I am looking for someone who can help me write and also with whom I can share ideas. I am working on a piece called Debitum which takes place in the dwarf galaxy of Sagittarius. If you are interested please email me at: austinmulka@gmail.com answering the following questions.

-Why are you interested in being a co-writer?
-What unique skills do you have apart from all the other writers?
-What is your favorite style of writing? (Anime, Sci Fi?)
- Kirk or Picard?

In addition, please attach a writing sample in word or RTF format

A degree in English and a general knowledge of theoretical (sci fi) physics would be preferred but I'm willing to give anyone a shot.

Sample of work:

PAGE 1 Introduction: Taking place in 2215 A.D. In the small galaxy of Sagittarius Elliptical. PANEL 1 Caption 1: Planet Debitume, 2215 A.D. Narration 1: This is Debitum, or what remains of it. Narration 2: It was not always like this, the planet, my planet, once flourished with life. Debitum stood proudly as a symbol of peace and justice to the universe. PANEL 2: Narration 1: Debitum was a confederacy, its power was shared equally among sovereign territories. Order was established by means of small militias throughout the planet. Narration 2: That all changed when the assorted militias formed an army. Mislead by the castigations of Commander Ag, the soldiers declared totalitarian rule over their people. PANEL 3: Narration 1: Myself, I am Lux, defender of the galaxy, a member of the Sagittarius Defense Core. (SDC) Narration 2: We were called many names: gods, guardians, protectors, but in reality, we were dictators and tyrants.

...Caption 1: Sagittarius Galaxy of Defense - 2200 A.D.
SDC Director: If I could have your attention, I would like to move on to new business, starting with the newly gathered intelligence on the third planet of the Milky-way galaxy. Cera: Sir, ‘Earth’ is making advancements at the quantum level, they have recently figured out the constant at the subatomic level is other than the speed of light. PANEL 2 SDC Director: What is their status regarding negative energy? Cera: They still believe particles can spontaneously appear from nothing, no advancements on the physics of particles in warp drive; nor how to replicate the effect at the macro level. PANEL 3 SDC Director: Well then, I see no reason to worry. Shall we move on to concerns?

Comic or story

Is this a story or a comic? If it is a written word story this is kinda the wrong place for it.

HIs sample is a script - he just didn't format it right so it came out as a wall of text.

Always check your formatting when you C&P something.
