Have you ever collaborated with another writer?

[iwatchus]

I don’t know whether @Djmac1031 agrees, but I think I’d find colabbing over chat too noisy. We tend to read, absorb, think, reply. So the speed of the underlying communication method isn’t paramount. It’s more epistolary than chat-based.

And the ability to quote previous text easily in Lit PMs is helpful.

When I am feeling creative, I don't want to stop and think. That is for revising and editing. I want to let it pour out as fast as it will. I want to throw more coals on the fire and hope the stem vessel doesn't explode.

I actually prefer getting the google doc comments when editing collaboratively. I like to stop and think about each thing. That makes sense to me.

As I have been thinking about this tonight, I realized where my sense of good collaboration comes from. Many decades ago, I was a film major and I made several short movies, starting in high school and in my early years in college. Most of them were collaborative and we would sit around planning scripts and story boards and shots and everything with the films. That was this amazing rapid fire back and forth that really fueled the creative spirit in all of us.

I would love to do that collaboratively creating a story. This would be more the planning that the actual writing, although we did some script writing live (on typewriters).

If you have Nitro you can do different profiles for different servers

Thanks. I've been hesitant to try it.

Do you have Discord? That could be used as an alternative to Google chat. If you want anonymity from the collaborator, all you would need to do is create your own server and make a new profile for it.

Literotica has its own chat. Couldn't be easier.

Some people don't see the DM's though... and some people might prefer channels outside of Lit. I was just offering another option.

Google docs, emailing each other word documents (be careful that your name isn't attached), and private messages, mostly. Though with one we do talk on the phone regularly, it's not always about writing, lol. I also have Discord and discuss things there.

Personally, as long as you're okay with hearing another person's ideas and allowing them to work in your world or don't overtake theirs completely, it'll work out just fine. I'm pretty easy going. I gave @WhiteTailDarkTip my opening, he got ideas from it and started writing, when he'd get stuck, I'd step in to get things moving again and then we'd continue discussing what happens as we go. (And I think every time he sent it back to me I added to the sex scenes, lol.)

Sure did!

Also, voice chat is an option on Discord. No numbers or private info shared with each other. Just make sure you hit the voice button and not the video call button.

It's not really worth it. I keep meaning to cancel, but I do like having server specific profiles...

Have you ever collaborated with another writer?

Nope.

Nope.

This is my favorite movie. And if anyone I know ever stumble across my profile here, they will immediately know it’s me because who else says that?

Me and a friend of mine have quoted that many times. We also like to say ...

"I'm TRY-ING to use tha PHONE!!"

I don't feel bad about referencing it in my last story now. I was wondering if it was too silly/obscure.

Well now I have to read your story! Do we talk about your Big But?

 

[WCSGarland]

Okay, admittedly I am a wee bit tipsy here with all the rum I've imbibed... but how in the hell do you know that Kelliezgirl has a big butt?

 

[pink_silk_glove]

Two words: Large Marge.

You’ve never seen Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, have you?

 

[WCSGarland]

You’ve never seen Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, have you?

Never. I always found him more annoying than any other person on the planet.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

planet

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! He said the secret word! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!

 

[WCSGarland]

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! He said the secret word! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Now it changes right?

 

[KikiKisses]

It’s OK to be wrong.

Anyway, context:

 

[KikiKisses]

Not until the next episode. What are you, from some other planet?

 

[WCSGarland]

It’s OK to be wrong.

Anyway, context:

Ok to be wrong? How was I wrong? That man annoyed me and made me want to hacksaw my ears off whenever I heard his voice.

 

[Kelliezgirl]

I made a reference to this scene

I know you are but what am I

You could’ve shown me any scene and I would’ve been crying with laughter. This movie makes me happier than anything on earth except for you know, my family or whatever.

A college friend introduced me to it. He can do a spot on "big shoe dance".

I made a veiled reference to him in the same story, the MMC's mentions that his college roommate would put Pee Wee's Playhouse on when he was stressed out.
