i am making a manga.. of course i am the artist and creator of the story but i dont have a script nor do i have the skill to make it
so uhm.. could you possibly be my assistant in writing my script (it wont be your doing solely, because these characters come from my head and all have their own personalities id of course gotta help you and appropriate the dialogue.. and of course credit will be given to you for your help)
i wont give plot details out right here (but i will if you agree to help me, duh) but i guess i should warn that it is a gory, somewhat heart-tugging, emo-y, piece of story xD and it has lotta do to religion and death and magic and things and id like if you were knowledgeable in those areas.. at least just a bit

thank you and i hope someone would agree to help me ^.^

disclaimer: no money is involved in this, for you or myself but if i were to publish this work and make money of it, a percentage would be shared with you appropriately; but for now, both of us are doing this willingly for free :meow

I think that you're not fully aware of how much effort and time must be putted in this kind of project. Not mentioning skill.

I do have some knowledge of making horror style short stories, which contain some level of gore, but I have to say,
it's written in Dutch, I can give you the files of the stories, but if you can't read Dutch you can still auto translate it,
and try to make sense of the story like that.

As I am interested, I would first want you to know how I write, and those horror short stories are part of it.
I do some poetry too and adventure - sci-fi stories.

This is actually my first story in english

It's a work in progress, but I have decided to renew it.

And if you decide to make me your assistant, I will help you in the best of my power,
but to let you know, I work 10 to 12 hours a day, my weekends are free though.
But I don't want to give the impression I won't write after I come home from working,
it's just that it might take some time, not a year, not month, just give me a deadline for each chapter,
and I will see to it that it's done.

But it's only if you're interested in me becoming your assistant, but you first need to see my writing though.
So let me know something.

yes i read that before ::D ish very good
uhm well im guessing you read manga yeah?
i can help with pacing and timing (how fast characters talk and when) but im not good with what a character will say or how theyd respond
i being socially awkward not really good at talking and so i can write the story and everything very well but dialogue is difficult for me to grasp

It's not like I read manga, but I read books,
and as far as social contact goes, I do have some friends in real life,
which I sometimes go out with,
but I do think I have the feel to make a socially accepted interaction, between 2 or more persons in a story or manga as you prefer.

We could always test it with a short manga, that's how you'll probably will know, who's best suited for you to work with.

Some people find it easier to draw the art first and then fill up the dialogue, according to the art,
Some people like it the other way around, first writing a dialogue and then drawing the art according to it.

It's just trying to find the right way to go about it, once you have that,
it should be a piece of cake, I think

At least you have your way of doing things, which is good,
that will definitly help you a lot, with what you want to create
