Writer Looking for Collaborator for Graphic Novel/TV Show

[MrEvilside]

Hello, everyone!

I’m a writer looking for an artist to collaborate with on a 10- to 20-page submission to this competition: http://www.myriadeditions.com/competiti ... omic-cuts/

It’s a great opportunity to win a publishing contract with Myriad Editions and a deal for a television adaptation with Roughcut TV, a major production company in the UK. Any profit made would be split rightfully between me and the artist. In order to maximise our success rate, I have devised a story that would work well for comics and television alike, as it’s structured into self-contained episodes featuring the same characters, like a sitcom, but it also has an overarching narrative informing each episode.

I already have a full outline in place for the first episode, which would be the 10 or 20 pages of material I intend to submit, so I estimate the script will take me about five weeks to complete, possibly even less. This should give the artist enough time to turn it into sequential art before September 30th. Please, find below more details on plot and characters. If you wish to see my portfolio of previous publications, feel free to have a look at my website: http://nicatomasiello.weebly.com

If you are interested, please get in touch with a comment, a DM, or an email sent at veronica.tomasiello@myport.ac.uk. I will be happy to share the outline of the first episode with anyone who would be willing to take part in this adventure.

Thank you!

Logline

An unsuccessful wannabe chef signs up for a role-playing game about thieves and superheroes, in which the winner is granted one wish.

What is This Really About?

It’s the story of a group of misfits who take shelter in an imaginary world, where they can be whoever they want and achieve their ambitions.

What is T&T?

T&T stands for “Thieves & Tights.� It’s an international live-action role-playing game in which Thieves challenge Tights – superheroes, that is – by stealing something from their territory (their house or workplace; anywhere they have a strong connection with). To win the challenge, Tights need to defeat Thieves by any means necessary within 24 hours, so long as no one dies. The winner earns points; the loser has to accept any punishment chosen by their opponent. Those who accumulate 100 points unlock the game’s main prize: the opportunity to fulfil one wish of their choice, whatever it may be.

Characters

KELLY PRICE (LASER MUFFIN), 23, a nerd with a wild imagination and poor organisational skills. She has a real talent for cooking and specialises in Japanese food, which she became passionate about as a teenager due to her interest in manga and anime. However, she’s disorganised and impractical, hence why she’s stuck doing the washing up and serving tables at Cafè Mirage, and why most of her attempts at cooking end in disaster.

CIGAR (?), 25, a Thief whose name no one really knows. She’s always complaining about her high IQ, as her intelligence prevents her from fulfilling her dream of becoming a secretary. Her overbearing parents forced her to become a rocket scientist, so she’s overqualified for any secretarial position. Hoping to win T&T and have her wish for a lower IQ granted, she leaves her job and adopt her Thief identity in her day-to-day life to hide from her family, who would otherwise demand that she go back to her stellar career.

MARTIN FATMAN (CHEFORDINAIRE), 45, the baker and ice-cream maker at Café Mirage. He thinks of himself as a great chef instead of an average café cook, so he takes any chance to bask in his own self-satisfaction, for example exploiting Kelly’s childish admiration. However, he also considers her his protégé and treats her almost like a niece. He’s not a bad fellow; he’s just full of himself.
