What is a Frankenstory?
Frankenstory is the fabulously freaky writing game where stories are composed with a comrade.
Two players take it in turn to upload mini morsels of a story to the Frankenstory website. After each writer adds their part it is the other player’s turn to carry on the tale – but there’s a catch! They can only see the last few words their friend has written so nobody knows how the story will end until the final component is completed.
When each player has added two parts to the tale we feed the fragments to our bionic story monster who regurgitates them as stitched-together stories. Here all four pieces are finally revealed to the players – but have they created a marvel or a mutant?
If you’re looking for inspiration for your tales, you’ll always be able to find examples of some of the most interesting stories right here in my secret ‘Frankenlab’ (cunningly hidden beneath an abandoned Cuckoo-clock factory in down town Geneva). Here, ably assisted by my manservant Igor and my Rottweiler Elsie, I’ll be dissecting some of my favourite Frankenstories for your viewing pleasure, whether they’re freaky or funny, sublime or ridiculous, profound, putrid or downright puerile .
You can follow my adventures right here in my blog and also through Twitter where I’ll be sharing all the new developments from the Frankenlab and highlighting other great writing resources from around the web to help you find inspiration.
So why not have a go yourself? Just log on to Frankenstory.com and get creative!
Monstrously yours,
