Unlimited authors, 500 words each, 1 story.

"Fabulate" is a project designed to combine the skills and ideas of authors and writers from around the world, to produce a collaborative story every participant can jointly claim credit for.

How many people have ideas that never get developed? How many people start writing books but fail to finish? In the current text messaging/tweeting/web 2.0 world, we are sharing every part of our life; inviting others to join us, comment on, and share our thoughts, yet all within the restrictions of 160 or 140 characters. "Fabulate" was conceived with this information in mind.

The idea is simple, participating is just as easy and succesful particpants may be rewarded for their contributions.

The fabula is not produced once the text has been definitely read: the fabula is the result of a continuous series of abductions made during the course of the reading. [...] the reader collaborates in the course of the fabula, making forecasts about the forthcoming state of affairs.

- Umberto Eco
