A friend of mine recently set up a really cool crowd-sourced serialized novel called “Fission Chips” (Ha! Get it?) on his website, www.1889.ca. Here’s how it works, in the author’s own words:

Fission Chips is a serialized detective mystery with a twist. Every week, you, the readers, get to vote on what Gare should do next. There’s a complex storyline just below the surface that is working on auto-pilot, waiting for you to interfere. And to further complicate things, FiftyWordStories.com’s Tim Sevenhuysen is The Antagonizer, in charge of complicating events every time you get close to solving one of the threads.

Help Gare survive his hellish first day of being a PI!

Read the chapters and vote every week at http://books.1889.ca/fission/.
