Contest Idea: A collaboration story!

Hi there folkies. :>

I'm here to share an idea with you all, hoping to get some positive feedback, cause this idea kind of excites me, and I'd like to see it happen. So, here's the basic run down:

A collaboration story, which means one story being written by more than one person. However, I wanted to add a bit of a twist here. For example, say if me and another member signed up to do a collaboration story, we'd be given an opening post to work with, and we'd have to add to it, but we would have no idea what the other was posting until he/she/them posted it. This could either end horribly, beautifully, or wouldn't end at all.

I would ask another mod (or a willing member) to give us an opening post, and from what they chose to write, the participating members would then have to build on that, and no one in the party would know what the other was writing, and I think it'd be hella fun. =D

Of course, with this contest there'd be rules:
  • I. No less than four paragraphs (this may change depending on the general public's thoughts).
  • II. Proper grammar and structure is to be used, cause I'm positive no one likes reading through a story that is poorly written/structured.
  • III. It's not to be taken to the extreme. Meaning, keep it PG-13, and try not to make the storyline turn into something to horribly silly, or random. I'm hoping they have some kind of story to them.
  • IV. Of course the rules of ZU apply.

And I think that's basically all that I wanted to cover.

Feel free to give any suggestions that you'd like. :3

Re: Contest Idea: A collaboration story!

How long are you wanting to make this?

Because if you don't want to make it too long, we could have the posts handed in anonymously, then vote for the best addition to it

Of course, that's only if you wanted to make a relatively short story. If you wanted to make a long one (Or never-ending @_@) then we'd not be able to do that, but it'd still be fun. I might even participate, and I strongly dislike this section!

I'm game. Could be interesting, not to mention unpredictable.

However long the participates wanted to make it. Could be two simple posts, or a series of novels. Doesn't really matter. P:

Ooo, that's an interesting idea. So instead of the participates adding to the story, it's the whole community. Nice. :3
