I am in, as yes, I too will help in anyway I can. As I had an idea, although not sure if it would be useful to the writers or not, but sometimes I see writers placing pictures with their works that they have attained from one place of another, (other, than themselves) and some are even unsure of their rights to use Not many, but yes, I have seen some of this What I propose as an idea/s Is that those of us who have the ability and or the desire to create that of the visual of art could produce a certain number of (appropriate in size according to the guild lines already in place here) pictures a month to be place somewhere maybe off to the side of introduction page to the writers forum, or wherever the moderator might deem is the best place for that. In that all writers that desire to might find one visual appropriate to add to their piece of written work, can do so with already given the rights to use from the particular visual artist. This way providing advertisement to both artist as well as assisting the writer in attaining maybe something more adequate to go with their work and or maybe if it would not create to much more work on the moderators, have the writers post a number to their work that would link to the actual work so that a visual artist with interest to create something to enhance the work with a graphic could request the opportunity to take on such a challenge/ number, and attempted to create a visual for the writer to use along with their work. Example: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Upon clicking on a number/link, the visitor therefore is directed to a piece of written work of a writer whom desires to participate that at current state does not have a graphic already attached to their individual work. (Of course, this would only be for those writers who wish to participate) Ok say I a visual artist would wish to try and capture the words of a writer and place them into a visual form. I would then click on a number and go and I read the works. Ok, now I have made up my mind I think I can do this and desire to do it, so I message the moderator with the number I have chosen. The moderator then in turn places my name/initials/ and or handle under the number. (As there maybe many different visual artists that also may desire to do a work for the same writing.) Upon the completion of my work as the work of others doing something for the same number, we post it in a section set aside for just this. Then the writer of said work then goes to that area, and or section and choose for him, or herself which graphic fits the feeling of the writing in which he or she has done the best. When said writer chooses, the graphic of choice that they desire to go with their work. They then in turn message again the moderator with their choice. (Let's say the pictures are upon this page arranged in A. B. C. and so on... The writer would then in a message tell the moderator that he or she has chosen (for the example- B) This visual work would then at that time be placed either by the writer themselves or the moderator in the appropriate size on the writer's page next to that particular writers work with maybe a small link to the bottom of the picture directing the viewer to also the visual artist gallery. (Also, the visual artist very well could upon uploading the work they have done for the specific piece of writing in its large size as well as a size that is befitting of the writers gallery, so as in ease for the writer to place with this work themselves with their writing.) This is a lot of fun for both the artist of word and that the visual artist, as well as an excellent exercise I do believe for both. Anyhow, that is the jest of the idea, and or idea's However, the decision comes down the pipe so to speak on what will be chosen to add that little something combining both that of the art of word and that of the visual, do so know I am in It would be a pleasure as a visual artist as well an artist of word to assist in anyway possible. Thank you for your time and do so have a lovely day! Wolfspirit
