leethetDay 28 – Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?
No. I don’t see how it’s possible! In fact, once I polled some people in HP about how they collaborated because I simply can’t imagine it working (even though it clearly does – many collaborations are just fantastic). I can’t imagine writing a story with someone else and either enjoying the process or having it come out well, even though I’ve seen that it can happen. Fascinates me.
In HP a couple of artists have done art for my stories (Lizardspots did a sort of comic strip, trekkiegrrl and yael created single scenes), not in collaboration but just because they felt like it. It's very cool to see how other people interpret scenes, and how close they sometimes come to what I was seeing in my head. I don't know if that's coincidence or simply that I described it effectively - you really can't know - but it's very cool to see how others visualize my words.

She didn't tell me how to write mine and I didn't tell her how to write hers. The interacton between them was fascinating, however, almost like we weren't writing but just watching them interact and taking notes.
When I write by myself, I do control everything. But if you're willing to sacrifice some of that control, you gt the adrenalin rush of risk. The pay-off is like living with the characters in a real world.
