Taken blatently from dictionary.com:
col·lec·tive adj.
1. Assembled or accumulated into a whole.
2. Of, relating to, characteristic of, or made by a number of people acting as a group: a collective decision.
I will grant that definition 1 meets your definition.
However, I was thinking of definition 2. My distaste is not directed at *both* the administraction and MS. I am therefore outside of the authors collective since I don't share the "two targets" for my distaste.
Definition: collective

Semantics. What fun.
