Have you ever collaborated with another writer?

I just had a fun experience. I'm new to this site (I have read things off and on for a few years.) I really like stories that are set in the past, the 1940s and 50s are favorite eras. I stumbled across a series by @forgotmyantidepressants called "Ride Home" that really spoke to me. The characters seemed very real and the backstory was compelling. When I got to the 4th story I excitedly went to find the next chapter and that was it! Left me on a cliff-hanger! I reached out to her and she told me she wasn't going to finish it, but that in her mind it ended happily. I asked her permission to write a last chapter as a sort of a fan-fiction to help wrap it all up in in my mind. She gave me her blessing, and then was happy with the result!

I'm so glad she didn't think I was too weird for that! It was such a fun experience and it made me wonder if other people have done something similar. I know there are collabs on here, but this was a little different.

Here's her 4 part series: https://www.literotica.com/series/se/493817829

Here's my contribution: https://www.literotica.com/s/one-more-ride-home

I was trying to cram a lot of ideas into one story and get through the plot, so I didn't do as much descriptive work as I might have liked. I wanted to match her writing style a little more too, and if it was a true collaboration I probably would have worked harder on that. But I also didn't want to seem like a plagiarist. If I was doing something like ghost-writing, I definitely would have tried harder to match the style.

I never thought I would enjoy working with another writer, or doing ghost-writing. I have definitely changed my mind.

I’m late to this party but here goes. We’ve collaborated with @AwkwardMD , and we solved the profile problem by making a shared account for our collaborations (link in my signature). It’s important for both to get to refresh when the story launches after all. We write in Google docs and it’s very seamless and intuitive. It was interesting to see that others had tracked who wrote how much, we don’t even always remember ourselves who wrote which part.

I almost forgot: last year I wrote a chapter of a chain story.

I was part of this too! A very different experience.

When Athalia was alive…

Oh man! I’m so sorry for your loss. I think this was the saddest post I’ve seen in a long while.
