Ok, that's settled, though I did have the same misgivings as Blue.  I actually did walk away from a recent story because I felt like I was more of an NPC than a fellow writer.  My partner basically wrote his character in such a way that I had to constantly accommodate how he posted and it was frustrating.<br/><br/>No communication as to what his thoughts or plans were, just BAM, now deal with it.  It came to a head when he tried to force a sex scene with no notice, with HC basically assuming that MC would be passive while he groped and molested her.  He actually thought it was a wonderful idea, actually crowing in the OOC pm that he had a surprise for me in his post.  I called him on it in a pm, then wrote a very effective closing to the story with her running one of her dirks up under his ribs to tickle his heart and lungs with the tip of it for a few minutes.<br/><br/>Fun surprises are just that, fun...for the characters if they're talked about in PM. I can separate myself from MC and have them act accordingly, but doing something to MC and not talking me about it?  Nuh uh.<br/><br/>I'll never write one on one with him again because of his attitude.
