I want to talk about writing/creating with you! If you'd like to talk with me, leave a link to a bunch of your fic/vids/art/other creative things, and I'll choose one that makes me curious and ask you to tell me about it, with some specific questions. You can do this in a post, or a reply, or however you would like.

If you want to talk with others, you can repost this.

More general questions: Do you have a specific medium or method for co-writing?

If you could write any of those proposed rule 63 articles, which would you most like to see actually exist?

I think that for a collab with you, it would be most interesting to write an article for fannish people about the 4th wall -- that line between fic and "real life," and when it can be crossed.

It's difficult in sports because a lot of sports writers also write fiction (like me). What is the line in your fandom?

There are a few previous articles about this, let me research.

Oh goodness, I find that line crossing to be so deeply embarassing for all parties. Its part of the reason why I'm not really *in* fandom at the moment, because I can't handle watching stuff like that happen. I know it has happened a LOT in Carmilla fandom, with somewhat disastrous results: two of the actresses did a dramatic reading of a fanfic, clearly intending to make fun.

I find it is usually the smaller fandoms (like mentioned in that article) where creators are genuinely thrilled to see their work getting any attention.

And then there's Hannibal, of course, which had a... pretty unique response to fandom.

For fandoms of fictional characters, I don't think the line is quite as... heavy. (To be clear, I think RPF is awesome and can/should be done whenever/wherever. It just makes me a bit boggly to think about the truly bizarre feelings that reading about yourself might conjure.)
