Thirty Days - Day Twenty-Eight

Day 28 – Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your story?

Yes. I haven't done any collabs in a long time, though. Most of these were over ten years ago back in the Thundercats fandom. It was interesting how when I collaborated with different people, how we would go about writing. One story was written with a friend over IM, where essentially we each wrote for certain characters and their reactions. When the story was finished, we put it all in a document and polished it up so it flowed properly.

Other times it was done round robin style, where one of us would write some, and then email the document to the other. We'd go over what the other person wrote, add in our input, expand and write new material, and send it back, until it was done.

I don't really do collaborations much these days. My husband is the only person I've co-written with in recent years, and that's because he's conveniently located in my house and we can discuss things in real time. When we do collab-type work, we go about it in the way described above, with taking turns going over the document, adding to it, and passing it on to the other, though.
