Looking to do a writing collab...?

Question

I want to do writing collab for the center of my theme I thought I could do something like this alone but I thought it would be cool if I took everyone's and put together to make a good book. The thing is this is sort of sci-fi (Note fiction) kinda book and the theme is wierd. The creation of man was by extra-terristal life and the reason we can use only ten percent of brain is because it was fail safe so we wouldn't become smarter then our creators but people I have now started showing up who have abilities who make us different from others.

Let me tell you from one who writes professionally both on my own and with a writing partner. It is a very tough road. It takes a lot of trust. Don't just give your material to someone you do not know without checking them out first. There will be many fights and arguements. You will have to be very mature in order to get past that and work together. My partner and I have had some real winners as far as fights go. Also, in order to write with another person, you have to enter into some kind of contractual agreement. Otherwise, one partner can bolt at any time and take the work with them. These are things you need to consider before taking on a writing partner. Also, your styles must gel. It took my partner and I a long time and a lot of concessions to come up with a fluid, cohesive style that you both agree on and can work with. Otherwise, the work will come out sounding like a patchwork quilt. Give this some thought. Pax - C.

Sadly, the whole "10% of the brain" thing turns out to be a busted myth (per Mythbusters.) Still, I like your idea. So, once people start "showing up" (may I assume that means "were born"), does the master race come back into the picture?

I see a whole Battleship Earth meets X-Men type of project. It sounds good to me.
