I liked most of Merlin's stuff, but especially the SF, Roman and fantasy stories, a number of which you collaborated on I seem to remember. Also the pirate girl. For me concept, characterisation and plot are everything. Great art helps too, of course!
Your idea sounds intriguing, however I'm purely a writer and any art you see on my page is commissioned from the artists I select to work with. Been active on Hostboard's Titfighting and Sexfighting forum for a couple of years now writing as Ragnar0k, mostly f/f TF & SF stories. I also posted some of the less racy ones here on DA and managed to set myself up to self publish a couple of my illustrated stories on lulu.com. Its not that profitable a business model but helps subsidise the cost of commissions.
I'd be glad to help with your concept to any extent I can, as I know a couple of artists and how they operate. You probably have your own preferred list too.
