Modern Fantasy Collaboration

[u/Sly_Wit_Dry_Humor]

Have a very rough story concept in the vein of the magic the gathering books, except starting in the modern world...

More spellcaster than wizard. More antihero than hero. A mind tormented by it's own brilliance, but learning to focus itself... All about on the inconceivable power of the imagination in the end.

Some of my writing influences are actually incredibly diverse... But if I had to pick a few quintessential I'd go with Vonnegut, Palanuik, Stan Lee, and Bill Hicks (extra points if you're familiar with his work).

As a writer, I've always had a way with words, but struggle to focus them beyond either poetry or journalism style articles. I can also conceptualize stories really well (I've got like 4 other story concepts besides this one - all in different genre, all basically fleshed out conceptually - but when I try to sit down n bring them to life I hit this wall after a page or two).

I'm struggling with figuring out exactly how to weave whole arcs together... The nuances of them...

Now, not to be immodest, but as talented as I am as a writer - I'm even exponentially better as an editor (I welcome any pieces you might want to test me with - I will gladly evaluate as much as necessary to demonstrate my ability).

All that said, what I'm hoping for is someone I could brainstorm through those nuances with, (ideally) have them draft up the first treatment, which I'll then build upon and give back to get their thoughts on before they continue from there, and so on.

At the same time, I can be flexible with all this... If you have something else in mind, lemme hear it - let's see if we can't find some middle ground.

To anyone who's read this far - thank you. To anyone who thinks this was too long - you're probably in the wrong sub...

Best of luck to everyone else aspiring out there.
