I can see what Verad is saying but I have to say I don't quite agree that you can apply the same things. Not all of us roleplay with a GM or an editor. But comics writers, they do.
While they have large control of the character(s) they get to play with at that moment in time, they still have control of more than just one.
In roleplay, we only have "one". We only have our own characters. I find it a very large exercise to have several people collaborate and work in harmony on a narrative. Being the writer and having an editor allows them to take freer control of more characters' stories and allows them to make the most with minimal need of collaborating with someone else "is it ok if I do this with this character?"
