I'm continually fascinated by how you say this fandom works. Since everything the other characters do affects your character, did you have to take turns writing? Or could you kind of follow your own plot with your own character? The latter sounds really interesting--more like bits and pieces coexisting to create a world rather than a single linear plot. I'm just not sure I can see how it'd work. But it sounds fun!

And then there's Three Deep, which is like no other collaboration I've ever seen.

I hadn't heard of that until lilianmorgan mentioned it above! It sounds fascinating...I can't wait to read.

And it sounds like a really complicated project with a really interesting approach. It's too bad the assigned scenes method didn't work out so well--it would be interesting to see how they all fit together if they wrote them without seeing the lead up, but yeah, I would think that would result in a whole lot of disconnect.

Another commentor above mentioned they had to change their method of collaboration part way through...I'm guessing most of us just feel our way through and attempt different ways of doing it until we find a rhythm.

Thanks for explaining how you've handled this! Both fascinating and helpful.
