Just curious to hear what some other users think of the idea. First off, let me say that I despise how many definitions there are for the term. "Doubling up on characters," "doubling on stories in the same universe," "trading stories you're craving."
In my opinion the latter is the best definition for the term, everything before that being multi-character roleplay instead imo. So, what we're talking about here is craving for craving. I absolutely love the concept, because you get your own idea, and you also get to explore someone else's deepest interests you get to explore with them as well! The one thing I find disappointing with most people who are doubling though is the fact that 99% of those writers still don't wanna go beyond their personal interests/limits. Like, I get being against underage stuff, since I don't wanna do that myself for ethical reasons, but anything else? I'd love to just let loose! Most of the time people are looking to double for the reason of not finding any takers at that, so I expect weird shit to come from it, but even if it's not that unusual and just a drag to find someone for, I'm simply in love with the concept! Both are happy with what they get, no compromises need to be made, and hopefully both are happy to do someone else a favor as well! Anyway. If you're a passionate writer and love doubling at that, you're cool in my book
