I thought you’d previously said that although you produced the beginning of Elcenia this way, it wasn’t enough of your thing that you’d want to try it again. But maybe I misunderstood.
Today I probably won’t have the time, but I’ll see if I’ll manage to catch you tomorrow evening. (Or some day after that, if you’re busy tomorrow.)
It depended heavily on the rapport between me and my co-creator, but it worked pretty well for a couple of years and at peak we could gleefully write at each other for seventeen hours a day. We produced a couple million words of usable plot and character development and had a great time through most of it. I think I’m probably not good enough at Playing With Others to do this with arbitrary people, but you’re worth a try, and if the finished product is clearly intended to be yours, I think I can back off on my steamroller tendencies.

Hearing (well, reading) this gives me warm fuzzies. :-)
