As I mentioned back at the beginning, one of my earliest efforts in fanfic was to join the Dark Carnival round-robin. Sadly, that petered out rather than come to a successful conclusion. I think in part this was because it had split into several plot threads and there weren't enough writers willing / able to carry each thread forward.
That round-robin was the closest I've come to collaboration; I've occasionally written sequels to others' works, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
liadtbunny kindly drew an illustration inspired by Genius and Geniality, but I think those are further from what I'd think of as collaboration than round-robin chapters.

What is this 'research' of which you speak?
I think the most fun I had whilst (notionally) researching, was visiting the Romney Marsh at the time I was writing Death on the Marsh. I got to ride on the steam railway and walk around the streets of Dymchurch on a nice sunny day.

unconventionalcourtship. The prompts not only give you the gamut from straightforward romance to almost-gen adventure to utterly bonkers crack, but ready-made plot outlines. The rules aren't particularly onerous, which reduces the pressure, and there are no worries about being assigned a prompt which can't be written. And then there are all the fake novel covers, too. Writing hasn't flowed particularly easily for me this year, but my three UC fics just came tumbling out.
