I want to write missions, but I need help. by Calista on 2011-09-13 21:13:00 UTC Reply

You guys probably know me from the chat room. I got Permission about a year ago and I've been hanging out at the PPC. I have a couple of agents (Jane Doe and Jason Harris), but I haven't written anything with them other than an intro piece.

I keep encountering stuff I want to kill, but I have writer's block. So... I was hoping somebody would be willing to do a co-write with me--get my agents some training and get me out of the writer's block. My agents are in Floaters, so I could pretty much do anything--Sues, slash/het, crossovers, whatever. I'm (a decade) over 18 if it matters.

Any takers? We'd have to have compatible time zones; I'm usually available after 9 p.m. EST, or after 4 p.m. if it's not Tuesday or Thursday.

I like a lot of stuff, mostly books. A few movies, a few computer games, but mostly books, lots of classics, sci-fi, fantasy. Dystopian fiction is a recurring theme. I'm a fan of musicals, too.

I guess with books, it's not like a TV show where you watch it every week and there's always something new--you read a book, and that's it, and you find another; I've accumulated a lot of favorites that way.

I stuck 'em on the wiki.

Well, I suppose the next step would be to find a badfic. (nm) by Pretzel on 2011-09-14 05:18:00 UTC Reply

It'd have to be something we both knew at least peripherally.

I'm happy to give you advice or help co-write, but first, what's your fandoms?

As everyone else has said so far, knowing your fandoms would be great. I'm pretty versatile in that regard, so long as it's not tremendously obscure. My DMS agents only handle stories based on video game continuums, but my DBS agents are freelance, so they have a bit more leeway in that regard. I also have a Implausible AU agent and an upcoming pair of agents in the Department of Bad Parody (they're a little bit down the road time-wise, however.)

I'm usually available any time after 7 or 9 PM MDT (Mountain Daylight Time,) which would be 9 or 10 Eastern Daylight Time. I think.

Like IndeMaat, I'd like to know your fandoms first. As you've seen, my DMS agents work mainl in sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, with the occasional foray into crime dramas. My DBSers are Freelance, so they're good for most fandoms. I must say, though, that I'm not that big on anime/foreign genres, so I wouldn't be much help there.

As for my time zones, I'm usually available before 2 PM PST or after 9 PM PST (midnight EST), so I hope that's all right with you.
What fandoms are you into? by IndeMaat on 2011-09-13 21:38:00 UTC Reply

Just out of curiosity and because I think it could be a little bit relevant.

Do you want to take your training mission in any of the stuff you have lined up? Or do you really just want your agents to follow to more seasoned agents around and take notes. (Images of Scrubs and the huddle of interns following dr. Cox flashing through my mind. One of my agents would hate that so much.)

I'm on GMT+2 myself (until the end of October, when Daylight Saving Time ends), and I don't mind working on stories between ten and midnight. I've never done a co-write.
