Our friends at AOL, riding the wave of Web 2.0 innovation, have come up with a very interesting idea called "ficlets". According to the site:
A ficlet is a short story that enables you to collaborate with the world.Once you’ve written and shared your ficlet, any other user can pick up the narrative thread by adding a prequel or sequel. In this manner, you may know where the story begins, but you’ll never guess where (or even if!) it ends.
I encourage everybody to check it out. This is brand new, cool, cutting edge. Ever wanted to be a writer and thought "it's just too much work"? Not any more! Give it a go!
