Chat request from an account named aihumanlove. The message reads: Good morning, How are you? Would you be interested in a collaboration? I have written some stories here (url included) i think it would be great if one of them gets turned into a comic. Happy to discuss I have one in progress that might really be interesting, should be ready by the end of the week. I'm not expecting any payment, just happy to see one of my stories come alive, we can adapt of course and a small acknowledgement, that's all. OK, I'll stop now :) Will Wait... have a good day
