check out the continuation I just wrote per request (begged for actually) by @buckaroobaby. It's mostly a wrapped up story at this point. You've rejoined us at an especially good time, freewritehouse is hopping! Perhaps @deirdyweirdy, @trucklife-family, @riverflows, @felt.buzz, @carolkean, @itsostylish, @deeanndmathews would be interested. How does it work? Does the first author tag someone to finish it, or do we just see who responds? Do the subsequent stories have to be freewrites?
Oh I L.O.V.E that idea! Finishing other stories could be entertaining ..... or embarressing. I guess it depends which side of the story you're holding the pen
I dunno. I guess we get to make up the rules! I propose we keep it in freewrite for this first try. I think we need a hashtag for it (#chainfiction? #exquisitecorpse?), and somebody should do a post that lists the episodes in order as they come out. I'm not sure how to choose the order of who goes when, tho. This can get very confusing if not handled properly. Any suggestions? When we're ready, I'd be happy to do a post inviting and tagging participants, unless someone else wants to do it.
The old tag was #we-write ... someone starts it, authors have a week to finish it ... BUT then, there is a possibility of #chainfiction ... but the challenge then becomes that we end up writing a big "Choose Your Own Adventure" story ... two different episodes X lead to people writing different follow-ups, and suddenly, you have two alternative universes... or more ... BUT, hey, #tree-write is possible too ... just accept the tree format, and ask people to mark whose previous entry they are responding to!

I like that idea. It could blossum nicely.
Like cherry blossoms and magnolias in the coming spring ... yes...
I would be up for this too, if it happens please tag me as I might miss it otherwise. Thanks for thinking of me @owasco xxxxxx
OK I will try to remember to tag folks, if they don't mind!
