Hey everyone.

I joined this site awhile back and I post pretty sporadically. Real life gets in the way ya know?

Anyway, I've written fics for other fandoms but I aspire to write a solid fanfiction about the HP universe and I would like to have a co-author for the fic. I find that many of the ideas I come up with I have a hard time organizing and putting down to paper.

I'm mainly interested into AU/time travel stuff, but I'm open to any other ideas or suggestions.

PM me if you're interested and we can discuss more details. Best regards!

 

If you want to write a collaborative fix you're probably better off hanging around irc and posting some of your writing so you can figure out who shares your interests and have them get an idea of the sort of writing you do. Time is precious and most of us rather not commit to something that won't be written or, worse, not match our expectations when it is.

 

I'll add that writing with other people is hard, it's a very involved relationship. Besides compensating and complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, you have to be able to communicate with each other really well. Not everyone clicks. I've had to co-author stuff that wasn't fanfiction and it was miserable, even though I liked and respected the people I was working with. 10 years ago I might have signed on for an idea I really liked, but I'm pretty sure anyone with experience isn't going to sign on for an open casting call .

 

As someone who's done it before, co-authoring is a terrible idea. Inevitably, you're not going to be 100% satisfied with some of the directions taken and when that happens, it's game over.
