I had been receiving the offers since November of last year. I was flattered at the idea of my stories being so good that I have artists reaching out to me to want to adapt them into comics or make concept art for my stories at first. And I would have loved to support them if I was in the position to do so financially.
But as soon as I started to pick on the pattern in their messages, I started to realise something:
These people may not ACTUALLY be digital/concept artists and are preying on and scamming writers on Fanfiction.Net and Wattpad into monetising our work for their own benefit and greed.
These people don't care about our stories. They want our money and reap the benefits of our work without us benefitting from it.
I have been receiving these messages non-stop it's become harassment at this point.
And I am truly and utterly disgusted that these people are tainting and misrepresenting real digital/concept artists just because they're desperate for money.
If you're a writer and if you've been receiving messages like this: don't fall for it.
And if possible, share this to as many people as possible.
