Holla!

What is Build-a-Novel?

Build-a-novel is a game which allows you to create a story by adding onto others comments. It can be as quirky as you want, but prefferably stick to the subject. You can end up with a really corrupted mess, or a really creative story! Every once in a while, I will end the story and start another one. You will now when a subject has changed, as my comments are in a green box.

What are the guidlines?

  1. Keep to the subject. Continue the story, and stick with the character used in the above comment.
  2. Do not use any racial/offensive or rude words/lines or phrases in your add-on.
  3. Be creative. Don’t just apply descriptions onto the others comment.
  4. End and start with - … – to show the story has been, or should keep being continued.

How do we start?

Simply write a few sentances, or lines which do not end. This means write something like:

‘… and Johnny ran and ran towards the train, when he remembered what he had left behind. He ran back to collect his …’

not

‘… and Johnny ran and ran towards the train, when he remembered what he had left behind. He ran back to collect his pet dog, and they lived happily ever after.’

Enjoy!
