      You all know that I love to write.
\n      You probably also know that I LOVE my Happy Potato (aka Timothy) and that he too, is fond of writing. In fact, his “Shifting Ages” remains one of my nostalgic favorite fantasy stories of ALL TIME.
\n      Back in the day, Tim and I wrote several stories, in rounds, on various blog-sites. One of which, I had published for us as “The Bitch” via LuLu<\/a> – it is a silly, frothy, fun romp through what was pop culture back in the mid-oughts. We also started half-a-dozen other pieces, some of which got fairly intricate, others were were sort of abortive…
\n      Anyway – we are currently in the early stages (we’re PLANNING and BRAINSTORMING and WORLD-BUILDING this time!) of a big collaborative project, the likes of which the interwebs have not seen since its inception!
\n      Possibly… that is an exaggeration.
\n      Still, we are psyched!
\n      We started writing back in forth in Google Drive – just boinking ideas back and forth, tweaking scenarios, talking…
\n      I’m excited, okay? A new project – you know, like I don’t have enough on the burners at the moment, haha – to work on , new thoughts to think, new characters to embrace. And all of it, I get to share with my bestie and my sistie – Timothy!
\n      Anyway – be on the look-out for snippets from this as-yet-unnamed collaborative effort. There will be magic, there will be love in all its forms, there will be lore and danger and drama! It will be *singsongy* AWWWWWEEESOMEEEE!
\n      Collaborative Efforts are hard though.
\n      Sometimes you cannot agree on things. Sometimes, you agree on things, but they suck, so you have to edit\/fix them. And then you disagree on how to fix it. Even though Tim and I are pretty much on the same page, we’ve sure had some rows in the past about the story and how it goes. Like when he kept *End Simulationing* me during the Bitch, and it was so frustrating to have the whole cast of characters change on a dime. All the rules? Out the window1 Continuity – fuck it!
\n      We’re doing structure and timelines this time, all that junk, to avoid the issues we’ve had in the past with keeping a story going long enough to really… rock… so… I’m hoping that by announcing it here and keeping on Tim to update his part… we can make it to a full novella! It’ll be awesome!
\n      Tim – if you’re reading this, we GOT this, this time, right?<\/p>\n
