So I have an idea for a contest of sorts. Unofficial of course., but involving a pairing of authors, hence the tag team.
The way it would work would be for whoever is interested to post in this thread and once we have everything hashed out (and hopefully we get an even number or it won't work) the authors are randomly paired off.
The teams then need to write a story together and once everyone has their's done we will submit them. We can get Laurel in on this and see to it they all post same time.
Of course there are a lot of details to be worked out. For instance would we pick a theme or a category that has wide variety such as fetish or EC? Would the story be split front to back between the authors or a mix or a he said she said two POV during the story?
Who's name would it be released under, or would it be a combined name created just for the contest?
There is also the possibility of making is "anonymous" and no one knows who the teams are(except each other of course) and each team makes up a name to post under.
As for a "winner" honestly I'm looking at it as more of an exercise and not so much a real competition. Once the stories are up we can discuss them in the thread and people can talk about which they liked the most or who worked better together etc....
Or we could simply go by score which is why it would have to be agreed upon as to category or theme.
Also due to everyone having different schedules and the fact many-like myself-have never co written and its new territory-I was thinking of giving it a decent amount of time to get the story together, perhaps 30 days.
Or maybe there is no interest in this, but I figured it could be interesting and fun to have people with completely different styles and ideas matched up together.
