Our March creator panel, available to all our Patrons at the $7/month, $10/month, and $25/month levels, is coming up this Sunday, March 29th, at 4 p.m. Eastern time (converter)! Join Sebastian Marie, Puck Malamud, Rhosyn Goodfellow, Lucy K. R., and D. A. Hernández as we have a chat about collaborative creation: types that exist, methods we’ve used, great collaborations we’ve had, and what elements go into brewing the perfect group work of fiction!
Title: Approaches to Creating Collaboratively
Description: When we imagine writers, we often picture an individual toiling in solitude, leaning over a notebook and writing rapidly or with keys clattering away on a keyboard. However, this image neglects to consider the many ways there are for writers to collaborate with each other, and with artists, musicians, and other creators. Some writing activities, such as screenwriting, are routinely done by groups. There are many ways to collaborate on fiction writing, too – such as co-authors working together on a book or short story authors coming together on an anthology – and even more so when doing fanwriting. Storytelling approaches such as round-robins, bangs and reverse bangs, zines, collaboratively developed and written ‘verses, and other fandom activities are design with collaboration specifically in mind. In this panel, we’ll discuss types of collaborative writing, how we’ve found collaborators to work with, our own collaborative writing experiences and how they’ve gone, successes we’ve had and issues we’ve run into (and how we did, or didn’t, solve them), systems we’ve put in place to keep our collaborative writing projects “on the rails,” and other related topics.
