I was trawling around on the “Geeky Fun” section of the MakeUseOf website the other day and found a list of “7 Collaborative Storytelling Websites to Weave Your Own Digital Stories” that I just have to share with you. Collaborative writing is a modern, online prose version of group poetry, renga, and an updated version of the "exquisite corpse" method of group writing.
Whether you are an experienced writer, just getting started, or simply like to read cool stuff that you’ve never seen in print before, these sites are for you:
1. Folding Story—“writing game where each writer is constrained to write one line of a story (120 wrods or less) and pass it on…in just three minutes”
2. Ficly—“micro-fiction in a collaborative way”
3. Fabulate—“collaborative book project” with submissions maximum 500 words and each entry must pick up where the last left off and continue to build a cohesive end product
4. WikiStory—collaborative storytelling in all genres; check out the “three-word story” challenge
5. One Million Monkeys Typing—“each story has three possible paths” to which you may add your own snippet
6. StoryMash—“might appeal to amateur writers who want some of the spoils of their writing…site shares half of the advertizing revenue stories get with their writers;” chapter-length submissions and peer-review
7. Novlet—multiple languages; each story “is divided into passages” that you may continue or branch off in a new direction
