I enjoy collabs, and love the way they can bring out character development, relationships and well, your skill as a writer. Honestly, I've had collabs be very long, from meeting someone, to figuring out, hey, these two characters click, lets see how this goes. Yes, you get carried away, yes, it doesn't necessarily involve everyone else, but the point is, its development, and it actually is disrespectful to not read it. 

I read everything. Why? Because I can get all fan girl-y over it and squeal and such at adorable moments or have an insight into others characters. 

That being said, its time for me to go read the latest posts and post myself ^.^
