Platforms  Blogosphere and character “ As one day’s posts build on points raised or refuted in a previous day’s, readers must actively engage the process of “discovering” the author, and of parsing from fragment after fragment who is speaking to them, and why, and from where whether geographically, mentally, politically, or otherwise.” -Steve Himmer, “The Labyrinth Unbound” (2003)
Platforms  Blogosphere and time “ You know what's funny? I bet if I posted this email message on my blog, as a story, I'd get two dozen emails from readers — the ones who know how  clueless  I can be — telling me to get a clue, that you're obviously taking someone else.

Wikistorytelling The Penguin novel ( http://www.amillionpenguins.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page )
Wikistorytelling Can a collective create a believable fictional voice? How does a plot find any sort of coherent trajectory when different people have a different idea about how a story should end – or even begin? And, perhaps most importantly, can writers really leave their egos at the door? “ About”, http://www.amillionpenguins.com/wiki/index.php/About
