... and Rose's brain tastes like Skittles, so it's totally double rainbow all the way!

Eating brains can be challenging.  (Back on topic!)

Yes, I hear brain-eating is berry-berry challenging. They're chewy, aren't they? Eeek.  :P


YAY FOR BEING ON TOPIC.

For me, though, reliability is the biggest thing.  I've written with some lovely co-writers, but I always end up getting bailed on in the end because my enthusiasm for the project usually lasts longer than my co-writers'.  I can't handle flaky people; I like to finish what I start.

Its a huge blow to the craft when that happens. Especially when you think you know someone and than life gets in the way. What are you gonna say, you know?

I was going to say something about our collaboration (5 bsb in search) and I have no idea how I ended up reading a chapter (still doing it right now) lol that's the only collaboration where everything would have worked because it's so crazy.
And look I remembered my password yay...I wanna come back to the fanfic world!

You and Mersey are the only two people I would ever collab with and we almost ended up killing each other. Luckily we are all so awesome it worked. And i'm glad you remembered your password. *ginko biloba is your friend!*

I know.  And the worst is when you lose friends over it.  It's so not worth all the drama, but at the same time, it is frustrating and annoying to get bailed on.

Aww thank you. I think I've said this before, I have another chapter done but I didn't want to post it till I manage to write at least a couple more and that never happened  :( Like mare said, I do have the whole story in my head but real life didn't give me a chance in the few last years. That said, I'm almost sure I will have more time in the months coming so I have to give it another try soon.

And mare I know you wanted to kill me at least a couple of times while writing the collaboration but you couldn't because I'm adorable lol (yeah right) And you know remembering the password wasn't as difficult as remembering which name I was using in here lol

I'm also hoping Chaos updates his sequel to Ground Zero too, really awesome story.

I tried working on a collab once, but then she vanished.  I'm not sure I'd try it again, and anyway, I've got to get back into writing first, lol.  Maybe I'll open up my word doc and see what happens.

Lol.

I actually opened my word doc, typed a few lines and then blanked.  But at least it's a start.  I hate leaving things, so will pull myself together and get typing more this week :)

Yep I lost Jeanette over it a while back. We had this whole elaborate idea for the story too than it just disappeared.
