i've fairly recently started writing my own story. It's mostly about *me*, not about *us*, though; of course, because we share a body, there's necessarily some overlap, but it's somewhat personal for me. If the others want to contribute commentary, i'm open to it - and Phipt has even taken the liberty of inserting an entire paragraph into my manuscript, which i've allowed to stand, as it illustrates a point that i was trying to make very well.
At some point, we may eventually collaborate on writing 'our' story together, but that would have to be a joint decision by everyone involved. i've gotten myself into enough trouble in the past by speaking for 'us' when others did not agree with what i was saying, so i've since started consciously trying to avoid that. Also, i've found it somewhat therapeutic to express myself as an individual, after so many years of denying my own identity, trying to just be part of a whole group without really defining who *i* am.
