This is the Collaboration challenge. :)

You're goal for this challenge is to team up with someone and create a 3 chapter story. A mini adventure if you will. LOL

It can be any genre, any fandom, doesn't matter. The idea is to see if you can work with someone seemlessly enough that we can't tell one author from the next.

Here are the rules:

~ There should be only two people working on the story
~ You cannot collaborate with someone you have already collaborated with
~ The reason it's a three chapter arch is so you can write one, your partner can write one and then one you have to work together on. As a reader we shouldn't be able to tell which chapter you worked on together.
~ Readers should try to guess who wrote what when they leave feedback and then you can let us know if they were correct.
~ No banners!


Also a reminder that as long as your name is listed as an author it counts as one of your updated stories on AC. You can only update two stories a day so be careful. You have been warned lol

If you think this is something you'd like to try but do not have anyone in mind who you'd like to write with, just repsond in here that you're interested and if you think you know who you want to work with, request that person. The worse that can happen is they say no lol

So many people I know became close friends because of their working together so who knows? You might find yourself a new BFF!

Have fun and enjoy!

Yay collab challenge!  Sounds fun!

I'm probably out because I have way too many stories I'm trying to work on before school starts back up, and I don't want to commit to anything else this month.  But I think it will be a great way for people who have never tried collaborating and want to give it a shot to take the plunge and go for it!

I'd love to give this a go, but I've never done a collab and don't know if anyone would like to write with me, lol.

So if anyone fancies writing with me, and you think our writing styles could go together, let me know!  I am willing to chat through ideas on msn or email or whatever else.

I've collabed, both with good and bad results.  The good results was the most recent (00Carter) so I think I will join in :)

Not sure if I can do this, just from the amount of time/stories and such. But this is a neat idea for a challenge! I can personally vouch for the fact that collaborating can be awesome. I started collaborating with Julie, and we just really bonded. I think the same happened with Hannah and Jen. :)

OK, you're on!!  We'll have to try and get together on msn or whatever to discuss as it's probably easier that way :)

I've collabed once but that wasn't really a story (the psycho handbook lol). I still want to collab on a story so I'm in! :)

Tracy, would you like do this challenge with me?

Awwww I was worried nobody would collab. I haven't had the best luck trying to collaborate in the past, so maybe we can work something out. I am free for the next few days if you want to chat or something. You have my email addy :)

There's no word limit on this one, so you could make the chapters however long you needed to.  Beginning, middle, end, voila!
