It's always been an interesting idea in my mind. What if you took a handful of Authors (three to five) with a plot and theme that was generally agreed upon and set them free?
"Set them Free" being, they create one story. Together.
How, you might ask? That's a great question. More importantly, why would you even want this? It's come to my mind in writing, that the reason I have trouble expanding on my own topics is because I need something to work off of. Most of my stories are allegory or based off past experiences. If I try to create something completely new myself, I'll find that I get lost in my own imagination and I'll always be constantly changing ideas until eventually, it becomes unprofitable with all the changes.
But what if a group of authors took a story from chapter to chapter, taking turns. Possibly like a compilation of journal entries or even a, altering 1st Person story telling element.
I for one would love to write a novel with a group. It adds a support network and allows for great brainstorming and originality. Especially if everyone is interested in the theme/plot.
But what do you think on the subject? Would you enjoying reading a novel written by multiple Authors? Would you enjoy writing a novel with multiple authors as well?
