[The Expanse] Looking for a Co-GM

Oye, so I am starting a _very_ ambitious campaign for the Expanse.  I have sunk around 100 hours of preparation into this already and my CoGM had to cancel her involvement for personal reasons. I am still very excited about the project and have finally found the courage to GM for something as ambitiously huge as the Expanse universe.  I have had very good experiences CO-GMing - starting with bouncing ideas off one another while plotting, sharing the burden of playing NPCs and switching situationally from main storyteller to supporter to profit from each others strengths. I would like to continue this in the Expanse campaign. I would like to team up with someone who is a seasoned storyteller and has a passion for the Expanse. You do not need to have my insane focus on it - you are allowed to be perfectly sane :D - but of course it helps if you aren't.  I'll share what work I've done so far - mostly worldbuilding for a pre-books/pre-series campaign with a long, slow buildup to allow the group to become their own center of the solar system until shit hits the fan maybe in campaign 2 or 3. I've also built a custom website that will essentially be their ship AI, including course plotting throughout the solar system and a ship status page that the GM can smash alarm klaxons on and a database server with lots of stuff from my last re-read of the books.  It's pretty much a must that we need to click and work well together, so my offer is, if this mildly interests you: let's meet on voice and talk about it. Drop a text here, or DM me if the Expanse is your next biggest itch that needs scratching.
I've both Co GMed and GMed with CoGMs. My favorite path for addressing a CoGM need is troupe style. It can really help, especially when you let the players monitor and direct the arcs for the other players, freeing your focus on the arc of the setting. I'm likely hanging up my dice bag soon, and this is not a setting I am overly drawn to, but I do hope you can find the addition you are looking for, and if a troupe style process is what you need, I hope that recommendation helps.
Hey Wombat, thanks for the recommendation! :)
