Hello dear friends, welcome to the Frankenlab, the place where I’ll be preserving some of your most interesting submissions for posterity in a glorious ‘Frankenstory Hall of Fame’. Think of it as a kind of taxidermy display for your stories where I lovingly stuff and mount some of your freakiest creations (before gluing googly eyes to them and using them to scare small children).
This isn’t a competition to determine which of your submissions are the best and there will be many excellent tales that never grace the pickling jars of the Frankenlab. However each story I pick will have done something really interesting which will hopefully go on to inspire other players.
It could be a brilliantly written story, something side-splittingly funny, something really dark and mysterious or something experimental that makes us sit up and take notice. Then again it could just as easily be two halves of a tale that come together to create something downright weird or a story with a deliciously topical twist.
So why not get writing and who knows, maybe you’ll spawn something freaky enough to grab my attention?
Monster hugs,
Dr. Victor E. Frankenstory.

Willkommen my esteemed story scientists!
I am Dr. Victor Emelius Frankenstory, eminent physicist, prolific wordsmith and three-time North Tyrolean table tennis champion (1957-1959). I am also the creator of www.frankenstory.com, the world’s greatest literary experiment.
Based in my secret Frankenlab (hidden somewhere beneath an abandoned Cuckoo-clock factory in downtown Geneva) my incredible monstrous machine works day and night to weave fabulously freaky narratives from stories submitted by writers just like you. In fact, I suspect the only reason I have not yet won the Nobel Prize is due to the fact that they cannot decide whether to give it to me for science or literature!
Ably assisted by my manservant Igor and my Rottweiler, Elsie, I take stories submitted to the Frankenstory website from pairs of writers all around the world and splice them together to create magnificently mutated hybrid tales.
You’ll soon be able to find examples of some of the most interesting stories right here in my ‘Frankenlab’ blog where I’ll be dissecting some of the more unusual specimens for your inspirational pleasure (before stuffing them full of sawdust, sewing them back up and mounting them on polished mahogony stands to show off to my dinnerparty guests).
You can follow my adventures right here in my blog and also through Twitter where I’ll 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 www.frankenstory.com and start writing a story with the friend of your choice.
(Just try not to disturb Igor, he gets distinctly tetchy if anything distracts him from the latest episode of Desperate Housewives).
