je suis collaborateur
Or maybe that should be 'collaborateuse'?
As most folks know, I've been editing and betaing for![[info]](https://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
Lothi since about five minutes after I snuck into the Mac-verse (after picking a lock on a back entry). We've talked occasionally about actually collaborating, and ironically enough, we have finally done so -- not on MacGyver, but on The Man From UNCLE, Lothi's current new passion. Specifically, she started working on a mildly AU gapfiller to an episode with a rather lame ending -- okay, a totally lame ending -- and I ended up inviting myself along for the ride, so to speak.
Act I of "The Matriphobia Affair" is posted here on ff.net, or you can read it with pretty screen caps here on Lothi's LJ. Act II is under construction.
(Actually, Act I takes place during Act II of the original episode, and Act II will be set towards the end of Act IV. Did everyone get that? There will be a test later on.)
The story could also be called Illya's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. In other words, whumpage.
The actual collaboration part was a treat. Now that I think of it, Lothi and I have been working together for over two years -- and I originally wangled my way into her good graces because the quality of her writing had struck me so powerfully when I first encountered it. (Smacked me right between the eyes, it did.) Her influence got me to dare to write again, and there's a nice note in this of coming full circle.
Just as long as I get another ride around the merry-go-round! I refuse to get off!
And no fear -- this hasn't prevented me from continuing to make progress on my current Mac story. I'm currently working on this stack of books from the library . . . and taking a couple of the books, and my writing, with me on vacation next week. Heck, the last time I went on vacation, I came back with several fat sassy plot bunnies, one of which grew up and became Revision.
