The Wovel

I staff member sent me the link to this article from NPR:

It's an interesting concept--a novel that is posted online a chapter at a time. Readers vote for changes in the plot line and then the author writes the next chapter using this input. It's sort of like adult "choose your own adventure" books! The author is using Dickens' serial type writing as a guide. I might need to look for one of these and try it out!
