Chain writing

[Roxbrough]

Has anyone on here, ever taken part in chain writing?

 

[Meadow337]

Nope. Not unless you count a chain writing thing on a forum.

Chain writing in that I go through many writing phases where I can't stop for days. I'd have to say yeah.

I understood it to be that I write chapter one, you chapter two, I then write chapter three and so on. The chain can have extra links too. I have done it once with interesting results, with a young woman colleague from work. I have never done it with more than one other person though, which I guess would make it more difficult/interesting?
I ask the question as I am interested it trying it on here.

 

[Meadow337]

Well instead of posing the question the way you have, why don't you try asking for volunteers to write with you????

 

[Răspunsul]

I'll have a go.

 

[Roxbrough]

I'll get started then.

 

[Răspunsul]

Just the two of us?
Are we allowed, I'm very new?

 

[SuperReaderGirl]

Sounds like a fun idea! I'm excited to read what you write. Will you be posting the chapters publicly?

 

[Roxbrough]

Message to everyone who has yet to reply;
I am starting Chapter One this morning, if no one else comes forward the two of us will proceed with the project.
Come on, what have you got to lose?

My writing is awful and I tend to kill off characters at random when I get bored with a storyline.

Ha hahaha.
This morning I managed two Chapter One's.
I am going to stop the chain at four pages rather than a full chapter, as that would take too long.
Up to press, we are a trio, one of whom is just going to read and be a constructive critic.
If anyone else wants in, they must speak up before midnight GMT.

 

[Roxbrough]

First four pages of each now sent.

How does one become a part of this effort? Do we just post our contributions on this thread?

 

[Răspunsul]

Dato, you could start another chain?

 

[Roxbrough]

We have a triumvirate Dato, a competitor would make things lively?

I reakon we can, would you be willing to team up with me?
It would be cool to have rival chains!

@ Răspunsul & member - I am not totally sure what we are doing. Is this like a chain story where we take turns adding to the story? And can the THREE of us team up?
