Ally> My auctions need to end faster. :<
Tiger> auctions?
Ally> I have some auctions running on Furbid.
Tiger> oh
Tiger> can you draw?
Ally> Yeah.
Tiger> wanna do a comic with me?
Ally> Only if I'm getting paid for it.
Inaki> haha
Tiger> paid with?
Ally> Money, I would hope.
Jessie> BLOOD.
Jessie> It's what she drinks.
TakumFox> o.o
Jessie> Or money. Money can buy blood.
Tiger> i dont have money. i work at mcdonalds and pay for college out of pocket.

Ally> Sweet, precious life juice.
Jessie> Dude. A comic is a /lot/ of work. You're not going to find anybody worthwhile agreeing to do one with you just for kicks.
Ally> Yup.
Ally> I haven't even put out the effort for my own comic.
Tiger> want a writer?
Jessie> Writer, hunh? Let's see some samples.
Ally> Nope. I have my entire story laid out. My girlfriend and I have alot of backstory.
Ally> For our story, that is.
Tiger> eep?
Jessie> You're a writer, you have stuff you've written, right? So let's see some of it.
Tiger> i dont just sit here and write novels
Tiger> i just have basic stories floating around in my head
Jessie> Not even short stories?
Jessie> If you don't have any work completed to show, nobody's goign to believe that you're capable. You've got to have a portfolio.
Inaki> yep
Tiger> Or the one where theres this guy who is 20 years old and walks in on his parents having sex, only to start an argument ending with his father shouting that the mom he always knew and grew up with wasnt his mom, so he goes off scarred for life and gets his own place, and its hard, but he cant bear to live with his parents anymore
Jessie> . . . .
Tiger> yeah.
Tiger> short summary of one of them
Rose> o,o
Tiger> i told you i was messed up.
Jessie> Way to sell yourself as a writer. So, where's the completed work?
Rose> I wasn't here for when you said you were :>
Tiger> There ain't one, Jessie.
Jessie> Then no, there's not a soul alive who'll collaborate with you on a comic.
Tiger> I always wanted to put that in comic form rather than write out a story, which I am too lazy to do.
* Ally stares, facepalms.
* Ally goes to work. Oh, wow.
Tiger> >.>
Tiger> want me to take my laptop around with me and spend my spare time typing teh story?
Tiger> i could sit and tell you about it for a long time
Tiger> i guess i could try to make sense of it in a typed form.
Jessie> You have to be able to write, plain as that. Writing a comic is just as much work as anything else you'd have to write.
Tiger> or maybe i just need to learn to draw
