I'm interested in writing a story and collaborating with a woman so that there is the perspective of both sexes. I'd like the story to be authentic and pulling off writing the perspective of the opposite sex doesn't always work well.
It might also be tricky with concerns about copyright issues although I myself don't really plan on publishing, the woman may.
Also, which Forum would be the best to post for a request for a co-author?
Thanks in advance!

Ive co written a few stories as well (with Milik, Poppet, and Delphi) Each one has been a different but rewarding experience.
Thanks Echelon, I should have posted in that section in the first place! I'll give that a try.
Actually, thanks to ALL of the responses thus far!! Still finding my way around here and what works and what doesn't worrk. I'm glad to see there are many helpful people here on LS!
I have co-written several stories. What worked in both situations was to share the stories in google docs and work on it in tandem. Most of the time this was done in the order of the story, but occasionally one of us would be inspired and write a section that would fit in later. I think it is important for you to be working on the same document to maintain the flow and continuity of the story and see if there are jarring changes. I should mention that we did not necessarily write for our own genders in the stories, carrying on with the story as it unfolded. You will have to see what works for you and who should post the story as it will appear on their profile page with the co-author credited on the story page.
I hope that helps.
Principessa,
The google docs sounds like a great way to collaborate, I'll have to familiarize myself with it, thanks for the tips! I'm new here and still feeling my way around so all the help that's been given is really appreciated. Seems like there are some really good people here on LS and I hope to get to know you all better as time goes by!
My ex-wife and I collaborated on a story once and we learned a lot about each other that we might not have learned otherwise, as well as how our specific genders perceive particular situations, emotional as well as physical. Not to mention that it was fun!

Looking for someone with similar style to collaborate on a story
