It seems this will have to be conducted through the group discussion function, as it is not possible to have an open and continually editable page here. This at least will allow us to find what we have posted, but it will break up the continuity somewhat.

It seems as if the fiction/poetry/narrative/thought-ramble-spree would best be continuous at the front-end, and any comments, digressions, staggered off with the reply function. Some kind of multi-authored blog or wiki might be better but whathey.

Actually, come to think of it I suppose if everyone was an administrator, there would only need to be one blog that any could open, which could be archived for posterity every week or so, although that would require a degree of trust, hmmmn.

Thoughts?

Experimentality

is prone to disorient. Since there will probably be readers who wish only to observe, one-time writers, infrequent writers, frequent writers, and avid writers, all with different styles, narrative techniques, and philosophies, I think we have to be careful with the form. When we disorient a reader, unless they're in a postmodern lit class, they will probably move along to some other Internet node. I don't think we should over-specify the form, but some organizational rationale must complement hyper-spacial textual exploration (see: yin and yang).

I created a discussion about modelling the text after a tree, but I think we should try different things until we find something we like. First attempt would be just to begin, and go from there.

Directions

My dog knows the way, he'll show you.

Google Documents

Has anyone used google documents? Before evolver that is what i used for group projects since you can share docs through it. My idea was to add some type of code? I don't write anything down most of the time so i will have to wait for that wave to come back to me.
