My first ever collab

TheVClaw was super helpful last night. I stayed up until 5 AM(!) to work with him in making the ultimate bee sting fiction. At first, I was very intimidated. After all, he was a professional writer and I was an amateur. I certainly did feel a couple tinges of humility as he corrected my mistakes throughout. But, I did learn many techniques from him, and I want to try my best to emulate his writing in the future. My hat's off to him. He didn't have to offer, but he did, and I'm forever grateful for his teachings. If you want to read the result of our collab, it can be found here. (NSFW).

What's it like, working in collaboration? I mean, how does the process even work? Was the whole thing written together, or did you write different parts and kibbutz at each other? Details!

Well, he opened up Google Docs, we briefly discussed what the story was going to be like, then we started writing. He wrote the first paragraph to get us started and I add my parts to continue the story. He handled Braeburn's descriptions and dialog, while I wrote Fluttershy's dialog and actions. We also covered each other's mistakes while we were writing, so the editing process was covered as well.
