If you are writing a story is it acceptable to use a plot or experience a tv show or book character had if you change the idea slightly or change the outcome of the event?

I have been part of many online forum (role playing) games and it’s definitely a great way to improve your writing skills and have fun at the same time. I think it’s very useful to teenagers and adults alike. I’m personally still addicted to them.

We’ve just launched a new site for collaborative fiction that leans more towards the role-playing style of writing. I love both Storymash and Protagonize, but they didn’t really fit for this kind of writing.

Would love feedback if you have a chance! (http://www.writropolis.com)

Thanks for posting this article!

This is the first post on the internet that I have read about group writing on the net. Will follow the RSS on this site . Most def. I run a group writing literature blog called Worlds Longest Blog Post
worldslongestblogpost.com is a never ending story that is written one sentence at a time by many different authors. If your sentence is approved, it will be published in the story as a back link to your website or e-mail address.

Another site in this vein to check out online (with a more writing-oriented, social network slant) would be Protagonize.com.

Protagonize is a creative writing community dedicated to writing various forms of collaborative, interactive fiction. One author writes a story, and others post branches or chapters to it in different directions. The result is an organic, evolving story where everyone can participate.

It’s a lot of fun and we’ve got almost 10,000 authors participating — check it out if you’re interested in this type of collaborative writing environment.
