I had a Pros-y idea...
...and I was tempted to post it to discoveredinalj, pairing people up, but I think the majority of people are still tied up writing for the Big Bang, so... I shall post here instead, and see. *g*
I'm re-reading a book in which the main character co-writes with other people (in between also writing her own mega-story), and I was thinking about how it'd been fun when I did that in the past. I wrote Let Nothing You Dismay with erushi, and (slightly differently, because it alternated with pictures), Of Myrrh and Light with empty_mirrors, and it was really good bouncing off each other - plus it was good inspiration to write, with someone else depending on you, and waiting for your next installment!
So, I was wondering... *g* Would anyone like to have a go at co-writing a story with me? Taking turn and turn about, writing little bits each at a time, until there's a whole new Pros story? It's got its own challenges, not swerving each other's plot or characterisation, trying to weave your voices together so that it can be polished at the end rather than picked apart, but as Cowley might say, When it works, it work... *g* Or if you'd like to do an illustration in between each bit of my writing that could be fun too (that's how Josey and I did Of Myrrh and Light, her pictures to my writing which was prompted by her pictures, which... *g*)
It could be by email or in a private lj post between us, or whatever works for you, and at whatever pace works best too (though I'll try and be fairly quick in my turn-around, because that usually works best for me - striking whilst the iron's hot). I'll have a go at cross-overs if I know the other source material, and the only condition I can think of on my side is that it's B/D (doesn't have to be explicit, just that B/D are definitely together). In fact I might even slide a bit to the side and offer to write another fandom if it's one I'm familiar enough with (eeh, scary! I've only done that once before, and even then it was really B/D - an LC Jack the Ripper story, Towards Home...) But I can be brave. *g* And the idea is that this will kick-start me into finishing some of the stories I have that are nearly-there, and one or two ideas that I've promised people before. I'll get there, I want to write Pros again, I'm just... trying to catch the coattails of the right muse when I see them out of the corner of my eye... *g*
I'll take on as many as offer to play with me - I do work best under pressure... *g* Feel free to comment or email if you'd like to... if a few people do then we could even have a whole wee flurry of new Pros fic... *g*
*crosses fingers and wanders off to watch Stake Out...*
