Me, to Jo: Hey, I have this idea for a short story that I think would be a great project for us to collaborate on.
Jo: What’s that?
Me: *Tells him idea*
Jo: *adds to idea*

Jo: Nah. It definitely hasn’t done that.
Me: No?

I did a collaborative project recently over on the 2xCreative community on LiveJournal (incidentally, if you use LJ and we aren’t friends there… you know how this ends right? –> Moi On LJ). I was paired up with Dragon-Gypsy who is an artist. She and I had one month to come up with a creative project to do together and both of us were pretty short on time, but not enthusiasm. In the end I wrote a story and she illustrated it. It turned out great, and I enjoyed the collaboration. It was good to have deadlines and work with someone with the common goal of creating something creative and cool. Thank you Mab! You rock.
