Let's write a short story together!

Hey. Anyone want to collab on a short story? Purely on a just-for-fun (or exercise) basis.

I'm thinking 1,000 - 3,000 words, not more. Genres: science fiction, horror, or humour (or all three combined, why the heck not). Actually, I'm fine with anything but chick-lit.

Anyway. If you're interested and want to check out how I write, here's some of the stuff I posted on AWWC:

My Sweet Valentine (sci-fi humour, 1,000 words)
Benzine Rock & Roll (fantasy/horror experiment, 1,500 words)
Chronologie 4: Survivors Will Be Shot Again (sci-fi humour, 1,500 words)
Tea & Cigarettes (flash fiction, humour, 500 words)

(pass to SYW: vista, pass to Suddenly Fiction: flashed)

Please post links to your stuff (preferably on AWWC) if you're interested. I'll read it and if we're both cool with each other's styles, then I'm sure we'll come up with something awesome. But plz, don't link to anything over 3,000 words. If you listen to Rock music and/or like video games, that's an automatic plus.

No point taking life too seriously - nobody makes it out alive anyway.

Cool, someone contacted me via PM. So if anyone else is interested, I guess we'd have to do it a bit later. I'm working on two stories of my own right now, so I don't think I'll be able to manage collaborating on more than 1 story at a time w/o messing up horribly. But I'll be sure to bump this thread once we're done. Cheers!
