  • Echo for Storywriting, Play by Post

    Hello!

    I'm wondering if there is a Fidonet Echo where people can write stories on whatever they desire and where others can (optionally) contribute if they wish, sort of collaborative story telling / world building. I sometimes like to write and would like to get better at it, and figure this could be a good medium.

    I read that it is possible to start a new Echo but figured I'd check before if something similar already existed.

    I have not heard of such an echo. But maybe the ANYTHING_GOES echo could be a good fit.

    Let's try ANYTHING_GOES.

    It's available from the TheRustyMailbox BBS.

    Hello!


    Good day! :)

    I'm wondering if there is a Fidonet Echo where people can write stori on whatever they desire and where others can (optionally) contribute

    I have not heard of such an echo. But maybe the ANYTHING_GOES echo
    could be a good fit.

    The word I forgot to use when I was describing it was "Creative Writing". A mix between creative writing and world building. But certainly seems like ANYTHING_GOES could fit the bill.

    It's available from the TheRustyMailbox BBS.

    All right, I'll drop by for a visit. :)

    Thanks for your message.

    I think maybe there used to be a "writing" echo but, if so, it is no more. August's suggestion is a good one.
