The thing about the rodeo is you have to WILL it to be fun. Otherwise is crowded and tacky and smelly and disappointing.
It's surprising to me, too, that you couldn't tell which parts she wrote. But I think it's important that people NOT be able to tell...Well, I mean, there's something to be said for cowriting a fic just for the fun of it; it doesn't have to be a mastwork. But if you do want to produce a good story from it it should be a blending of styles. What interests me there is although I feel like I can write in a bunch of different styles, I've never written NOT in MY style, if that makes sense. There's a rhythm to my words that's always there, even when I'm doing a completely new style in a fic. So it would be interesting to write something with someone and produce something that I couldn't have done alone.
Which seems an obvious point to make, but yeah, I'm rambling.
