Answer 1

Hey cristine,
Try Webex by At&t. My company has their own version of this, essentially you Call on the phone, and both log into a Web meeting. Then one of you shows your desktop to the Web Conference, and now you are thinking as one, instantly. With a phone package for All Distance (one fee as many minutes as you need on a land line), you just need to pay for the Web Conferencing. I never priced it personally - would be interested in your results.

Also, there is a Feature of XP called Remote Assistance, where you can invite a friend to control your computer - you could leverage that to work with someone. Find that in the START --> Programs --> Accessories menu of XP.

Answer 2

If you don't mind letting the world see your story nfiction.com is a good idea, it's an online database where people can write stories under a penname and other members can review the stories and give criticism and complements. Just make a penname for you two to share and you can upload alternative chapters!

Or if you want to keep it private do what the first person suggested and make an account on a blogging website such as livejournal.com and you two can write that way! Good luck!

Answer 3

You two could create a private blog online and both have the password to it. That way, you can both go in and write what you want, then can look over what the other had already written. You could leaves comments to each other on what you had written.

Answer 4

You need to email it back and forth as an attachment.

Answer 5
