?

So, I've gone on deviantART, Craig's List, and other sites to search for someone to help me with a comic idea, but no such luck. I want to take on this project more for fun and to learn than anything else. I'm not a professional writer looking to commission someones work. I just want to be able to brainstorm ideas and maybe get started on something.

I'm open to different art forms for this project, so I need to get to the next step. I need to figure out how to find an artist that wants to work on a project as well. Does anyone have any ideas on websites or something?

I have an idea for a graphic novel and I'm in need of an artist. The problem is I'm having problems. The people I know who are artistic create music, write and act. No one I know draws. I've tried Craigs List, but posting there would mean paying for a service. I really just want to work with someone and see if we can take this concept I have and create something together. Any thoughts?

I am struggling to find somewhere to start submitting articles. The local news papers are looking for something professional and I'm still in college. I'm not looking for pay, just a start. I live in Milwaukee and I'd like to get something local, but I can travel to Chicago. Anyone have any experience with this, or any tips?

Is there anyone who lives in the metro area of Milwaukee, WI who is actively practicing Wicca/Witchcraft? I'm looking to find more like mind people. Most Wiccans/Witches I know are solitaries or grounded.
