Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's exactly what it says: Collaboration and Ideas. Wow, imagine that.

Why is this here? Well, it's main purpose is for you-the writers-to be able to present your ideas for, whatever, and go through constructive criticism. For Collaboration, some people think having two writer's thinking on one idea is better than one deciding everything.

So you come here, you get your ideas judged/helped, or you come here and ask if anyone wants to do a writing collaboration. This is basically the start for forming your..book, comic, what have you. Just a few Rules, if you could call them that:

-No Spamming[Obviously]
-Don't get angry if someone says your idea needs a lot of work this is here for constructive criticism.
-Be nice, no "Wow, Ur idea suxx butt!"-For one, it's rude. Secondly, If you don't have anything nice to say, then I might just have to punch you in the kneecaps.

That's it! Have fun, kiddies!

See, now something here reminds me of the old move.. "The Pagemaster"

Seeing as you literally just came up with the idea I'll just wait. 'Sides getting more posts will help coax others into the forum. More people posting is what's needed, yup yup yup!

I know right! xd

OR annoying child protagonist, or talking books with glasses, or badly animated characters. The list goes on.

I know how Disney does it! They buy every good story from original authors, then mar it horribly by adding small, furry, talking animals and 'adorable' children or children-figures[i.e. 7 dwarves in Snow White]. Then they add something called a moral to the badly represented story, then fill it with cutesy-wutesy scenes and bad sing-a-long songs. 3nodding

It was a joke gonk

Oh thank god I need help for a comic book/rp I'm hoping to create. I want to do the comic but when I'm gonna find the time to illustrate it and ink it and photoshop it while in school is beyond me, so I'm thinking I may just use it as an RP for now and then base the comic off the RP when I have time to have a life. ><.

Okay so now let me go find the basic outline.

Well the title is Heaven's Gene, it's set a few centuries in the future when religion has become more of a cult concept and science is heavily valued (I'll go into why later on if people actually respond to this). And what happens is a few years ago a couple people hitting the final stages of puberty started to grow wings and with that pick up minor powers, not like they sprout over night or it's common or anything, it takes several months, I have all the stages and facts about the wings written down some where but that will come later as well.
Anyways religious groups start to rise up and claim it's proof of god and scientific groups are trying to prove it's evolution so the entire plot is based on various aspects of the arguements of religion vs. science.
In the center are two teenage roommates who both just happen to have grown wings, one is a flamboyant fem nerd, who thinks that with the wings and the minor powers they have they should be super heros! And his room mate is your ultimate anti-heroine. She wants nothing to do with the idea but gets dragged along for the ride.

The religious groups claim that the wings come from a passage in the bible claiming that angels and fallen angels came down to earth and procreated with humans. They say that the decendants of those humans at the ones growing wings. They use the fact that there are two basic types of wings, feathered wings and bat wings as proof of this and believe that people with bat wings are in fact the decendants of fallen angels and are evil, and need to be exterminated.
It goes into good and evil and are we born that way, do we have free will, is goodness determined by the way people perceive us or by what we do?

Then there's the scientific side and I go into a LOT of quantum physics to explain the whole wings and super power process, because I'm scary like that and have actually thought up a reasonable sounding scientific theory for magic. Most people with wings don't exactly volunteer for experimentation so there are some scientists who go out and collect them.

So yeah if someone's interested in helping me out I'd love some comments about the main concepts. Let me know if you want to know the details.

Well having them chose a side is part of it, for the first arc they'd be recruited on the religious side. Tasked with finding angels to protect them, and hunting down the fallen. Which would enevitably divide them and I'd be using their personal beliefs to move the plot along but also get more indepth as to the ups and downs of each side and explore the issues on a more personal level. I want to delve into both sides, and despite having a bias for science myself I do want to show that science can be just as fanatical.
As for the rp I really would like to see how others would interpret that kind of senario. If I could get some really good rpers it would be interesting to play along and see where they'd take it.

Well in terms of the RP I'd love to create it myself but I'm being rather lazy about the lay out. I wouldn't mind some help with it though since I've never created an RP before.

As for the difference between religions, this is set a few hundred years in the future, and while there will be similarities between the religions in the plot line and today's religions I'll be altering them to fit with the setting details. Essentially I don't want to have religious soccer moms chasing me down for putting ideas into their kids heads. sweatdrop I might start to focus on religious sects as the comic goes on, so that there's a mix of beliefs but I think while I'm setting up the plot I'd stick with a general concept. For the rp I'd allow as much freedom as people like for creating religious groups, so long as it was run by me first. I've got a lot of detail put into this so I'd want at least some well thought out concepts if people were gonna go with it, just so that I can explain it to anyone who does have questions....
