I want your stories.

[KiaAzad]

As a writer, I feel as if I would rather be paid. I couldn't give a damn if you make my comic/short/story/novel into a reality. Bluntly, I'm never going to read it.

My offer isn't really aimed at writers. It's not a 10k words commission. You can imagine it as people gathered around the campfire, sharing their dirty stories to pass the time.

KiaAzad asked Fox_. politely if he'd like to share one of his stories with him.

''Don't worry, I'm not a writer either. I'm just curious if you'll write something I can profit off, with absolutely no financial incentive in return."

''Ah, I see,'' said Fox. He then took out the lube and passed it to the man. ''In that case, why didn't you say so?''

Assuming the position, Fox lined himself up against the nearest desk and spread his cheeks.

''Don't be gentle. Imagine we're around a fireside... creating art for the sake of the gooners.''

Gently, Kia slid himself inside Fox and took what he wanted. There was no struggle. No confusion. He took everything, and Fox got nothing. But in a few weeks time, Fox would at least be able to turn around to one of his friends and say:

''Some guy fucked me for my story and profited off it, but at least he did me the favour of lubing me up first.''

Good story, but not my cup of tea.
You're a bit too protective of your ideas. As somebody that's been in the game industry for a decade, I can assure you that nobody wants your ideas even if you give them away for free.
I'm doing this not because I can't think of anything myself, or can't prompt AI for one, it's because I like to make connections with others if I'm going to put in the effort and investment to make something.

That must explain how I've made my entire living for the last 6 years in this industry.

An easily offended, pretentious dev who guises behind ''charity, making connections and good will'' in order to fleece free content from writers. What else is new?

Again, I'm not talking about 10k words, just the ideas. I know writers get paid for writing, even I charged $300 for 5k words a couple of times wen my client asked for it.

Here's an idea I'll give to you for free.

When you're claiming altruism, offer 10% of the profits from the comic for any ideas you'll use. It'll help you avoid these kind of confrontations in the future.

This reads like you're doing people a favor... by taking their ideas and giving them nothing in return. Might wanna do a little rewrite my man.

There is no profit, it's a venture, and I'm paying from pocket. If you want to share the costs, I'm all for it though.
