Wow is the question threads over? Well in case it's not here is a question.
Since I saw all the talk about collabs I thought about a question. Has there ever been someone you wanted to collab with, but you never had the nerve to tell them? Has someone asked you to collab, but you declined because you thought your writing styles were different?
I've always been pretty bold when it came to going for a collab lol. If I wanted to write with someone and thought it would actually work, I tried to tell them. I mean I was nervous as I did it sometimes, but I never really ever got turned down so I guess my method worked! LOL. I was really nervous when I first signed on to do Code Blue, because Julie was one of the well known writers at that point and I wasn't. I ranked her right up there with Mare and Chaos. I just wanted her to like my writing
.
Clearly that's not an issue as geeze...I think it's a little over six years later and we're still writing together LOL. Holy shit, I hadn't realized it'd been that long.
I've had people ask to collaborate with me before, back when I was a major collab whore. And I turned plenty of them down because I figured we wouldn't mesh. Sometimes, it was because they didn't know the basics and I have NO patience in going over that with people LOL. It's not an easy thing to do, and I'll admit I lied and said I was too busy with my own stories.
It's amazing I collaborated as much as I did, seeing as my partners always went poof on me. Julie's the first one who hasn't LOL.
