An Orkut Novel In The Making?

(Hat Tip: Gautam Ghosh)

Abhijit, author of the book Mediocre But Arrogant, is asking users for help writing his next novel based on his previous book.

(Mediocre But Arrogant forum) I want to build the sequel to "Mediocre But Arrogant" with this community. So if you have friends who want to participate in this live experiment, feel free to invite them to the community. If the idea fits in to the story in part or fully you will see it in print in the sequel and I will acknowledge your contribution in the preface.

What do you say? I think Gautam always has great ideas. Let's write the sequel together. You may have your own experience or know of stuff that has happened to others that you feel is unique. Just write it out here.


I have not read the book although you can see a quick review on Gautam's blog. I have seen several forums dedicated towards writing stories, (where authors can exchange ideas) but this is the first attempt that I've seen where users can submit feedback that will directly end up in a book.

Note: Semi-related, but if there are any aspiring authors out there looking for publishers, this forum post may prove useful. Although if they do not suit your taste, then you may want try Lulu.com.
