So this happened not too long ago, but long enough that I dont know if people will remember...

Ever had a collab that went south? Maybe. But have you ever worked with someone to start a collab and then they remove your work when it comes to putting up the post? Bet you haven't.

So what happened? Well.... I jumped omto a pirate pad with a fellow player in an RP, cause I wanted my character to get more involved, and he posted up on the forum to say that he was free for collaborative writing. He wrote his part, I wrote some stuff, and I went to pass it back to him when he said he was waiting for a third party response of someone that was in the vicinity of the characters. Fair enough, so I left it.

I kept coming back and checked it out, noticing nothing else was done, and 2 days later I saw a post by that user go up. "Cool?" I thought cause I never really got to write more and it was a bit of a surprise.

When I read the post I saw that the guy had REMOVED my work and added his own stuff in. He progressed the scene without my character and I was left wondering what the hell did he do that for?

I just can't fathom, the logic of working with fellow writers should be the norm, but if you are going to reject your fellow players then go write a novel instead. There is no reason why you should be so selfish.

[b]Note:[/b] I ended up leaving the roleplay as the GM went MIA anyways.
