I'm looking for a writer or perhaps another artist to collab with on a comic/manga project. The goal is to eventually pitch said project to publishers. Currently I'm mainly interested in:
1) Fairy tale and Folklore retellings - particularly those in the vein of Liao Zhai ZhiYi by Pu Songling.
[link] Think "Chinese Ghost Story" or "Bride of the Water God". As seen in my art, I favor Asian stories more but I am open to stuff such as "Ella Enchanted", "The 10th Kingdom", "No Rest For the Wicked", "Shrek", etc.
2) Genre of:
a) romantic-fantasy: mainly eastern or in a east + west hybrid. Unfortunately for the time being I am not very interested in Tolkien-esque types of fantasy.
b) romantic-comedy: i.e. fairy tale parodies
c) or romantic-historical with a shoujo feel. My favorite history eras are Victorian, Edwardian, Heian, Tang Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, 20's-40's, Regency (Jane Austen)...
And well... what I want is pretty much just a good and compelling romance story - beyond fluffy shoujo type of stories. (I hate to admit it but I am a hopeless romantic).
3) An interesting and or quirky female protagonist. Doesn't have to be a butt-kicking heroine, but she shouldn't be a passive wallflower. I like female characters who may not be strong physically but have an inner strength.
4) Or a story revolving around Asian-Americans, perhaps with issues dealing with assimilation, stereotypes, etc. E.X. - Picture Brides
5) Rating should be something from G to PG13
Basically I just want a story that I'll fall in love with and be willing to put time and effort into.
I would also prefer it more if you were located somewhere in the USA and are over 18.
What I do not want to work on:
1) Epics, anything beyond 1-3 volumes
2) Sci-Fi (due to lack of skill with drawing machinery, robots and mechanical things)
3) High School melodramas. The protagonist can be of High School age, but I don't want to work on a project revolving around Prom, Student Council, etc.
4) Large Casts of Characters
If anyone is interested, send a note, or reply here with a short summary of your story and/or some writing samples.

If you don't mind my pathetic white-girl attempts to blend Western and Asian cultures, I would definitely be interested. I need to practice writing more and I love working on comics. (Also I would love to pitch a collab to publishers since I plan to live off of writing.)

Let your Brain chew on this for a while. It isn't mine, but come talk to me about it.

I'd say my expertise is romance and poetry. I've written really short prose and a few short stories.
I'm interested in helping though, even a little bit. Give ideas, or critiques or something. :]
Here are some samples. Enjoy!

A man's time is limited. One should take advantage of one's youth to fulfill his ambitions.
Well I'm also interested in Fairy-Tale parodies or retellings with a twist from Grimms, Perrault, Hans Christian Anderson, etc. Stuff like "The 10th Kingdom", "Ella Enchanted", "Shrek" (without the potty humor tho), and so on.
Hmmm, most creator teams I've come across tend to consist of a writer and an artist. Speaking from experience, the more members you have on a team, the harder it is to manage, especially if you live on different sides of the world. Assistants on the other hand are a different matter of course.
