Free Fiction – Web Novel (Wovel) : Exit Vector
A free bit of fiction in the form of the slightly dodgily named ‘wovel’ or web novel. 
Anyway it’s a nice idea, throwing up a short installment of fiction and then asking for the readers to vote on the direction before the next installment is published.
I’ve no idea what the story is about but Underland Press say they are into the macabre and darker side of fantasy so I may give it a try if the big pile of books I’ve just received isn’t too distracting.
Every week, the author posts an installment. Installment length hits the sweet-spot of online reading—long enough to get interested, short enough to read in the cubicle at work. At the end of every installment, the author writes in a plot branch point. Does the heroine kill her lover? Will the zombies catch the soldier? Is the box empty, or is it filled with bees?
THE READERS DECIDE.
On Monday, the post goes up. Voting is open through Thursday. The author writes Thursday and Friday. The editors edit Friday and Saturday. The post goes back up on Monday. Part literature, part exquisite corpse. The pace of print journalism, the imagination of fiction, the spark of reader participation.
