It's all about the shiny. Tacky commercialism, cowboys, and hey, enjoying yourself. Holy trinity, baby. *single perfect tear*
You make me want to go the rodeo so much!! And pizza on a stick?!!! *desires* I'm always initially unsure of events like rodeos, but then I end up embracing the shininess of the whole thing. I've had that experience at sporting events and recently when I went curling (I felt SO Canadian!).
Another interesting writing question! I've enjoyed reading the responses.
I've never written collaborative fanfic but I write scripts with a writing partner. We always plan out the story and themes ahead of time, and have a very detailed outline, although there's always lots of flexibility when we write. We always write together (ie. in person) with one of us actually doing the writing and the other person commenting, and suggesting whole sections and/or additions. We tend to switch off depending on our moods, or who has the voices down better. Editing happens during the writing process, and afterwards.
Even though it's weird to have someone looking over your shoulder as you write, it's awesome because there's constantly someone to bounce ideas off of, to correct and to make what you're writing better. It's also amazing to be tightening phrases or taking the other person's idea and running with it. I do love writing alone and having total control, but it's very affirming and productive to write with a partner.
