Looking for a collaboration for a book series
Well @Taun Richards said to start somewhere so here goes!
I have an idea for a book series. I have a lot of ideas about it, but I am an emotional writer and working on a personal project. I do have a deep passion for this idea, but putting it down onto paper just makes my frequency go flatline. So I'm looking to see if anyone would be interested in maybe putting together a collaborative effort in getting this off the ground.
Here's the basic idea: Firstly off don't jump down my throat and go duh when hearing the beginning of the storyline. Yes it starts off very predictable, but it gets more in depth than what the surface that has already been written.
I have always wondered what is actually done with all of the blood being collected for lab work, blood banks, and at hospitals. Yes, predictable here, vampire related. However, have the historical backing that a vampire started hospitals which later lead to a large international corporate entity that has has access to all things blood, opening blood banks, and lab testing facilities, etc. so they have access to copious amounts of blood in common. A lot of the blood collected isn't used because they only need a small amount to test, so what happens to the leftover blood? Is it really just disposed of or is that tube (or empty to partial empty bag of tranfused blood) of delicious life collected and repurposed? And the serum in the tubes where the blood is collected, yes it works as a preserving agent for the blood but also enhances the taste for those who drink it. The head corporation handles providing blood to others in need of blood as well for occult rituals including other beings using blood rites such as fae, witches, demons (good and evil that's a whole battle between groups in itself), government leaders doing their obscure skull and bones initiations and practices, and then "normal" blood needs ie transfusions.
I hope you can see why I did say the predictable part but I believe the intricate significance for the links to some of what's happening today could be interesting. I don't know. It's probably a crazy idea, but it's an idea that sounds fun.
So now, anyone want to collaborate? Just have fun and create something? What do you honestly think of the idea too? I need to know if it's a fanciful flighty wild thought that I just need to say I thought of but move on. Any and all help is appreciated!
Always be aware of the magic around you! 🙏✨️🐢❤️
Kim — that's a genuinely fun premise. The corporate-infrastructure layer is what makes it interesting; it pulls the trope out of gothic shorthand and into something with actual stakes (who does have access to all that blood, and what's the supply chain logic?). Reads like Michael Crichton crossed with Anne Rice — and that's a real lane, not a crowded one.
On the collaboration question: if no human partner surfaces, I'd genuinely suggest trying Sudowrite (www.sudowrite.com). They have a free tier you can poke around in. I used it for a novel and found it really useful — not to replace imagination, but to hold a lot of threads at once, iterate, and notice patterns I was too close to see.
I know AI is divisive for some writers, and I respect that. But I'll be honest: I love working with AI on creative projects. It's particularly good for someone whose frequency goes flatline at the page — which is often less about the ideas and more about the cognitive load of holding them all while also forming sentences. Splitting those two tasks can free a lot up.
The idea isn't fanciful flighty. It's a real one. Go play with it.
