The collaborative challenge

Foreword

So basically, I came up with this little creative way for my friend and I to try to rack our minds to become a little more open to ideas and not focus so much on how something is written.

Long have she and I usually given up on stories because we refused to write something because we were too hung up one trying to word it so damn perfectly that it never got written in the first place.

 

This is my little challenge (for the lack of a better term).

It involves the amazing power of real-time editing within googledocs in which she and I first decide a random situation for our basis, usually just a sentence in which we can formulate a very simple oneshot out of. Then, filling in the characters, we start out with no outline, no plot, only the basis in which we decided to use.

As for the chapter, it's the first meeting of two rather weird people who become friends later on.

And with that, we decide who starts the story, and we trade off, whether it's mid-sentence or mid -idea, every certain alotted interval. For the first chapter, it was every 10 minutes (roughly). Thus, we had to kind of rush and rack our minds for ideas on what to write next, or else the story would suffer with nothing having been written. The intervals are up to you, however long you want them to be.

This is slightly different from RP-ing because of the fact that you control everything when it's your turn to write, so essentially, you can completely change the story around because what you write may not be what the other author had in mind, but that's what makes it interesting.

 

As a result, this story will be a compilation of unrelated oneshots that my friend and I have both written using this rather unconventional and slightly crappy idea to cure our writer's block depression.

Because of the rushed nature (we only switched off 8 times for the first oneshot, so it was started and finished in just a little over an hour), these stories are completely raw. Expect more simplistic and more rushed character development and interaction, and a lot more grammatical errors than usual.

But perhaps someone of you may find this interesting.
