How do you do collaborations etc? Like I remember seeing in the chapter summary in the body swap fanfic (I forgot the name xD) that some people helped. Also how often do you accept collaborations etc? Also do you proof read your own work, or does someone else help?

Sorry for the delay in answering! I just saw this! I haven’t actually done any official collaborations yet (though I have something in the works with a friend, and I’m participating in the Bang in December, which is a big collaboration event!) What you saw in my bodyswap fic was probably me making reference to some of the little fics and comics some people did for my DTIYS on my Twitter (which was super fun!)

I am a big fan of collaborating, though I feel like (with the exception of an event like the bang) I’d probably only choose to collab (at this time!) with someone I talk to and am comfortable with, simply because of how vulnerable you have to be in order to work together, you know? But if we chat and you have an idea for something to collab on feel free to throw it my way (though time is yet another factor… there is never enough of it to fit in all the projects I want to 😭)

As for proof reading, it depends! Some things I just proofread myself and sometimes I have a friend beta read it. Whether I have someone else help with beta reading usually depends on my confidence/comfort level in what I wrote (which tends to vary wildly 🤣)

Sorry for the long, rambling answer!
