Re: Co-writing a scene; any advice?

[inevitableentresol]

As a reader, the main problem with a co-written scene is the shifting points of view. Even in dialogue, the scenes in a story need to be from one person's point of view, or 3rd person, or whatever you're going for, but consistently. Dialogue tags, physical descriptions of reactions etc need to be only from that angle.

I've read far too many fics where the POV changes each paragraph and it's not fun to read.

You should probably talk about that with the other person before you start.

Ooh, good point! I've made a note of that in the preliminary notes. (I think I know which POV to use--when one character explains something to someone else, the story usually focuses in on the character who doesn't understand at first.)

Re: Co-writing a scene; any advice?

[inevitableentresol]

Good point. It's standard practice to use the POV of the person who knows least in any story, to help the reader be guided in, like the role of the assistants in Doctor Who.
