Not caught up in Boxed Set so I'll note this here - Amazon has SPN season 1 at half off right now.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Ooh! Thanks for the heads-up, Brenda.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
This should be interesting. Any words of wisdom/warning from those who've done a full-out co-write before?
If one of you is a freakish perfectionist, learn to chill.
Not that I resemble that remark.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Pfft. You're not freakish.
At least not in that respect.

Be Patient. Collaborating has historically taken me three times as long as writing alone has. I get a lot out of it, but man, it's been slow when I've done it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I think that my only attempt at collaboration was a Lex/Wes SV/AtS crossover involving fencing that Amych and I were going to work on. I wrote half, then stumbled to a halt. She went to do some research into fencing...and now wins prizes, and has a husband she met through fencing.
The story? Never did get written. Um. Still, the project kind of indirectly produced one hot swashbuckling spouse, so it's all good.
looks around for her own hot swashbuckling spouse. Sighs.

Late to the party, but the other thing my co-writing experience suggests is that it's easier if you're clear where the work is being split: who is writing which scene, etc. Raven and I tend to split plot (me) and character ideas (her).

Heh. It's an entirely different process for me and Plei--there are so many times I look back at things we co-wrote and have no clue who wrote what. (Though I always credit her with the good bits.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
shrift and I cowrote over ICQ. Like a ping-pong ball. A porny ping-pong ball.
