... building a collaborative story one sentence/post at a time? If not, anyone interested?

I chuckle....one nearly began, didn't it?

That's what started me thinking about it.

someone will nibble, I am sure.

If not, it's no biggie.

I was just thinking of a kind of free-for-all one sentence per author per day (max) thing. No obligations/pressures -- just maintain the chosen tone (hot, wacky, teasing, whatever).

Kinda curious where it would go.

I have neglected a collaborative story, which is totally engaging to me. I hope to rest a bit and continue that one, as it is dear to me.

I've heard your co-writer is a patient woman.

This is sorta like that, and went in some really, really strange directions....

STOP!.....Carry on...

Yes, there are several different ones hidden back in the land of dead threads. Each with a different premise.

there was one that required three words and only three words in each post.

There was one that was "add a full sentence" and several that limited contributions to a paragraph.

Another one would probbly draw some interest for a while until it got really off kilter and couldn't be salvaged.

The biggest problem is simultaneous posting -- two (or more) people taking the story in different directions at the same time.

Yeah, that would be a bitch.

Oh well ...

That's the whole fun of this isn't it?

People can choose which direction they take?

Of course -- but one direction at a time.

If two simultaneous (or thereabouts) posts are made that take the story in wildly different directions, whatcha gonna do? I suppose you could require an edit of the latter post.
