Options include short fiction, graphic novellas, cartoons, collaborative stories, novels, poetry, and other goodies.

I keep saying that you, me, and haikujaguar need to join forces for something like this.

Yes!

It sounds like a good idea to me. We have illustration, writing, editing, and networking skills. Money might be a limitation to some things, and time surely would be -- we're all busy. But I think this has potential.

Some questions to consider:

1) What would be our overall vision?

2) What would be some specific goals?

3) What would we need to make those happen?

That's the problem I see in the proposed project -- it seems unfocused. I love it conceptually.

Nah, shadesong, haikujaguar (who hasn't replied yet, so may or may not be interested), and I are all experienced work-from-home folks. To be good at that you have to know how to set goals and hunt them down. I don't think we'd have any trouble turning up a tightly focused project plan.

Oh I didn't mean you three. I think you three could pull it off. I meant the Ozymandius project you referred to in the original post. It's this great BIG idea, but, the proposed specifics seem all over the place.
