Comments on: Nail. Coffin. Hammer. Done. http://InDarkness.darkicon.com/2007/10/06/nail-coffin-hammer-done/ All of us... even the world itself... began in darkness.

I didn't remember if I ever came out and SAID what the deal was with Captive Souls in any definitive way. I've mentioned it in a few places, but I don't think I've ever made an official announcement until now. So it had to be said and I probably sounded a lot angrier than I intended here. Sorry about that; it appears to be a hereditary personality trait. It appears you may have heard from Rapina more recently than I have. For me, it has literally been years. I've got two email addresses for her, and I've had no response on either. But it has been a few months since I've tried one, and probably a year since I've tried the other; so maybe I'll try again. The mechanics of working with other writers vary according to the situation, and it sounds like good material for a separate blog post. Glad you're liking Wraith. I was recently contacted by some of the old guard at the Dragon's Inn, which is alive and well on Google now. There was some tentative talk of a collaborative Tower Guard story, but it died off rather quickly. I've subscribed to the group, but to be honest I haven't read a damn thing there. And obviously I haven't written squat in a while, so I'm not contributing anything original. When I start writing December stuff again, I might post to the newsgroup (or "forum" or whatever the hell it is now), but I might not. My reasons for being hesitant are also fodder for another post at another time. Nah, people typically know when I’m ticked off, even on the internet.

Thanks. Did not mean to tick you off like this, although maybe from the lack of cursing I didn't really tick you off. I won't mention it again. It's been a long time since I've heard from Rapina, but I do know that the last time I did she too was wanting to finish the story. Stuff happens though. Currently I'm going through Wraith, which I had never seen before. I'm about 4 or 5 chapters into it and finding it interesting. I am curious about how working with another author is accomplished. Does one person decide on events and another do the writing? do you pass things back and forth for editing before posting it? You've collaborated with at least two others that I know of, so I just wonder how it's done. Also, do you by any chance still contribute to the Dragon's Inn? I think at one time you were doing some work with a Cathy Mosly, and she's still there. Point taken. Thanks.
