I am really excited for this project. I have so many (potentially awesome) ideas that I hope to play around with. Count me in!

Snippet from the novel: Maybe I can improvise some kind of flatulence-based propulsion mechanism, he pondered in desperation before realising he didn't have a clue how he was going to get out of this. There was nothing else for it but to start drinking. And that meant trouble. Trouble was the name of her dog, see? So called because he had a knack for getting into things, mainly trouble. And that was all he thought about as the ship slipped away. Jebediah began contemplating some important questions about life. Truly troubling.

Unfortunately, this needs critical mass to really take off - so unless I got a lot of people contributing, I think this project will not make the deadline. I'll keep it up, for sure, but I am working on a new idea now. More details to come!

Maybe sharing it with some online writing communities such as protagonize or ficly would help rally some contributors (they have twitter accounts of the same name if you want to contact them over twitter).

Thank you for the suggestion, darkliquid! That's a great idea.
