I got this idea based on the third question in Mare's new fanfic book of questions thread on the debate board, where it asks about who your dream collaboration would be. I think it would be very interesting to see stories written by a pair of people who have never written together before and have different writing styles and interests. So I thought of this idea for a sort of challenge.
This is for writers who...
1) are looking to start a new story,
2) are not afraid of stepping outside their box and broadening their horizons, and
3) are willing to collaborate with a co-author they've never written with before.
Here is how the challenge will work:
If you're interested, you will fill out a short survey and PM it to me. I will then match you up with another willing writer, and your challenge is to write a story together. It can be a short story, a novella, or whatever you decide.
The point is to get people to write outside their comfort zones, by trying a collaboration for maybe the first time, or at least writing with someone new for the first time, and possibly writing something that isn't their usual thing. And hopefully readers will get to see what a collaboration between some of their favorite writers will look like!
If you're interested, fill out the following survey and PM it to me by December 4. At that point, I'll see how many responses I've gotten and extend the deadline if needed. You will find out who your co-writer is at some point after that, and there is no deadline on when your story needs to be up.
Name:
1. What fandom(s) do you write in?
2. Are there any fandoms you've never written in, but would like to (or at least consider)?
3. Which Backstreet Boy (or characters from another fandom) is your favorite to write about?
4. What are your favorite genres to write?
5. Are there any genres you've never written, but would like to?
6. Have you ever collaborated before? If so, which other AC members have you written with?
7. What is your biggest strength as a writer?
8. What's the thing you'd most like to improve on as a writer?
9. How would you like your co-writer to contact you? PM, email, IM...?
PM to RokofAges75 by Dec. 4.
