Interactive Collaborative Fiction -- Become a Story Pilot

Do you love Interactive Collaborative Fiction?Interactive Collaborative Fiction is the art of jointly shaping a narrative through collective storytelling.Appaloosa Radio Online, in collaboration with the Sacramento Suburban Writers, is launching an exciting new forum for Interactive Collaborative Fiction (ICF) and is seeking “Story Pilots” to guide the journey. ICF is a process where narratives are shaped collectively, not by a single writer, but by a community that evolves the story over time. Think of it as modern-day campfire storytelling, now facilitated through platforms like Instagram.We kick off our ICF forum in February 2025 with three captivating story starters:Code: Turquoise: A political thriller set in contemporary times, revolving around the assassination of a newly elected U.S. President just ten days into office by a foreign power that had previously supported him.Chambray: A fantasy romance where Princess Lis is kidnapped by a brigantine she-wolf pack and taken to Quericus, where she is forced to join the harem of Subus.Splotches: A science fiction tale exploring civilizations' relentless pursuit of speed, only to discover that greater velocity brings splotches—twisting the very fabric of space-time and creating billions of unrepairable holes.As a “Story Pilot,” your role will be to facilitate collaboration, allowing multiple contributors to develop the plot, generate dialogue, and enhance character development. You will also manage the Instagram platform for the story.Join us in creating stories that are fun, engaging, and connect people. Volunteer to be a “Story Pilot” on this new adventure.For more information, contact us at: [email protected]
