NEW** A friend and I want to co-author a fic and both receive the profits for it. How do we go about this?
Unfortunately there is currently no way for two people to receive the profits for the same book/chapter, and no way for two authors to be listed as having published the same book/chapter. Past solutions for those who have co-authored fics at F&B include: • Splitting the fic into two parts and having one person publish the first half and the other person publish the second half. • Alternating the chapters – one person publishes the odd-numbered chapters, and the other publishes the even-numbered chapters. Having one person publish all the chapters and then asking a Librarian to split the profits between two authors manually is not an option. The person who publishes a fic is the person who receives the profits, and you are free to work out who gets which profits between yourselves. To avoid confusion and unnecessary plagiarism investigations, it is advised that you owl a Librarian about your plans to co-author before you both start publishing chapters.
