27 - Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?
28 - Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?
Short answer; yes. I have. LOL I look at all of the MSVs as collaborations simply because those characters are the creations of the other people involved in the story. I wouldn't have created them the way Nan or Gin or Lady or SFC or Mad would so they affect how the story goes in that way.
I also see the plotting I've done in the Sueniverse as a collaboration too for similar reasons and also because those stories are frequently shaped by Jams or Lady or Sam.
In the more traditional sense, I've done some collaborating with Lady (No Man's Land, the MSV Goddesses fic, some post Yarr stuff...) and with Jams (even if she doesn't count it... there's the funeral chapter of A Time to Every Purpose and the Roommates verse... and the Avengers Exiles actually... ;) ). Also the Supervillainesses Round Robin definitely counts in my mind. I've loved playing with that! :D As for artists, while no one's every illustrated my work, I have been inspired to write by Beck's work and that lead to the two of us writing back and forth on a fic, which was SO much fun! :D
It would be exceptionally cool to see some of the stuff I'd done illustrated, but as I can't draw and I don't want to be all "HEY DRAW MY OCS BECAUSE THEY'RE COOOOOOOOL!" (because no. LOL) I doubt it'll ever happen.
But I do love plotting and working with all of you! Thank you for making me a better writer, everyone! *hugs all around*
