over the past month, ranging down to last April, I've written a satiric/parodic story about the dystopic future of the world after skiing was included in the Olympics. It started out as just a little blurb I wrote during work, and grew quickly in the last few weeks into a 30-page story.
From most of the responses... they have been very, very positive, but I think the walls-of-text are very intimidating to many members, who probably won't even give it a chance, just because.
I'm asking you guys, who are drawers, artists, illustrators if you would be interested in reading it, and drawing what you see based on the story. Just for kicks, there's no present reward at hand. Maybe in the future there could be, who knows.
Here is the story, in one downloadable Word file, or in parts as seen in threads I've posted previously:

I've already made a few mock-ups of the story myself, but, well, not being an artist that can put what he sees in his mind to the paper in nothing else than word form, they didn't come out perfect, but here they are:

So, maybe the thing here is, if anyone is interested in this stuff, and inspired to throw something on paper, real or digital, it would be awesome and... well, that's all I have for now.
Thank you,
