Disclaimer: I've been set on this idea since assignment 4, so most of this is just a better-worded rehash. My solution is a service- a website.
Background Knowledge for Normies (you)
_______________________________________
Thousands of young artists around the world come together online and participate in role-playing and world development (think Dungeons and Dragons-style character creation, not the kinky stuff). For many, they've been involved in the community for years, and it's their primary hobby. Since it is more of a niche, there currently isn't a website that exists that explicitly provides roleplayers a place for them to both post art and communicate in an effective enough manner that doesn't send them running back to Twitter. Since an option like this does not currently exist, they resort to using more than one site, which contributes to my belief that there is a need for one website to rule them all.
The Service

My solution to this issue- artists who put so much work into concept art and collaborative work but have no one place to really do so- is to simply make a proper website for artists to post their character, concept, and collaborative artwork. It will be modern and give users several customization options for their posts, allowing full HTML and CSS compatibility.
That is a very interesting idea Haley. I am not very familiar with these kind of online role-playing websites, but it has been cool to read about your idea and how you came to identify this opportunity. I am excited to see how this continues to develop for you.
