Collaboration:
Responsibilities split for marketing, would need a partner who is willing to model and do some art direction.
It would also be necessary to use real names on the project - Kickstarter rules. Something to consider.
Multi-sig Donation dapp modeled after this site for Tarot.
Project could be broken down into suits | major / minor arcana -- or Asana sequences.

I've got a number of projects, and will be increasingly moving into more coherent long form comics, so another option could be deconstructing my art assets and working multi-sig split with a developer.

Social Experiment in Governance / Engagement:
Due to the cypherpunk subculture, the obvious choice here would be the Liber Vulva / Autonomous Dildo characters and story context. Corporate Police State, Dystopian Sex Industry, Decentralized Cultural Elements, Revolution Porn.
Could also share the same sort of approach to public domain derivation work, by drawing from cultural reservoir. In this way Autonomous Dildo would be correlated to Frankenstein. That way there's a sort of bare bones structure to form the story around, and when the project is ported to Kickstarter, it can be marketed effectively toward a broader audience -- These would be structured more like short stories -- 64 - 100 pages, or could be a long form project with an annual KS campaign / print run.
The most obvious solutions here would be to limit the activity to a daily post, with the voting period being the 7 days of HIVE funding, so there would be a week lag between when new ideas are implemented, and when the updates are delivered.
Voting mechanism is probably best done with comments and upvotes on comments. Votes could be weekly, with daily project updates, mixed between process work and story section releases each week.
I've also seen this done successfully with panel based iterations and voting on twitter, with more rapid succession. [As a note to self -- this type of thing would work well with a live stream service -- Something to consider if I get a stable housing situation.]
Project would be given a home base here on HIVE, but the derivative PDFs and print copies could be monetized on Patreon and Kickstarter, as well as in Ethereum via NFTs and PDFs.
Additional monetization opportunities could be in commissioning scenes or cameos, which could be done for HIVE.
This is a very impressive idea.
Project could also have potential for collaboration with other artist, in a sandbox type scenario, or based on thematic variations which are shipped in KS anthologies, and marketed together in NFT format within Ethereum. This opens up the idea for open source artwork.
Another obvious application of the project would be that the art assets could be used to create advertisements for HIVE. This expands the applications for open source artwork.

I think the best way to transition toward this last idea would be to start with short public domain centered projects, and use them as a framework. So, a project that takes 3-6 months of work until project cycle is completed, and project is shipped.
In order to make collaborative experimentation open on this one, I can do an open call for people who want to participate alongside me in this project with their own thematically related project.
What this ought to do is allow for group crowdfunding via Anthology on Kickstarter, and increase cross-pollination as well as adoption of ETH and HIVE.

Conclusion:
I'm going to be completing the Alice Slays the Jabberwock project over the next two months or so. Once that project is completed, I will be exploring a crowdfunding session within the ETH community, and designating the Public Domain IP Flavor of my next project.
I'm really only capable of doing one thing at a time, so with the exception of the Visual Novel Derivation or any other derivative work where my art is just used as an art asset, and I don't need to be involved -- my decisions will need to be binary.
Once I go in on a project it will likely be a 6 month commitment minimum.
If you're interested in collaborating in some fashion related to these things, you can reach out to me.
