This has been cross posted at the OMB;) This is something of an experiment I have come up with to simulate how a story may change through time. Instead of having hundreds of years to change a story, I only have hundreds of days;) So, I have written a story and want people to change it.
Rules:
1) you MUST change something in the story. You can change one thing, you can change a lot. It doesn't matter how much you change as long as something is changed.
2) Once the changes have been made, the story must be mailed back to me. I will then pass the changed version down the line to the next person.
3) At no point will anyone see a previous version other than the one they receive to change. I don't want previous versions to influence their view on the story;)
4) You have one month to complete your changes. If you get it done before then, awesome! If not, then I will e-mail you and figure out the delay. If more time is needed, we'll work something out; otherwise, it'll skip you and go to the next person. Your version will be a 'dead end' branch of the tree, like how a culture may have a story and that story dies with them until it is dug up centuries later by Archaeologists.
At the end of the game, I will post every version on my website for all to read and enjoy.
So, if you wish to participate, you can post here or at the OMB, PM me, or E-mail me.
The following is a list of the order people will receive the story.
0) Azonthus (The source of the story)
1) Rosa (changes completed!)
2) Minstelae (changes completed!)
