And here comes the trash talking. Also, for some reason the fonts I've downloaded from blambot keep coming out looking different to how they did before, and I don't like it. Anyone know how to fix it?

Right, so recently I've been doing some research into possibly doing my own sci-fi style comic that I could just develop later and then get a graphic novel published with its beginning. After that, depending on how it does, I sell all the rights to a creative team to continue it without me, sort of like how DC and Marvel do things (With my name next to the "Created by" part of the credits).

Now some of you may be asking, "David, why on earth do you want to sell one of your babies?" and to that I say, to watch this project grow from an outsider's perspective. That, and if it becomes awesome and popular, then I can market myself as the creator of whatever the hell the series gets called.

And now you're probably wondering "Okay, that's cool. But why tell us?" and I respond "Simple, I'm going to pitch the concept to you guys and you can tell me what you think". Hell, if one of you wants to take it/co-write then just ask me, show me what you got and I'll help you get started.

Right, so the story begins in a chaotic civilisation, note that I did not say apocalyptic. Anyway, in this sprawling metropolis, the gap between the rich and the poor has grown so much that the wealthy have located themselves to a whole new society, starting with the poorer families at the 100th story, the wealthiest about 150. Then there's a 90 storey gap in all the buildings. Under there are the poor, many of whom barely eat once a week, most having to resort to cannibalism and some even changing physically to become somewhat animalistic.

Enter a maid named Jean. For all her sixteen years, she has lived a life of servitude for a family who barely manage to keep ther place in the top 50 wealthiest households. However, when her duties are done, she takes an elevator down to the poor area and starts random fights, simply to satiate a bizarre blood lust she has. One night, she happens upon a gang warring with police and is badly injured. One of the fighters takes her to his base and has them heal her, claiming that she is their latest recruit in their quest to bring an end to the disease and famine that plagues the underworld. With the promise of more fighting, she readily agrees.

That's about the very core of the story's beginning. Of course, when it is written there will be much more to it, but yeah. If anyone wants to do whatever to it, tell me what you had in mind and we'll work something out.

Well, that's it from me. Take care.
