In my
end-of-the-year post, I indicated that I was trying something that I had never done before (in the writing realm, that is). And here it is:
alba17 and I are co-writing a fic!
It’s exciting and very, very different in lots of ways. My writing experience has almost always been that of locking myself away from the world and creating in solitude, be it physical or mental or both. Collaborating makes me work quite differently, forces me to consider my process and someone else’s; this is a good thing.
alba17 was my first friend in the TW/DW fandom - in fact, she’s my first online-to-offline friend ever. We came into the fandom around the same time, started reccing fic to each other, and realized we have very similar tastes and interests. She and I have been beta-reading each other’s fic as long as we’ve been writing it, I guess. (
kadairk is my other beta.) Co-writing felt like a natural progression.
The story idea was all
alba17’s, as is the first chapter; I asked to join her on this project. I want to thank her for taking me on, and for posting it all. Chapter 2 is more my work, with a lot of her suggestions and edits. We'll probably go on this way, alternating chapters.
Just in case I have one or two friends who are not also friends of
alba17, I’ll be linking to chapters as they’re posted over on her journal.
Enjoy!
