Looking for Partners!

[u/SomeNegotiation1337]

Hi everyone!

So, a quick disclosure, I’m somebody who previously used AI in my work. I’m seeking human partners now and have opted to not longer use AI in my creative process, but I wanted to be honest about my use because I’m aware not everyone is comfortable with it. I used it in the following areas:

> Research
> Finding cosmetic details (names, books, etc.)
> Logic-checking (though not for solving the issues)
> Translation

I did not use it in the following:

> Plot
> Characters
> Structural details (load-bearing details in the narrative, such as a particular book preference for a character who needs it for a certain plot reason later in the story)
> Structural documents
> Prose
> Art

You will not be exposed to any AI-generated content while working on this project, but please be aware that it may be necessary to discuss the prior involvement of the technology so as to identify pitfalls of the work.

If you’re comfortable with all of this, welcome! I have a few works I’d like to discuss, but for this post, I’d like to talk about an idea for an animated TV show/series called Mulji Crucible.

Mulji Crucible is an absurdist wartime tragicomedy where 500 people are trauma-bonded to a space heater and there’s a medic who might give you emotional damage while she saves your life. It follows the Twentieth “Immortal” Battalion as an ensemble through the struggles of a brutal hot war taking place in the fictional countries of Muljihyeong and Bal Tepeleri between 2011 and 2012. As supply lines fail and attrition seems inevitable, they fight their hardest not only to triage the damage, but to keep their humanity, too. An empty stomach can mean a lot more than just hunger, after all.

An important thing to note is that this project does contain disturbing content and topics, including war, institutional and psychological abuse, vivid medical and psychological horror, gore, strong language, and sexual references, and intense depictions of panic, dissociation, and other mental health crises. While these topics are not intended to be voyeuristic and I can calibrate with what amount of detail I discuss them, they are structural to the project. If you are uncomfortable with these topics, please take care of yourself and skip this one over.

I have an ~85-page creative bible to help explain the work, but I can also summarize content where needed. This is a long-term project, so a relaxed pace is perfectly fine. Please just keep me informed as to whether you’d like to stay involved, need a break, or are stepping away from the project when appropriate.

If you read all of this, thank you so much! I look forward to working with you!

(P.S. Multiple partners is perfectly fine, and I’d be happy to get input from as many people as possible!)
