Collaborative Writing

So I've been thinking that I could probably do more with a partner, since other people have different skills/perspectives to bring to the table. The main problem I see is the potential for creative differences, because two given people don't necessarily have the same artistic "vision." In my experience, it usually ends up primarily being one person's thing, with the other pitching in every so often, which isn't necessarily bad, it's just not quite working together.

Has anyone hit upon a good formula for shared projects? I've had a couple of good experiences, but they weren't really planned out--the projects just kind of came together, but I'm pretty sure that's rare.
