So it appears I have joined this expanding world of words, chat and jibber jabber. Hello! My name is Joe and I welcome you to my blog.

 I am undoubtedly going to cover a wide range of topics and produce alot of very varied material in fiction and poetry over the next year, and perhaps more, but to keep a sense of consistency over the weeks I have decided to create an interactive story (I keep wanting to use exclamation marks due to my excitement, but I know I must restrain myself!).

To elaborate, over the next couple of blog entries, which should be over the next few days, I will outline the basis of a story that I have been wanting to write for quite a while. However, it will be serial, going back to the days of Charles Dickens, although not as good (probably, but who knows?), and I do not know where it will go at the moment. This is where all of you guys come in. Please at anytime write your own story based on the characters within the story. In fact, it doesn’t have to be even the characters. You can either write what you think should happen next or a completely different story describing a different event that happened within this world. The sky is the limit, to use a very over used expression.

I assure you that this isn’t because I want to be lazy and let other people write my own story. The idea is to create a multiplicitous, organic story with infinite threads and diverging paths. I will also start introducing pictures and even flash animation and you can submit voice recordings as well so it is no longer merely a world of words. One of my main intentions for this experiment is to explore the boundaries of fiction now and the various ways that inspiration can work. In the end, rather than having a complete story, we should have a forever incomplete collection of stories all intertwined and going off in new directions.

 Anyway, I obviously have to give you a bit of a clue of how this story will go.

It is based around a character called Zach Turner, who is not a real person nor animal nor machine nor anything like that. He is a two dimensional character created by the hand of Gregory Goderick, the mediocre cartoonist. He is a comic book character and as such joins the place of all such characters, CB City.

 We join him as he is first created.
