Story Systems - Writers Invited

[Fred588]

I will use the term "story system" to refer to something within which multiple stories can be written. Just about every television series is potentially a story system, as is just about any series of movies based around a single character or setting. As a rule, a workable story system has, in addition to certain characters, some basic set of constraints that new stories (or episodes) must conform to in order to fit into the system and not fundamentally alter it. The original creator of the system owns, or should own, those constraints.

Quite a few years ago I created a story system called PsychicWorld JungleLand. I wrote better than fifty episodes myself and also invited others here (or I think it was at the old Deep Sinking forum) to write episodes. Several did so and there are now about 60 or so stories in the collection. For whomever might be interested I would like to issue that invitation again. There are not many constraints to the system but there are a few. I will be happy to shar those with prospective writers. To avoid creating spoilers, however, I think it would be best to do that by direct email rather than in an open forum. Just contact me.
