I am an amateur writer hoping to be more with a story series I have worked for years and I would appreciate new collaborator or at least an editor/advisor.

The problem is that I don't know where to start.

However, I can give a full post of what I am looking for, this specific forum obviously not the best place to put it.

 

[Prince of Spires]

Go for it I'd say. The more specific the question the better advice you're likely to get.

Can anyone advise where would it be be best put this post?:

Collaborator Wanted for "Jahaliya" – A Furry Erotic Fantasy Adventure Series​

About the Series​

Jahaliya is a daring and imaginative furry fantasy series that brings together the best of several beloved genres. Imagine the sweeping escapism of John Carter of Mars combined with the anthropomorphic charm of Zootopia, all wrapped in the uninhibited and playful tone of Heavy Metal. It’s a world of wild adventures, sensual pleasures, and cultural clashes—a place blessed with untamed wonder, shaped by a powerfully generous Blessing that comes with requirements for the land's people to endeavor toward diligence and justice.

Premise​

The series follows an advanced private girls' school's etiquette class, their teacher, and the school's orphaned handyboy, who falls into a fantasy world. Upon arrival in the land of Jahaliya, they transform into idealized versions of themselves with innate talents. They eventually encounter a handsome prince—essentially a male counterpart to John Carter's Dejah Thoris—and become his harem, bodyguards, and personal staff. This setup provides the backdrop for an exploration of loyalty, cultural clashes, and personal transformation in a land dedicated to its special ideals. It is essentially a furry harem fantasy story where the focus is primarily on the girls and their companions themselves.

Project Scope​

After 15 years of collaboration, I’m seeking a new partner to help bring fresh energy to this beloved project. I have 28 finished stories with more in development, and I plan to combine them into a series of novels. This is a chance to work on something established yet open to evolution.

What I'm Looking For​

• A collaborator who shares my passion for creative storytelling, including elements in a tone that is “not vanilla and more butterscotch”—adventurous in its sexuality yet infused with genuine heart amid lustful enthusiasm.
• Someone comfortable with explicit and mature themes handled thoughtfully and with respect for the reader.
• Experience in world-building, character development, and working within established series lore.
• If you are inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs' adventurous concepts, Richard Corben's early Den comics, or harem fantasy novels by authors like Sarah Hawke, Dante King, Edward Lang, and Amanda Clover, this project might resonate with you. Additionally, fans of furry talents like Paul Kidd, Terrie Smith, Vicky Wyman, and Steve Gallacci will find this a perfect creative fit.

Why Join?​

• Jahaliya is an established series with a clear vision and a strong foundation.
• This is an opportunity to collaborate on a project with a unique niche, blending imaginative plots, likable characters, and content that respects its audience.
• You’ll have access to a rich trove of reference material—including character designs, world-building documents, and story outlines—to immerse yourself in the world of Jahaliya.
• The series’ focus on its characters allows for creative exploration and contributions, with opportunities to expand the lore and introduce new perspectives.
• Opportunities exist to collaborate on spin-off stories, explore new character arcs, and delve deeper into the world’s lore as the project evolves.

Collaboration Style​

I’m Canadian and prefer working through platforms like Google Drive for real-time collaboration. I also have a Dropbox with all the necessary materials for reference. If publishing, we’ll factor in international logistics.

Publishing Goals​

While I’m open to traditional publishing routes, I consider Amazon Kindle publishing a viable option. Your insights and suggestions for reaching our audience will be valued. Timelines are flexible, but I aim to finalize the first combined novel draft within a year, with key milestones for initial drafts, edits, and formatting along the way.

Next Steps​

If this sounds like a project you’d love to work on, please reach out! Share your experience, interests, and why you’d like to join the Jahaliya journey.

I would personally drop it in the "Writing Groups" forum. Seems like the best fit.

Good luck with your search for a writing partner.

Sounds like fun, but I am personally not collaborator material. I wish you luck with it though.
