However new web 2.0 technologies are giving writers new tools to help expand their creativity and improve their craft, through interactive writing projects. The idea of multi author stories is not a new one. Aside from authors collaborating on books, the idea of interactive stories has been around for a long time. Originally they were stories written in tandem, with first one person adding a paragraph, then another expanding with a second paragraph, and so on. These were sometimes open to communities, but the more open they were, the more prone they were to spam and poor writing. Eventually most of these limited active threads to a few members, or a moderated community. New technologies however are allowing writers to expand these ideas exponentially. With places like twitter, facebook, rolepages, and others, you can now take on character roles and write stories across a variety of media, including several written forms of communication. This can involve forums, chat rooms, profiles, walls, and bulletins, as well as videos, podcasts and pictures. The general term for this sort of writing is role-play; a word which derives to some extent from the old dungeons and dragons board games that were popular in the eighties. However rather than a self indulgent chance to act out fantasy stories with your friends, this new style of roleplay is actually a form of fiction, which allows writers to finally break out of their own heads, and collaborate with others in a meaningful, and multi dimensional manner. This can lead to vast improvements in a person's writing skills. When interacting with others, you can get feedback, as well as fresh ideas, from a whole community of like minded fellow writers. It is even an opportunity to bounce ideas off of one another in a safe place. As technology increases, and people's ability to use it increases, we will see more and more leaps forward in the way people communicate. This may lead to an improvement in the general writing population, or it may give rise to an entirely new form of fiction altogether. Its hard to say what the future holds.
This article was written by Jim Slate. http://www.RolePages.com is an interactive in character social network designed to allow authors to interact with one another to tell stories across a wide variety of media. In this way writing is able to break out of its isolating role, and become a community generated experience, which can enhance both the author participating, and the work that they will produce.
