I think this whole idea sounds really cool. Sadly I cannot offer my writing skills for this. But I am very interested in the things about films and comics

[Mister Sympa]

OMG, COMICS!

 

Any artists interested in contributing?

I actually need an artist for a Kickstarter project, graphic novel thing. Anybody here an artist?

[DeadChannel]

I think Randall Munroe lets people print xkcd if you ask nicely. However, it would be cool to get some original content

!

I, personally, would be very interested in that, Caelwyn.

this could be an interesting idea. Perhaps we should get a few artists/writers together and decide on what the comic will be about, drawing style, storyline/themes, etc.

That would be so cool. I'd love to write video game reviews (because I find game reviews so horribly written!) and I also have a million hours of free time.

[Happymaker]

great idea!! I have no idea what I could contribute but I'm open to suggestions from your side  

[SpleenBeGone]

If anyone would like to write an article, just go for it and send me the result.

I'd like to give it a shot, if that's cool.. potentially both writing and drawing. The thing is I don't have a lot of free time, so it would be very much on a trial basis for me. But I do like to do comics, but I'm not very good. Here's my tumblr anyway if you wanna see what I can do, but I'd very much be keen for the idea of a team to discuss style and plot etc.. tbh i'd just be there to learn from you guys who are better than me, if that's ok.

I'd totally write for this.

I definitely think we should have a story played out over many issues (aka each article includes a chapter) so we can release a story relatively quickly but still have time to sit down and discuss the plot without too much rush.

If you'd like to see some of my writings, you can open these.

(Note: I write poetry much better than I do stories, but I'd be willing to write both).

A Polished, Ornate Door

Open the ornate gates, what do you see?
I see spinning stars and dancing galaxies.
Lower the drawbridge, what do you find?
I find a beautiful place ravaged by time.
Unlock the palace door, what is inside?
I spot rolling green hills stretched far and wide.
Look into my eyes, what lies within?
Inside lies a boy with patience wearing thin. 

What do you see? What do you find?
What within do you think lies inside?

Thoughts Are Stars Unable to be Fathomed into Constellations

From spinning galaxies colliding in intergalactic bursts of light traveling millions of miles every hour, to dying stars fueling the birth and rebirth of new civilizations and planets, of new life, of new beginnings, from the infinite multidimensional plane of the universe that's the palate for these swirls of light and heat
To the intricate workings and cognitive enigmas of love, the springs and cogs of joy, the blackened cogs of sorrow, covered in soot
To the formation of billions of these unending universes that, in time will flourish or wither...
The distances between these universes are huge, yet traveling these wide expanses take trillionths of billionths of seconds, and the celestial dance between universes of ideas, galaxies of concepts, black holes of love and despair, quasars pulsing pure energy everywhere, everything coming together in a spectacular array of light and heat...universes within universes spin and dance in my brain and neurons fire as galaxies die, pathways travelled as planets are born, and nerve endings stimulated as supernovas fueling them...all of this for one idea. Millions upon millions of universes are born and die in my head, and because of it the universe doesn't seem so small..after all, billions exist in our brains.
Yet, in all of that, these dazzling arrays of light are compressed into infinitesimally tiny spaces...it's not surprising that something's lost in the process.
It's amazing to think that so much is in our heads, that so much happened in our heads for us to realize so much happens in our heads, that  so much happens for such simple ideas...the sheer amazement that should be felt is painfully lacking.
The perfection of the stars is lost on paper.

Something's lost, between the beginning of a universe, the birth of new stars and systems, and between our final actions. It's lost in translation.

I have entire galaxies in my head, but I speak mere stars.

A Recipe for Failure (Use with Caution)

Start with a bowl of laziness
And some lack of motivation
Mix in with some carelessness
And a ton of procrastination.

Add just a pinch of dumb
And just one dash of cheap
Prepare for what may come
With a profound lack of sleep.

Keep cold for a month
And don’t forget some mean
For now your recipe is done
And will shatter all your dreams.

I'd love to do some creative writing as well. If I can find time.
