Good to see you finally decided to pop in here. As for the green, I'd imagine highlighting the dialogue may or may not make it easier on the eyes for people; hard to say.

On the subject of collaboration vs. back-and-forth, I don't have a particular preference off the top of my head but admittedly I've had a lot more experience with the latter. I've only really done collaborations with Ailyn and with the person who got listed as a "Special Mention" in my bio. Admittedly, those collaborations (not even full collaborations; more like back-and-forth with OOC discussion going on in the background to make sure things were collaborated, since we never role-played each other's characters outright) were the best role-playing experiences I've ever had.

One of my proficiencies as a writer also happens to be that I'm rather good at taking role-plays that are completed and then converting them into proper narrative that would work for novels (assuming the back-and-forth had not managed to do this convincingly, which becomes more likely an issue with longer posts).

As for your comment about relating role-play to real life... well. xD I don't exactly make a habit of letting anyone "GM" my life.
