What are your thoughts on collaborations? Do you tend to take part in them? This month is the first time I've ever attempted a collaboration. Like Julie and Mare have said, when I was in school I never worked with anyone and hated the thought of someone having a say in what I did. I guess I was a bit of a control freak and wanted my work to be mine. I suppose deep down it was because I knew I could rely on myself to get it done. I was a bit of a perfectionist back then and wouldn't have wanted anyone messing up my grade A, lol, that and I've always been a bit of a loner. It's been a long time since I left school though!
But I do like collabs if they are done right and am looking forward to seeing how it goes with Kristal. Having never had to consider anyone else before, I just hope I do it right. I know Kristal has done collabs before, so hopefully she can help me out
Do you enjoy reading them? Is is something you even notice when you are reading a story?Depends on the story. Take for example my favourite collab, Song For The Undead. It's such a well written and fantastic story, but not only that, Julie and Rose work so well together that you don't notice who wrote which part. I think it's important when writing a story that it flows well, and this is a perfect example of that.
How many people is too many when working in a collaboration? Having not got much experience with collabs, I have no idea how to answer. I suppose it depends on the writers and if they are pulling their weight.
Who would be your ideal collaborating partner? Um...I don't know, maybe Lore as I like her stories and she mentioned me (thanks for the mention Lore
) I hate answering this kind of question, what if the person I suggested laughed and thought 'no way', lol.
