All Authors, Assemble! (Because I said so... pwease.)

Let’s write a story together!
Here’s the idea: I’ll write the first chapter, then another author continues the story in their own way, then another, and so on. Let’s see how far we can take this creative chain.

The Master Plan:​


  • We’ll elect one author who’s up for writing the next chapter.
  • That author gets one week to write, and can consult the rest of us for ideas, advice, memes, whatever.
  • Each chapter will be as long as the author wants, but don't make it ridiculously long please.
  • We’ll aim for a 10-chapter story. (Ten Authors)

Credit Where It's Due:​


Each author deserves recognition for their work. Here’s how we’ll handle it:
  • When someone posts the first chapter on his account, he'll include a link at the end directing readers to the next author’s chapter on their page.
  • When the next chapter goes up, that author will do the same—linking to the next chapter in the chain.
  • That way, everyone keeps the traffic and credit for their own work. Win-win!

The Premise:​


Our protagonist wakes up in a different world every day.
We’ll follow their journey across 10 different worlds in 10 days, with the final chapter bringing them back to their original world on day 11.
That’s it! Simple, flexible, and packed with potential for wild creativity.
Every author can design their own world, characters, and scenario.
Whether it’s waking up in a palace, on a riverboat, in the middle of a war, or even during a cooking contest on an alien spaceship. Go nuts.




So… shall we do this?
Please? I’m begging you. This sounds super cool and I think we could make something awesome together.

EDIT: One more rule! You must start with him waking up and end with him closing his eyes or sleeping. This will help in keeping the flow.

EDIT: The first Author is the first one showing willingness to do this in this thread. I will write the final chapter, because I want to.

EDIT: THE BOOK DETAILS ARE HERE. I AM PROVIDING YOU WITH LITERALLY EVERYTHING HERE, JUST USE THEM!

Title: The Waking Drift

Book Cover: https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/4jdcvrnb6l4.png

Synopsis:
Every morning, Aiden Rourke opens his eyes in a different world.
(Simple and sweet, cuz we don't know where this story is headed)

Genre: Fantasy (+ add whatever genre you write in just avoid stuff like romance because other authors wouldn't want to continue such stuff)
Tags: Depends on what you write in your chapter.


EDIT: I just removed the weekly part, We will select the first ten authors now. I will select the first ten guys from this thread and announce them on a follow up thread.

isn't it just 10 short stories forcefully glued together? I mean, if it's a different world per chapter

Well yeah, but it's a fun thing to do for the community to come together, and if it works we can expand the chapter count to more.
Also, QT novels have been written before, if you do it properly, it's gonna be good.

Edit: It won't be forcefully glued together if you put sufficient work into it. You just gotta do it right.

Nice! So it's possible. The difference here is each author get's to keep the views for his chapter Ig?
I Repeat, just is case anyone wasn't paying attention.

We are collaborating on writing a QT novel? How nostalgic.
Has this happened before, you're referring to the scribble hub high school? Or the nostalgia is from reading Chinese QT novels? For me it's the latter, yuri in particular.

In 2021, I read almost exclusively Yuri QT, it was more addictive than cocaine(which I obviously haven't tried btw)to the extent that I started in NU, then moved to machine translated stuff in mtlnovel and Wattpad, then Google translated them on sto.cx and jjwxc. Good days.

This can be amazing - or a total mess. My favorite book like this was "The Red Tape War"; by Jack Chalker, Mike Resnick and George Alec Effinger - they did the chapters semi-randomly (the rules were the author who started the book could not write the final chapter, nobody could write two consecutive chapters, and each author had to put out a chapter before anyone could go again, but then the order was randomized; I think it even had a contest in the first printing where the first person to tell them which authors wrote which chapter correctly got a free signed copy; I had a second printing that listed the winner and the chapter authors as an afterward). One chapter began with "Oh great, you let Chalker do his stupid body swap thing again." - except it turned out, IIRC, Chalker had not written the chapter where it happened!

Hello! Sure! Thanks for tagging! I don't care about views or whatever, it just sounds funnnnnn! :blob_cookie:

@StoneInky If you want to do the first chapter, please mention when you will publish the first chapter. Accordingly I will start the process of picking the second author.

His name is Aiden Rourke? Do we have already chosen settings for him, or do we continue off from the previous person? And his name sounds American. Is he American? Personality? Looks?

I hate inconsistency. I think we should add another setting. Either we all try to unify his tone, or his tone and personality is influenced by the body he is possessing. But maybe... this will make it feel more like several stories than one? Hm... I dunno. Your thoughts on this?

I'm in :blob_popcorn: now that the first chapter is not my responsibility
Wait, whattya mean by not your responsibility? :sweat_smile:

Just a random name I selected, nothing too deep about it. Just write a fun story by using this protagonist to portray your imagination. Your side characters are more important that your MC in this work because they are more unique to the Author. The MC just exists as a tool to display your world and story here, so don't bother too much about his personality.
Come up with a fun idea and story.
