Just because it's cool (and gets one thinking about crowdsourcing creativity in general):
----------------------------- [Insert your disclaimer here] ----------------------------- -----Original Message----- >From CNET: "Six months after we asked readers to help us write a science fiction novel, we present "Crowd Control," CNET's first work of crowdsourced fiction. Hundreds of contributors -- more than 120 whose names we know and many more anonymous -- collaborated via a single Google Doc, working under a Creative Commons license to shape a rough draft of a story. That draft is still online for anyone to take from or build upon, and CNET edited and expanded it to create our own version of the story, which comes in at almost 50,000 words. We will publish that story on CNET daily on weekdays over the next four to five weeks, along with more inside details on how it came to be.
