Re: Co-writing a scene; any advice?

[nyxelestia]

Are you going into this RP-ing? Because if you aren't explicitly setting out to do that, then I don't think that's how dialogue co-writing/assisted writing would go.

More likely, you'd go in with a vague outline of the starting point of the conversation, the ending point, and ideas you want covered in the conversation, and then you two would bounce ideas and viewpoints off each other, which you would then rework into the characters voices and place into the dialogue. It would be loose RP-ing at best, with you chiming in with "your own" character, and your co-writer responding with what their own perspective/reaction might be or what the character might say - but that you would ultimately write into the character's own voice and words, if the Christian fan is really just helping you write and not out and out co-writing the scene.

Re: Co-writing a scene; any advice?

My concept of "RPing" is based around those things people post as fic sometimes--writer A says what character A does, and then writer B says what character B does, and so on, and then the lazy jerks post it without even editing out the tags indicating which writer wrote what. My goal was to start with the same process, then edit it into something more readable once it's all on the page. Am I totally off in my understanding of "RPing"?

Re: Co-writing a scene; any advice?

[nyxelestia]

There are a variety of types of RPing, but those are one type, definitely.

More to your specific case, my question is whether you and the Christian friend are actually going in explicitly intending to co-write or RP, or if you just asked them for help with the scene/dialogue/viewpoints and they said agreed to help, but didn't specify how.

You can do an RP thing to write the scene, but if your writing styles or interpretations of the characters are very different, this can make for a really awkward fic. I'd suggest, more aptly, that you do the bulk of the writing, with your friend "back-seat driving", contributing ideas and viewpoints at every turn in the fic, but not actually contributing words to the story. It will be much more cohesive as a fic, and it will give YOU a better understanding of both sides of the debate, which will show in your fic (if you do RP-ish, the dialogue might come off sounding more like a debate than a discussion).
