yes, maybe plan on writing a short doujinshi or making an anime. Need to learn how to draw humans better, though I think I can learn it quite well

Also have an idea for a visual novel

You can do it for personal use, friend sharing or Internet sharing and still have supporters so you get motivation to do what you like. That's my idea, if I were to create my manga that would be my intention. It's not impossible to make your manga sponsored by something else not inside Japan but well... your story has to pass the limits of people's imagination.
I think he's saying no matter how good it is, it will never be anime since it's not made in Japan.

I watched episodes of Bakuman.

I sat down, and found out....I cannot do this stuff.

Plenty a rainy day. I have lots of story ideas, but here's the thing - I can write creatively yet I can't draw very well. Though I have a sister who's great at it, I could probably get her to do the drawing while I write the script. Or I could improve my own artistic skills with enough determination.

Though really, I prefer the literary value of writing a novel. Then I'd be more than happy to have someone make a manga adaptation.

Well Witchblade is an anime based off an American comic book. So I suppose it's possible that an American made story could be animated by a Japanese studio.

I have about 5 or 6 story ideas, i can't draw though and i kinda find it boring to do, i have asked a friend to partner but he is a bit soso about it, mostly because he is in uni at the minute and has a shit tonne of work to be doing nevermind making a manga/comic. I will probably ask him in the summer holidays, he finishes uni very soon actually.

Light novel can suck a dick, i hate writing in words only i just find it boring and i can't execute it nearly well enough, i don't think i can anyway, i probably could if i wanted to if i were to put in a lot of effort but it just isn't how i would want to get my story across in all honesty.

But yeah i think about this frequently, sometimes i take 2-3 hours getting to sleep because i am having a flow of ideas, seriously, sometimes i create a universe along with bad guys/bad organisations/villains and very specific hierarchies along with characters and what weapons and abilities they are going to use and a general plot outline in under an hour, sometimes my mind does that xD I usually notepad it or write it down, have a few notepads of plot outlines that are a fair few words long. i have a general idea of where i want them all to go but can't really think of how to get there, i could figure it out if i had the motivation, if i knew that i had someone who could definitely bring it to life. As soon as he says he will i will be writing up plans for story arcs and chapter outlines for hours :P

The artist i want to do it with is pretty incredible, his drawing is amazing and his painting is just ridiculous, he painted a fruit bowl for a piece of course work and i swear it looked real 0.o

It is definitely an ambition of mine even if i only ever have 50 fans LOL

I really hope so to, i think what i will do is write a one shot type thing so he can see if it is the right thing for him. If we do end up doing something i shall upload it here and on deviant art :)

It's a little annoying how hard it is to make a living off of it in the UK though, money isn't my goal of course but if i could make a living off it that would be fantastic, dream job, i would argue that it isn't even a job ^^

Well yeah...But I can't animate or draw really well. I can draw people mostly, but only at a couple of poses. Animation takes too much work.

I prefer to write, but I'm pretty bad at that too.

Since we live in the 21st century it is pretty much impossible to be completely original but I am writing my story so that it entertains while still being considered "quality."


Do you have any of it available to read online?

I've always wanted to create a light novel, with hopeful dreams of it being adapted to an anime.

If only I wasn't so lazy in the end...

It would be great to see a story of mine turned into anime one day, but it's a dream within a dream. It's rare that Japan collaborates or accepts original material from anyone outside Japan, and even then, it is mostly of European influence. America-Japan collaborations almost never happen. The only one I can think of was Stan Lee working on Ultimo... and that's the goddamn Stan Lee.

Regardless, I haven't lost hope, but first things first, and that is to become a well-known author :)

If I could only find the right people, I wouldn't mind making more of a story off of Tatsuya Miynishi's "You Are Umasou" aka "Omae Umasou da na." I even managed to get in contact with him recently about being able to use his characters in story I wrote and if he allows me to use them, I might finally be able to turn "The Dinosaur Revolution" into the sequel to "You Are Umasou" or even into an anime. Here's a link to the story if anyone is interested:

Its been in my head for a while now. Light novels don't look awfully difficult to write and I can get someone to draw for me. I seem to have a knack for world building, but I haven't really thought of a clear plot yet. Perhaps I should also get it translated to Japanese, so that the folks there take notice, and then an anime is made! Bit of a ridiculous fantasy though.
Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier
Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.).
Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!)
Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe
Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics.
Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it.

Personally, I haven't worked "deeply" on something with the intention of it being a manga, or possibly even becoming an anime. I will say though, I have worked on many different stories that, if possible, I would have tried to get green lit as light novels. Of course, this is easier said than done, so I would have had to have gone further into what I was working on, but I have done a fair bit of work on different stories... So, yeah...
- One of them involved a boy who was left alone, quite often, by his parents, for they had "important" work to get to. He grows an inferiority complex because of this, and looks at the world through a quite negative point of view. One day, while walking back home from school, he runs into a girl who nobody can seem to notice for some reason. This girl changes his life forever....
Of course I've thought deeper into it than this, and it's much more unique than I'm making it come across as, but I'm not quite the kind of guy who would just post all of his ideas on an internet forum, you feel me?
It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou

Haha wow, writing is easy, is it? Tell that to the literal MILLIONS of people who try to write yet can't get published even after a lifetime of trying - and that's filled with extremely talented skilled people, not just terrible writers.

Don't look down on writing, it's fucking tough unless you're pumping out material the quality of a fanfic.

It seems I did not express my thoughts correctly. Perhaps I should have said it was 'possible'. Definitely did not intend to discredit writers in any way.

Sometimes I do get over my head with ideas, but that's normal for young people right? Its always refreshing to be smacked with the harsh truth. I'm still going to have a shot though.

Yes I have a ton. In fact I'm trying to creating an entire universe, and I'm fleshing it out. I'd say I'm a good 60% finished; I got it all down on paper(and somewhat typed as im more of an artist). I plan to make a Manga and game, I have the talent for it all the only thing is (and it really pisses me off) I don't have the resources, fresh outta high school with zero money and no job. I need a better computer and a pen tablet or something. In time. IN TIME!

I have a few papers with one sentence ideas that I already have characters and stuff for. I even went so far as to write dialogue interactions between characters and scenarios. I can't draw though so it's strictly writing.
