Two things! (Flash artist needed)

[triathalonofplanets]

1: Anyone willing to put time in to do a Flash version of part of a book I am writing? It's a well written book that is a year in the making (22 pages... >.< Writer's block sucks.)
2: Not really sure if I'm in the right Forums area... =/ Looooooong time since i've been in here and never really went through it.

well how are we to know if we want to do this if you don't give us any details?

i'd like to know about the plot, setting, characters, theme, i mean, the whole thing.

also what about compensation for time and effort? animation is alot of work and times are hard. and time is money.

i might not sure but put up a sample of your book in this thread

[triathalonofplanets]

Here's a snippet:
About half-an-hour later, the Captain walks into a relatively small crevasse in the rock face. I recognize it from my childhood as a hiding spot when I fled my Master to get some alone time. As we enter the rather large crevasse, too big to be called a crack, too small for a cave, the narrow hallway opens out to a small room, with two exits. I pause, falling into those memories of my childhood. The Captain moves around the corner, out of my sight.
"Why didn't you stop us earlier, really?" I ask when I finally catch up to Captain.
"What you need to do wasn't exactly high-priority..." The Captain responds.
"What do you mean, wasn't?" I ask unknowing. I stop and stare at the gruesome scene before me.
"It wasn't high-priority until a few moments ago..." He says motioning toward the scene. A few feet away from where we stand a torso lies on the floor, in a pool of blood. Its limbs and head have been removed, roughly. From how the limbs are laying and how the ends of the torso sit it looks as if the limbs were cut off, instead of torn as wererats often do. The corpse's torso was slashed open, most of its major organs removed. A few Vampires are around the scene, placing markers and taking pictures.
"Who is it?" I ask diverting my eyes away from the carnage, and looking at the Captain.
"We don't know...We still haven't found the head..." He responds, fixated on the body.
"Is it Vampire or Lycan?" I ask looking back to the scene.
"We're afraid to find out..." He says as we both look up at each other.
"Damnit..." I knew that Vampires can only fall one of two ways: Being decapitated or drinking Lycan blood and knew that the initial way to I.D. a body, without a proper head or Human Technology, was to taste the blood. "Why did you call me here then?"
"We were going to get you to help set up an ambush here because we received word the were-rats are traveling these tunnels..." He responds in a grim tone. "The workers couldn't get any of the materials needed, so they stepped out, waiting for us. This was about a quarter of an hour ago. They go back in, hearing we were on our way, and found this." He motions towards the body.
Wow... The V.R.A. works fast. I think to myself.
"So why didn't you dismiss me when you found out about this?" I ask, feeling as if he's leaving me out of something.
"I only just heard as we came into the crevasse, did you not notice that there were no workers around outside?" He asks me.
"Yeah... but I didn't know we were building something so I wasn't suspicious..." I respond. "Mind if we step out? It's getting a little cramped in here..."
"Yeah, sure..." He walks off with me following. I continue to stare back at the scene, wondering what kind of monster would do this.
"So let's assume it was one of the workers... Did the were-rats get to us before we could set up a defense?" I ask as soon as we step out of the crevasse.
"No...we still have scouts watching them and we would have seen were-rat prints around the body..." He lets his words trail off. He turns to me and says, "Why don't you go home... You've been sparring most of the night...You probably are tired..."
"Yeah, but I can handle..." I stop mid-sentence noticing the ferocity in his eyes.
"No, go now..." He leaves me there and walks back into the crevasse. I shrug and take the northern pass back to the Hall of Ancients, the grand hall where most meetings and announcements occur. I start to wonder how far this war between the Vampires and Lycan will end up going.

Now I am currently trying to get a part-time job, (School is priority =/) but I may be able to compensate for the time used depending on the finished project.

Now this is one of the more boring parts of the book, because it is only in the second chapter out of five written, and there are currently no major battle scenes.
But those who have read it have liked it, and I hope that I can turn my idea of a book into a miniseries on flash.
I apologize for not getting back to those who have replied, for I was busy the day prior.

Now I am sorry that this isn't what you like, but I seem to have a problem with things like this. Think about this:
I have three hours of scholwork every night, an hour of extracurriculars, and I get out at 3:00 from school. Ever actually READ a book and wonder, "Hmmm. There must have been thousands of hours put into this book so I can sit here and enjoy it in three." And I doubt there is a single book out there that is considered an actual BOOK that doesn't have page apoun page apoun page of backstory, details for the character creation and then maybe if the writer is talented enough MAYBE he has three or four pages of action sequence or maybe a sex scene or two so you who don't actually read books can read a single line over and over imagining what that would be like for you as you sit in your dark room masturbating to imaginary images of a girl doing what they are doing in that book to you. That was one of the more boring parts, as I have yet to get to the more actiony parts, seeing as WRITING A NOVEL is pretty strenuous work. Try writing a book as good as the one I am working on and tell me that it is easy. Writing takes fifty million times more hours and work than a single twenty minute fake flash you spammer deal out seventy times a day.
I try to expand the horizons of this pathetic excuse of people who call themselves ARTISTS when only thre or four out of a HUNDRED people who submit actually have good, innovative ideas. And if those who are about to say "Wow this guy has anger issues." imagine what it is like to constantly be put down by people whose only life is searching out threads like mine and saying: This guys idea sucks. Even though those same people COULD be putting those three or four hours of trolling the forumns could actually TRY and create a decent flash MOVIE that is longer than one or two minutes and doesn't involve sex, drugs, alcohol, reused ideas, or even items that are SPRITE animation. For the ones that do have no true skill or innovation, but are trying to put an existing GOOD idea to death through crap spammed throughout the portal.
Thanks for the confidence Newgrounds!
