I once came across a website for General Hospital (a soap opera I never really liked, for the record) which gave visitors the chance to write fan fiction. Part of the idea was that one person could write an installment and then someone else could write a follow-up story. It's not a bad idea (and it's actually reminiscent of telling stories around a campfire), but it could get into strange territory. One installment had a character find out that his former "girlfriend" was really a man, causing another character to plot to steal all the Viagra in the world so he could sleep with President Clinton. ~shrugs in confusion while the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme plays in the background~
