And I'm maybe kinda putting out feelers to the hard-core flisters here about collaborating with me on something.
If it contains 1) Lorne 2) Dirty, smutty sex (as opposed to that completely unsmutty sex?), 3) Lorne + awesome skills 4) wacky offworld adventures 5) spanking, 6) in space!, I'm totally in ;)
(Okay, not with the spanking)
(probably)
ANYWAY. I've only co-written a couple of fandom things. One was a story, and I had a great time. We alternated scenes and POVs, and it was fun and challenging. We mapped out where we wanted to go first, and then had a series of back-and-forth conversations about details of scenes as we wrote them and sent drafts to each other. The other was Merc Talk, that 'magazine' that I co-wrote with ozsaur, and we basically did a brainstorm thing about articles to write, and then wrote them and edited them for each other. In both cases, I think it was important to have a mutual sense of where we wanted to go.
I've written some non-fiction things with another person, and the same thing goes. We did brainstorm about how to approach the writing, with a sense of our endpoint (although that did evolve as we were writing), and then split the writing according to our skills/preferences. And then there were many drafts sent back and forth with edits and questions and so on. It was very enjoyable!

Well listen, you know I'm just not comfortable with that scene, OMG.
