John Scalzi (Ha! did you know about this post?) points to an interesting experiement, Ficlets. I've done this exercise before, someone writes a part, next person writes a part or a begining, iterate. It'll be interesting to see where this goes. I hope for John's sake (as he's a part of this) that it goes up. I'll probably use this to get juices flowing. I thought it might be good story bones, but the Creative Commons licensing bounces that idea. But it could be a lot of fun.

Yeah, with my ultra-cool fellow Broad Universe Member, JAY LAKE!

It does look like there's a lot of people there.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, my first glimpse of it was a Thog's Masterclass example, Dept. of Wandering Senses "Leaving my head on the pillow, I rolled my eyes around the room, relieved that I had at least not gone home with the handsome stranger."
I hope they cleaned those eyeballs off after rolling them around the room. And I hope they swept.
