Well, I had my first collaboration with someone who wasn't one of my close friends recently, and it didn't turn out too well. (To that person, if you read this: I don't want to be very specific on a public medium, but my apologies for the way things fell apart.) Granted, it could've been worse, but at least I learned from it.

Anyway, in other news, Mr. Parkridge is recruiting for new... employees. *coughcough* Anyone interested should feel free to note me and we can set something up. General rules/guidelines/thoughts/disclaimers:

1.) Mr. Parkridge recruits females only.
2.) The writings I engage in are very explicit, but if you don't wish them made public, or don't wish your name put on them if they are let me know beforehand and that won't be a problem.
3.) I am a very patient person when I'm not working on a particular piece, but I must warn you that I tend to tunnel-vision on a piece of writing once I start it until it is finished. I don't LIKE putting pressure on my co-authors to produce more than they are comfortable with, but if I don't get SOMETHING done on a daily basis I will lose connection with the characters and scenario. Point being: contact me all you like and make preparations, but don't hit the "Go" button until you know you will have the time availble in your schedule to finish a piece with me.
4.) I will not guarantee an ongoing storyline; I will guarantee a single short-story, but nothing more than that. You might get lucky in that there may be good chemistry between us as co-authors, but don't expect it.
5.) My apologies for having to put all this down and be so strict about it, but I don't want to hurt anyone else's feelings who collaborates with me, so I want them to know what they're getting into before it starts.
