This repo is meant for Collaborative Storytelling. Each directory is a "Story" (in quotes, since "Story" can mean many things).
It's kinda like that game where everyone sits in a circle, and someone starts the story with a sentence. Rotating around the circle, everyone takes a turn contributing a new piece to the story.
- Peruse current issues for story ideas
- Create a new directory, and name it the title of the story
- Create a new Markdown (
.md) file, and name it the title of the story
Have an idea for the beginning of a Story?
Have a prompt to use for starting a Story?
Add a ticket to suggest your idea!
- Fork the repo
- Make edits to a story's already-existing Markdown (
.md) file. Add to the story where the last contributor left off.
Here are some general guidelines that will help you build upon the amazing imagination of others and keep the stories going. Many of these guidelines are based off the rules of improv. Also see Tina Fey's basics of improv.
Agree with the content of the contributors before you. Acknowledge the world/details/relationships created by other collaborators.
Obviously in real life, you're not always going to agree with everything everyone says, but the rule of Agreement reminds you to respect what other collaborators have created, and at least start from an open minded place. Start with a yes and see where that takes you. -- Tina Fey, Bossypants
Agree with the content of contributors before you, and add onto it.
"Yes and..." means dont be afraid to contribute. It's your respnsibility to contribute. Always make sure you're adding something to the discussion. Your initiations are worth while. -- Tiny Fey, Bossypants
Details are more interesting, they also give future contributors great content to work with and carry forward.
Feel free to get creative 🎉
