Mariah:
What are your thoughts on collaborations? Do you tend to take part in them?
I'd love the idea to work somebody else. Actually someone from Canada is currently trying to work with me on a Brian story at the moment. I offered to beta her personal solo story about him and I'm almost done doing that. Plus I have some of my other stories to get done first. But I love bouncing off new ideas with someone open-minded. Maybe try a genre I haven't tackled.

Do you enjoy reading them? Is is something you even notice when you are reading a story?
Eh, not always, I think I say that mainly because there's very few out there to begin with. I guess not enough variety too. I don't really read a lot of them so I can't say there's something in particular I notice.

How many people is too many when working in a collaboration?
If its a round robin, then its understandable . I actually don't have a problem with 5 or 8 people collabing on something new. As long as its interesting and draws me in with the first chapter, then yeah I'd say there shouldn't be a limit to the creative process.

Who would be your ideal collaborating partner?
I tend to work with people I personally talk to but I believe the main things I look for in a partner while writing is style, intelligence, humor and emotions. It helps to know the person is willing to go in any direction and bear their soul if need be. I honestly love to work with a horror writer or someone who deals in comedy. Don't write too many of those and it would be interesting to combine their insights with my own personal spin.
