Dear Forum

I am doing some market research and I would like some feedback for a new project that I am creating.

I have created website. Everyone and anyone can be an author in the longest novel ever written.

In addition it gives each writer a platform to be noticed as their page can contain links to their contact details.

The principle is very simple. Anyone, anywhere in the world with access to the internet can contribute a page or pages to this on-going story.

There are two world records up for grabs here.

1.       The longest story every written (number of words).

2.       The greatest number of authors contributing to a story.

These record attempts are registered with the Guinness Book of World Records (GWR) in London.

All anyone has to do is to log onto the website. http://www.thelongestnovel.com, read the summary of the story so far, read the last page, and submit a continuation of the story (1 page) themselves. If they are successful, it will be added to the story . . . and so on.

A contribution from each donation (min 1USD) will be made to a charity for visually handicapped children.

Would it be something that would interest you.

Thank you for your help.

I went to the web site and sll it really said was to check back.  There was no link to the story or the last page written.  I thought about contributing, but I can't get through.  Any suggenstions?

Dear ianst69

I've seen other folks try this and have even tried it my self with an open source fiction story. (See http://www.unpublishedguy.com/contest or http://www.unpublishedguy.com/…..fault.aspx).

My effort has not amounted to much. (Nothing actually.)

I'll be interested to see how your effort turns out. Of course, you will have to actually allow people to contribute for it to get very far.
