I had been thinking about collaborative stories and storybooks and I came up with an idea. It is kind of like a more serious storybook combined with a contest.
What I'm think is would it be fun to have a novel where any writer can compete with other writers to write the next chapter?
The way it would work is there would be a story outline available for anyone to see. There would also be a page of character descriptions, and a map of any locations that might be important. The first chapter would already be provided at the beginning.
Then we would host a contest for the second chapter. There would be some guidelines and requirements for what happens in the chapter (all very simple stuff). The only requirement for the writer is that they've read the first chapter. They would have four weeks to submit their second chapter. After that deadline there would be a poll (who each chapter was written by would be a secret so it wouldn't be a popularity contest) to determine which chapter became the "official" second chapter.
Then the second chapter would join the first and we'd repeat the process for chapter three.
Do you guys think that would be fun? It would be a writing contest but also a collaborative story! If I get a good reaction to this idea then I will go ahead and make one.
