Recently I've been writing with a friend over Instant Messenger. I was thinking, what if we did that here. Exclude the Instant Messenger and just make a thread to do it in.
How it works.
In the AIM version of this idea, I would write about 2 paragraphs then send it.
My friend would continue the story however she saw fit. And I would continue where she left off at the end. The key is to leave each post open ended so the next person can pick up. Basically we're creating characters, but when it's not our turn, someone else has full control. It could be a new way we do saga. But I suggest we devise a control device so no drastic things happen. But it is extremely different from what we're used to. It may spice up roleplaying. It did for me, that's why I'm back.
Let me know if you want details. And please, anyone, post questions, I'll be happy to answer. And I can post some examples.

Fighting to the bitter end is an advantage when your opponent does not wish to perish.
