What I am thinking of doing is the main character who we will call player1 for now has to work many odd jobs everything form selling cakes to making eechi manga. while this is happening a twist in faith comes to p1 during christmas when a random girl who we later find out is a succubus. comes and starts living with him and his siblings. When they first meet she has little to no memory of her formerself

Try to work on your idea more. Ask yourself what do you want to convey to your readers, how the whole thing should end. Because for now, to me it sounds like every existing shonen/soft core porn comic trope I heard clumped in one. (Having tropes is ok, but instead on playing on familiar stuff, try ffering more unique angle to engage your colaborators and later readers)
I wish you the best of luck.

Okay I'm interested.

Examples:

Lips moved with silent voices screaming in the darkness. She smiled with tears in her eyes. She took a step back, dust billowing around her feet. They ran towards her mouths agape. He reached out, she fell back, his fingers grasped air. He started going over; another grabbed his shirt. The y watched her disappear into the void.

Alexandra wiped the tears from her eyes. The vision hadn’t changed. No matter what she says, the vision stays the same. Peta tilted his head. “It’s alright Peta. I’m fine,” he cooed softly, “It’s time. Will you tell the others?” He bowed then took flight. She watched him disappear, silently contemplating their future. There’s still time to change it. She hasn’t made up her mind yet. Right? She took a deep breath then slowly walked back to the house, never looking back.


I have a secret. A secret I have told no one. A secret I will tell as the tale itself emerges. I have two journals. In one, I will write my life in this world. The other, will hold my adventures on the other world. That’s right, I said other world. I am not from this world. I do not belong in the other. I have no place to call my own. No heritage to claim. No path to follow. So, I will forge my own path. I will create my own heritage. I will make a home to call my own, whether in this world or the other. No one will stop me. Nothing will break me. I will succeed. –Page one of Alyssa (Aliciea) Baaschs ‘Journal.


The first journal was found lying next to her outstretched hand. Most of her blood had seeped out of her body through a hole in her chest. There was no murder weapon to be found. To our disbelief, the coroner said a sword or some other large blade had killed her. However, there was no sword to be found. Her death was a mystery. Discovery of her journals deepened the mystery.

Some theorize Alyssa suffered from Multiple Personality Disorder. Others say she was just crazy. A few however, took her words to heart. I, the Author, am one of those people. I knew Alyssa. We were friends, we grew up together. Alyssa was not the kind of person to make up stories or to tell lies. She was honest to a fault, a little naïve, and she was more stubborn than a brick wall. There was always an air of mystery about her. Her eyes, even when smiling, held secrets. I remember her disappearing off the face of the Earth for months at a time. No one knew where she went. No one had seen her, heard from her, some didn’t even notice she was gone. Her disappearances held no pattern. You would never know when she would leave. That is why I believe every word she wrote down is true.

Alyssa had no family in this world. Her Guardian’s passed away during her freshman year of high school. Strange enough, she listed me as her next of kin. I could not refuse. It was an honor really. The day after her funeral I started cleaning her house. She left it to me. However, I was not quite ready to move in. Her death shattered my heart. I couldn’t even plan her funeral. I thank my mom for helping me through it all.

I started in the attic and worked my way down. It took me a month to reach the basement. I didn’t expect to find anything as I found nothing out of the ordinary in the rest of the house. However, in the basement, on a desk in the corner, laid a journal. The same passage in the first journal was written on the first page of the second journal. On the last page she had wrote an incantation with instructions. At first I thought she was into black magic. Then as I read on, I found the truth.

Alyssa was born in a different world. A world connected to our world. She visited it often; sometimes for months at a time. Other times it was just a weekend visit. Her last trip was in fact her last. In the second to last page she wrote: I fear this may be my last trip. I will die on either side. For that reason I have written down the incantation and recipe to travel to this world so that one day someone, anyone, will have the courage to finish what I have started.-
After reading her journals I decided to write this book. I have talked to everyone who knew her, in both worlds. Through their words, her journals, and what I know, I will piece together her story and write it down for all to read. All to hear. All to feel.

I have inherited her homes. I have walked her path. I have taken on her heritage. I will stop those who stopped her. I will break those who have broken her. I will succeed where she has failed.

Our story needs to be told. Our words need to be read. Our hope needs to be felt in the hearts of everyone. Otherwise, all would have been in vain.

My story begins where her story has ended.

My name is Demetrius Lyne.

This is our story.


“They happen less now.” If only the voices would leave.

“Pain?”

“Tolerable.” Sometimes.

“Level?” Everything has a level.

“About a four. Maybe a five.” More like a ten, but I'm done with pills.


“Less than last week.” She took her glasses off. “I’d take you off, but I'm assuming you already stopped taking them.” She smiled.

She was right.

“No anxiety? Panic attacks? Confusion?”


Every night. “Nope. I'm fine.” Lies. Always lying.

She placed her clipboard on the table next to her. “Anything come back?”

Memories. If only. “No.” I slid down in the chair. I noticed her eyes start to well up. She was about to cry.

But why? I'm just another name. Another face.

Her sister. It was always a voice of a woman I heard.

Sister?

She lost her memory.

Ahh, that makes sense now. Wait. Why am I talking to myself? No answer. I couldn’t help sighing. Mentally of course.

Anxious Lunatic

Uh...

drawer [drawr]
noun
1.
a sliding, lidless, horizontal compartment, as in a piece of furniture, that may be drawn out in order to gain access to it.
2.
drawers, ( used with a plural verb ) an undergarment, with legs, that covers the lower part of the body.

I apologize, one of my pet peeves. Otherwise, yeah, what Zorya said. This sounds really vague and not too many will jump on it; you really need to know what you're doing and where the story is going as a writer before recruiting partnerships. A co-writer might help with that and assist in fleshing everything, but an artist most likely will look for something more concrete.

Still, anything can happen so I wish you luck.

Try to work on your idea more. Ask yourself what do you want to convey to your readers, how the whole thing should end. Because for now, to me it sounds like every existing shonen/soft core porn comic trope I heard clumped in one. (Having tropes is ok, but instead on playing on familiar stuff, try ffering more unique angle to engage your colaborators and later readers)
I wish you the best of luck.

Question. How the ******** do you get softcore porn out of that? Sounds more like a family-centric drama series to me. neutral

In the first post the idea comes off as a family-centric drama, but then in another post the author mentions a succubus coming to stay with them. This is a very common ecchi manga premise. It doesn't help that the very same post, creating ecchi manga is mentioned as a potential odd job for the character to do.

Ohhh... huh.

I really don't get everybody's obsession with succubi lately.
to quell all the comments on the subject the whole thing is more or less planned to be a more of a shojen/ecchi manga and the succubus is to add the ecchi in while she tries to learn to act more like a human. As well as this is planned to be a fighting manga were the main hero and heroin will have to battle the occasional monster or two to keep the succubus safe from an underside force

(Ecchi is softcore porn.)

I recommend putting all of this and any other relevant information in the first post, as that's where most people will look. They'll lose interest before they scroll down to read.
