#reader proposal

OH MY GOSH, MY FIRST REQUEST!! I’m so excited!!

Ok, so I’m used to writing angst, so I hope this fluff wasn’t too overboard :)

Steve holds the door open for me as we walk into an old-time cafe in Brooklyn, “Ms. L/N!”

I blush at that, “You’re so cute when you do that.”

“Do what, darling?”

We both sit down in our usual booth, the only people in the cafe, “You’re so… chivalrous. It’s sweet.”

Steve smiles, “Darling, that’s just how I was raised.”

I grab one of his hands, “And I absolutely love it. Also, what’s going on?”

Steve looks at his pocket quickly before looking back up, “What do you mean, darling?”

“Steve, you wanted to meet at a cafe that we haven’t gone to in a while and Bucky called and kept asking what I was going to wear.”

Steve looked me up and down, from my Y/H/Cf hair pulled into a loose fishtail braid, my loose blue ombre dress, and flats,  “You look stunning as always. I wanted to come here because this is where we first met. Bucky showed me that not everything had changed completely since the Great War and then I started coming here regularly. One day, I happened to see this beautiful lady drawing in a corner. After you left the owner told me she was drawing me--”

“I’m still embarrassed you found out about that”

Steve kisses my hand, “I still have it. And you still have the one I drew of you.” 

“That’s sweet, but what brought this up? And where is the waiter and everyone else in the cafe?”

Steve gently pulls me out of the booth, “I asked the owner if we could be here privately. I love you with all my heart. I love how kind, brilliant, and absolutely amazing you are. I want to live with you and spend the rest of my life with you,” he kneels down pulling a small velvet box out of his pocket. He opens it and inside is a beautiful, diamond ring  and I look into his blue eyes, filled with love and adoration, “Ms. Y/N L/N, will you marry me and let me make you the happiest woman in the world?”

I nod speechless for a moment, “Yes!”

I hope you're doing great I just finished reading your story, "more-than-meets-the-eye", and I wanted to reach out because it really touched a chord in me. Your characters and world hold great potential for visual storytelling, and I would be more than happy to see your narrative transform into a visual comic.

Why I'm Reaching Out

I'm an enthusiastic artist adaptation-oriented from written works into visual comics, and your story stood out for me in terms of richness in character development and the clever way you weaves emotion into every scene. Your deep characters and vivid imagery of their world hold incredible potential for a visual storytelling adaptation. I feel that with the right visual treatment, your story can engage a wider audience and set an immersive experience for your readers.

A Little About Me

My artist name is "ZoyeZest," and I admire stories that speak at a visual level. I've worked with numerous authors on a commission basis to turn their stories into comics, capturing the feel of their stories while giving another dimension to the telling. My work is fueled by one simple passion: bringing stories to life in visual form. And I am dedicated to making sure your vision comes to life in a way that will strike a chord with your audience.

Let's Talk

I'd love to flesh out this idea with you some more and get some of your thoughts. Whether it's a full adaptation or just wanting to see some ideas, I'm here to collaborate and make sure that it is your vision at the very front. Since this would be on a commissioned basis, I can also give you more information on my pricing and what this process would look like.

Looking forward to hearing from you, and thank you in advance for considering this collaboration.

Best regards,

Baran

Good monring,

Firstly, thank you for reaching out to me with your proposal about a collaboration/commission opportunity.

Your enjoyment of, and interest in my fanfiction "More than meets the Eye" does make me feel validated, and I appreciate your comments.

However I have reservations with your proposal. Namely that I can not find through independent research no samples of your work or collaborations. Now this could just mean you have decided to keep everything offline to prevent sampling by AI... which is understandable. Any social media I have found of you links to very recent account creations. Which is a troubling premise, especially where you are indicating that you have been doing this type of work for some time. You have also reached out to me through a DM, and TBH that would have been a much better way to discuss this opportunity over sending me an ask.
