I can't believe I found this. Anyway, myself and several other writers went through this process a few months ago, and actually created a play, which was performed this past week in Kingston, Ontario as part of Queen's University and Critical Stage Company. Our website, which the original text can be found at, is: http://thetimeproject.blogspot.com/ I was just searching for similiar projects and found this one. The few differences for ours was that we brainstormed ideas in-person in three-hour weekly sessions, but did all our writing and most of our character development through writing online. We also would write for one character for a while, then be assigned another character. Our original mandate (part of a grant we had recieved) was to create a production with the themes of Education, Social Progress and Time. The blogging process created a whole deal of text, which we workshopped down to a 75-minutes play with seven actors. I highly encourage you to read Michel Foucalt's essay: "Of Other Spaces: Heterotopias" which we took our title from, as it inspired us quite alot as we discovered it was what we had created. Awesome!

None of the characters are actually fictional. My theory is that it’s a hoax. None of the characters are actually fictional.

I don't know if theirs was unique, or if other LJers played around with cooperative fictions just for fun. (Although it was more of a group of fictional characters in a common setting, with no real central narrative event to base things on.)

Tim Wright and I banged around a similar idea about a group of blogs clustering around a central narrative event, such as a bank heist, though we never got past the ruminations over pints stage. I've seen a few fiction blogs and persona blogs, but this is the first collective narrative blogging project I've heard about. It'll be interesting to see what extent the narratives cluster and emerge around a novel-like center, if they do at all.
