I forget that, it's only one of my all time favorites? LMAO I suck at these threads but like you said Ritz, I think I enjoyed that one so much because when they wrote they tended to do it in the POVs which they felt comfortable with. Back and forth between Brian and Nick. (even though Amy was a Kevin girl lol)

Kat and Amy made a great collab team!  LOL I was the same way; in my original post, I started to say that I couldn't remember reading many collabs, except Swollen Issues and their Backstreet General series, and then I started thinking of all these other favorites of mine that are collabs.  I guess it's just something I don't pay much attention to.

That was I really love about collaborations, because you guys give different personality to different characters but with almost identical writing styles. :)

FrickingKaos:
I love to read collabs. My favorites are Undead and 00Carter. I have never done a collaboration unless you count the two round robins I am participating in. I have tried to do collabs in the past but it doesn't seem to work out. I would love to try one though. I don't know who I would want to work with...but I know lore and I have talked about it.

RokofAges75:
Thanks, Tracy!

It definitely takes commitment from both/all authors.  It's hard when one person is way more into it than the co-author(s).  That is why so many collabs fizzle out.

Rose:
Thanks!

And yes, commitment is key. Because if one is more into it than the other (or others), then it just leads to a lot of frustration and possibly arguments.
