Question of the day part 6
FrickingKaos:
I will openly admit I've done things that I'm annoyed by lmao not that it makes sense or not.
I also agree with Steph, I don't like when people answer only certain reviews. It makes me want to read less and I lose interest in it.
kevmylove:
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?
mare:
Nope, the threads not dead, I'm just busy with back to school stuff. Remember guys just feel free to post your questions in here! :)

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 :P.
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.
Purpura Lipstick:
The only reason I was afraid to ask people to collab with me was because I've had people flake out on me and one person hardly gave me anything to write off of so I felt I was writing the whole plot and then their chapter would change what I had in mind and it went to pot! I avoided collabs until 00Carter.
As for smaller collabs, it's not that I've been afraid to approach an author, I just want to find authors that I think I would mesh with. I want to find someone whose style isn't so completely different than mine that the story just wouldn't work. And I wanted to find people that I got along with outside of fanfiction so that I knew we'd be able to chat and plan for the story and not dread talking to each other. :)
I don't think I've had anyone ask to collab with me that I turned down, I might have but I would have said what Rose did, that I was busy focusing on the stories I had going on at the moment.
