[quote=@AirBender]Oh, speaking of collabs, I guess this is important to mention. I hate using pads for collabs. It makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable when somebody watches me write. So if you want to collab with me, we can either use PMs, or I'll write my pieces somewhere else, then post them to the pad once they're finished. No exceptions, it seriously makes my skin crawl.[/quote]

Ah, I can understand - there are times I would write my parts on MS Word or Notepad first, then I cut-and-paste them to the collab pads later. After many collab experiences I'm now more open to write directly on the pad, but sometimes I still prefer to write the draft somewhere before I show others my finalized stuff.

Other than the common pad, you can use other alternatives for specific-player collabs, no problem.

The reason why I highly encourage collab writing is not just because I have an eternal hatred for one-liners and speed-posting in IC, but also that I am keeping track of the IC as much as all of you guys do. I get miffy if the flow is choppy and awkward, which messes up my reading rhythm and pace, preventing me from feeling the plot and characters well.
