A Wiki Community Writes a Mystery Novel

Call it crowdsourcing, collaboration, or absurd -- Penguin Publishing has launched a new project where the Wiki community all contribute to writing a mystery novel.


Called, "A Million Penguins," the project may be accessed here. Stop by to read -- or to write. The site is planned to be active at least until mid-March. The results, so far, are interesting. It brings to mind the cut-up techniques of 50s Beat writers, such as William Burroughs and Paul Bowles. Love it or hate it, you have to admit it's a unique project.
