Joint Stories; How to write them. - Writers Forum

Well, me and a good friend are planning on write a joint story. We pretty much have the basic outline set out, and when we've usually done joints, we've done one person does one chapter, another does the other. Do you agree with this method or should we be doing something different? I'm not sure if there are methods for doing it, which is why I am asking.

You write as the hero and your friend writes as the villian.

Just an option.

That's kind off difficult.

The way the story goes, that just wouldn't work.

Thanks though,

Tom.

Your way sounds good. Then your partner can critique your chapter and you can critique the other chapter thus creating an exceptional flow you wouldn't get on your own.

Like they say 2 minds are better than one.

The collaborative writing have proved to be efficient, there are a lot of sites that say so, even the wikipedia: Collaborative writing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So I wish you luck and please, tell us the name of your writing to see it.
