Writing partner wanted

Hi all,

I'm very interested in throwing around some ideas with another writer...I've noticed I tend to work better once I have someone to bounce ideas off and react to. Anyone interested in seeing if we could create something funny together? Sketches, sitcom ideas...or anything really!

My influences include Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr, League of Gents, Porridge, Python amongst many other obvious ones.

I've no preference about the age or sex of anyone that is interested...lets just try and make each other laugh!

Cheers

You may have to be a bit more specific,or maybe post some stuff up in critique so people can see what your humours like.Deleting Mr Gervais could be an advantage too,in my humble opinion..

No I think keeping him in is a great way to get rid of all the knob heads.

(I haven't used that term for years!)

your showing your age Zooo, we on the street say it all the time.

I found myself saying wazzock yesterday.

Sorry, Andy, for derailing your thread. I hope you find a nice partner jolly soon.

Personally I'd write with someone if they posted some stuff on the critique bit and I either found it to my liking or could see that it had potential that I thought I could bring out. Anyway, I'd put something up in the critique bit personally.

I am a writing slut. I will write with anybody!

I like to write with James Williams, I wish he'd post something, so I could decide if he could make me a star.

Ha! I tossed a sketch off and posted it in the early hours of this morning, but it's not terribly good. Just sort of liked the idea. For some reason I'm reluctant to post an episode of my sitcom yet, which I am reasonably proud of. Maybe I'll give it a wee redraft and stick up a scene.

Anyone had any experiences of writing with a partner? How do you decide how to divvy up the workload?

(p.s. zooo - you're a divvy (another oldskool word for yous)

Dunky [as opposed to donkey]. I think geography often has something to do with collaboration. But in todays modern communication less so. I've no idea what I'm talking about.

A good partnership needs an idea's man and a keyboard man, it is a classic combination.
Even better if you don't have the very same sense of humor as a different view or adding something new to an existing idea is what you should strive for.

By the way you are all gaylords........

That's a pretty good list of influences you've got there, Andy. But the others said, uoi should post something on the crit to give us a better idea of your writing style.

siounds to me like Andy's a bit too much under the influence.

Hey hey!!
Boom boom.

Although you can't seem to spell a simple word like "sounds", so methinks you might have had a drop.
