I saw your idea on a sci fi writer's forum and thought it was interesting. I did notice that others were not so nice in their assessment of your idea. I'm hoping that did not put you off the idea. It is a creative idea that is used by some very popular authors. They get two or three writers to author one book and sell it on the basis of the most popular author's reputation. I don't see why this couldn't be done by amateurs, it may lead to something big. And even if it is a complete bust, it would be a great exercise.

This isn't part of the story, but it is a very useful suggestion I feel--


&amp;#160;


You need a plan of action. A plot. A genre. A set of characters. Before we even begin to plan to start writing we need something to write about. Guidelines decided by the masses (or the few, I have no idea how many this site has attracted yet) and then to have the general out line decided and then each member to be sent off to write their own version and then one, maybe two to moderate it all into one. Trust me I'm into this whole co-op writing thing, it are pretty awesome sauce &lt;img src='images/smiley/msn/shades_smile.gif' alt='' 


Sooo .... any suggestions yet? I write dark/modern fantasy best and I have a very cocky writing style, so my suggestion would of course to be to write something of an unnatural nature :p

Should we just have small chapters and have users submit a whole chapter like 4 or 5 pages? or should we cut chapters into parts say like 4 parts to a chapter so users do not have submit as big of a part maybe only&amp;#160;a page or 2?
