now let's talk about collaborations

I never looked at it like a round robin because it was planned out who was doing which chapter by invitation only. A lot of time was spent organizing that one long before it was easy to just add on a chapter whenever you felt like it on AC. LOL

RokofAges75:
Yeah, I guess it was like a cross between AC-style round robins, where anyone can post, and traditional collabs where the co-authors plan together and take turns writing.  That was a fun challenge!

mare:
And there was a challenge where you had to continue the plot of the person who wrote before you. I gave each person 2 weeks to write their part I think, which most people did and every once in a while there was a WTF just happened moment. It was  a long time ago so I can understand why people would forget it wasn't a red robin but more like a collaboration. Just an old school one. LOL

mare:
I remember Eboni and I working on the very last chapter together trying to tie it all up nicely and having a really hard time. LOL Those were the days. Back when I had AIM without my computer freezing on me every ten seconds.

Yeah, that's why it was such a challenge, because you had no idea what was going to happen before it was your turn.  But that's what a round robin is, one person picking up where the last one left off.  It's just one specific type of collaboration.  Really, Phantasm was more of a traditional round robin than the 1000 Ways stories are now, because they don't really follow one continuous storyline.  Rose just used that feature to make it open for anyone to contribute a death to them.
