Always a collaboration with any partner I've had. We take a plot or idea and build on it with our own put together ideas until we have somewhere to start. This is of course all other partners I've had and people I look to write with. It's a team effort. We also never plot too much where we have the whole roleplay talked out because it gets stale. There's no excitement in already knowing what will happen. There should surprises, plot twists, etc.
