Collaboration Fiction Is Increasingly Becoming Popular

By Arline Bradley


This is a form of writing where a number of authors share creativity in writing a story. Collaboration Fiction is becoming increasingly popular. People engage in this form of writing for various reasons. Some of this include; recreation, part of education and as a way of commercial gain.

It can also be viewed as a group of people writing together. To many, this definition sounds subliminally correct because it exposes the idea that all writing is an outcome of two or more people. This is evidenced by that fact that writers use ideas, language or tips they inherited from works done by other writers.

Collaborative writing is greatly being encouraged in classrooms and academic research. In many institutions it is used to enhance learner centered programs. In such cases the role of lecturer is no longer teaching but instructing the learners. The tutor becomes more of a mentor than a teacher. His main work in such scenarios is to provide opportunities for students to carry out research and writing together. This new method has proved to be very effective and raised performance in schools.

There are certain legal issues that should be observed when a group comes together to do research or a writing. It is necessary that they have an agreement that exists with clear rules on the way forward in different situations. It should be clear on who retains right to work done in case the partners part ways, define the terms and conditions of separation and state the procedure for termination of the partnership. It should be noted that working with others is not easy and can have several challenges. Some of them include lack of commitment by a member, a lot of pressure from the partners, one of the co-workers may lose interest in the process and also when a partner gets bored the process may not be very effective and fast as planned.

This fiction has also been used to encourage community contributions in writing. In 2008, TED prizes were awarded Dave Eggers for his outstanding work in 826 projects. His projects have been drafted using techniques that engage community groups and school children in writing.

Recreational collaborative writing has taken root in the recent periods and has been enhanced by the advent of internet. This type of writing is open and there are no particular guidelines on how it should be passed to people. An example is writing games that engages cooperation from different people.

One should be careful when choosing co-writers. This is because they determine the quality of work done and the experience one is going to have in the whole process. When one is choosing a partner he should consider the level of commitment and interest. Co-writers are there to share ideas of writing.

One should ensure that they work smoothly with other authors. There are a number of tips that one can observe to ensure efficiency while working with others. Some of them include respecting the strengths and weaknesses of your co-worker. Writers can work jointly in research and also writing.
