After years of reading yuri, I want to contribute a bit back to the community by making a one shot manga of my own. I can draw pretty well, but my writing and storyboard skill are pretty bad. I'm looking for a writer who's interested in working with me. I had a few who offered to work with me, but they disappear for weeks and months during the process. Should I give up on the idea?

*fu autocorrect, it doesn't know how to spell yuri"

I would try it but I am a crazy slavedriver that would probably kill you if you don't translate my thoughts perfectly statisfactory

I don't think it would be posible draw the perfect scene. It would require a lot of time to keep redrawing each panel. That's the different between art and writing. Art takes more time to create each scene, while in writing, it can be as simple as a sentence. I work and go to college at the same time so I want this to be a fun and no hassle experience.

New yuri is always welcome, hope you find someone to help you :) good luck.

Yurt manga sounds amazing.

I guess it would be something like northern version of Otoyomegatari

Or maybe a more modern version of Earth Girls, but with Mongols.

Watch Cave of the Yellow Dog everybody

Haha I was going to send the exact same picture with the same bad joke but I refrained myself x)

I don't think I'll be able to find anyone to help xD Been searching for a year ish now, I end up finding very picky writer or good easy going one that disappears on me. I might go solo and have pretty art but a crappy story line for the manga lol. But it' pretty easy to please most yuri fan, just lot of cuteness and fluff.

I would be very much interested in seeing how those people actually worked with you, what they contributed and how.

We usually talk through email, they would give me a brief summary of the story. I'm not too picky regarding plot, so I usually give them the okay to write the script. The script would contain dialogues and scenes. During scripting stage, I would provide them with sketches of the main characters. But for some reason, during the scripting stage, the writer would disappear on me for weeks and months and never to be heard again. I don't like to push or harass people, so I just let it go instead of spamming them with emails asking their where about.

I have a lot ideas but, my visions are too clear and I feel like nobody but me can draw it the way I see it. In normal collaboration I don't think I'd be too picky, but with stories I really want to make I just don't see it working this way. I probably could come up with something totally new though. The question is how exactly you want to do it and what kind of criteria you have?

At this point, I don't have any criteria. I'm just a hobbyist artist that want to contribute back to the yuri community since there's not enough out there. And I totally understand why writers are picky when it comes to drawing the perfect vision. But at the same time there's limitation, mainly I can't read or see into your mind. Another would be time. One time, this writer made me redraw a scene 5 times T.T Just see this a a fun opportunity to create something with me and what will become of the end result.

5 times? what the fuck? Properly conveying much?

The writer was just SUPER picky. The art was fine. They were nitpicking little details, and when I changed it, they decide they want me to redraw a whole different scene. I don't know, it just wasn't going to work out from start.

Well I was asking more, what you prefer to draw. Comedy? Drama. Also any preferences about characters? Gap age etc. School setting? College/work? How many pages you are ready to draw? I don't mind coming up with something simple, but I'd prefer it to be something more mutual. Also having some general direction would make it much easier for me to focus on something specific xD

I'll list what I'm good at drawing and you can pick and choose:

Romance, Drama, Slice of Life, Fantasy (witches and girls with magic), Princess, Age Gap, Time Skip, Childhood, Animal Ears, Interesting Cultural Outfit, Pretty Scenery, Disney Plot (is that even a thing? lol) Where the MC are challenged but are rewarded in the end.

That's all I can think of currently.

And I'm willing to draw as many pages as it takes for the story. I don't like rushed ending.

Sorry for taking a while to reply back, work got in the way.
I don't know how irc works so I'll just post my email on here. It' annie_d14@ymail.com.

Please don't disappear on me too xD

And regarding the arts, I'll show you my other work one day. I do a lot of art streaming when I have time, so you can come watch me draw the manga when we start.

I started art when I was really young so my works are scattered everywhere, on different art sites and stored on multiple computers. I need to gather the arts into one site one day XD
