenario comic with no deffinitive idea where the story will elad, but the comic will end smooth and professional more or less.

4) The Third offer will simply be to have comic artists offer their artistic services to draw out anyones personal story that wishes to hire them. Each Artist would charge a personal fee and the contract between the creator and artist would not be involved thereafter with the site (other than the welcome hosting of their comic) More or less it would be a place for people with ideas to meet people who can draw for them.

OK that said... do you think anyone would be interested? Are you interested? Lets here it!!! I'm just in the beginning of thinking this out, i'm not even sure it'd be worth it yet.
