Firstly this project will not pay money upfront. It's just an idea that I am developing into a graphic novel. I plan to self-publish 'chapters' episodically so any money being paid would be on sales, until there is a whole novel to publish.
The story so far... (This is a rough idea NOT the script.)
---
Set in a modern world the story follows the life of, Jacob, a late 20's early 30's male who is struggling to keep his job.
He wakes up one morning and hallucinates a medieval warrior attacking him from his mirror.
His wife takes him to the hospital where he is checked and found to be under stress but ok. His wife then faints and is checked. She is dying.
His wife begins to wither away in hospital and the stress gets to him.
He wakes up in on a battlefield with swords in his hands fighting against demonic looking creatures. When the battle is over he is approach cautiously by strange looking people who claim he is their king.
They explain that his memory has been stolen by a curse and that he will so turn rabid and kill the whole town. Jacob is banished to the wastelands with the quest to seek out those who cursed him.

There is a lot more to the work (I don't want to give it all away).
Currently the prelude, which focuses on Jacob's relationship with his wife and his real life is almost complete. The later story, which focuses mainly on the fantasy world, is under development.
The project has no foreseeable timeline.
If you are interested and willingly to donate time with the understanding that in the future this will come to fruition please email images of your work to.
