I would love to see this happen also, as I have several stories with a handful of other author's. We have them split, though. I have a few, they have a few. But, it would be nice if we could somehow share equally.
I do know this has been asked to Gav and if I remember correctly, can't be done. But, I could be wrong, or mistaken.
Seeings how I am currently co-writing a story I am all for this idea. Hell I would be anyway.
If I can think of anything that hasn't already been said I'll pop my head back in here.
I would be very interested in this as well as I have co-written a few stories with other authors and always wanted to be able to put their name in the title along with Mine. If there is a way to do this so that both authors get named in the title that would be cool - as far as "credit" for the story (who gets the story count, votes, etc.) that is of little matter to Me. I just want it to say
Story Title

Master Jonathan and Other Author
Let's keep it simple. The submitter of the story gets credits for views, comments any derived badges and competition prizes. The submitter can add one or more contributors to their story, these are simply links to their respective profile pages. They are free to add or remove contributing authors at anytime without moderation. The co-writer will receive an automatic PM when they are added to a story.
Later on we can add a section to profiles showing which other stories they have co-written.
I dont see any value for the reader to have a separate category for co-written stories, sorry MR!
Haven't co-authored anything yet but nice to know that there are options if/when I do. I'm a bit of loner, though.
I think co-authors should be allowed the option of equal credit, just as when listed in the story que, that two names instead of one would appear. I would like to see that personally.
This feature is now up.
Let me know if you have any feedback or want anything changed (especially if you spot any of my spooling mistakes).
