curious about collaborations

[ratcreature]

Are there any forums or communities for organizing author/artist collaborations that are not Big Bangs (or Reverse Big Bangs)? Like say a notice board where authors announce describe their WIPs and express an interest in getting a cover made or illustrations or any number of things (say a pretty map for your story with a quest or other world building stuff), or artists can post what they'd have an interest in illustrating or maybe propose their project ideas that would need an author as well as art, and then people could comment and find each other?

Yeah it would be nice if it existed. Or even if it was just more common to see such notices in fandom specific comms, so that it wouldn't seems so scary or unusual to post it. But most seem to be just for posting finished stuff.

As for starting such a comm, like I said in my comments above, I think it would have a hard time initially to become large enough to be viable for actually finding others that match what you are looking for. Plus the social awkwardness issues.
