The wovel, that great online episodic novel where you the reader get to decide what happens next, has return while I was asleep.
Kealan Patrick Burked wrapped up his wovel The Living and now horror author and comic book editor Jemiah Jefferson has stepped up with her slipstream/cyberpunk offering called Firstworld.
She’s already posted the second chapter but if you hurry you can still cast your vote to influence the third chapter, today.
Here is a recap for those of you who don’t know what a wovel is: Started by Underland Press on their website, each Monday the author posts a new segment of story. Monday through Thursday you can read it and vote on it. Thursday the voting ends and the author takes the result and writes the next segment of the story which gets posted the following Monday. Then the audience reads and casts another vote.
If you miss a segment or two, Underland Press keeps the previously published segments available here. Click here, read from the beginning and then have fun voting.
You can view comments here. And it’s not just reader comments but Ms. Jefferson left a footnote/comment giving readers a link to where they could find a real life article about some of the future tech she employs in her story.
So you get to read the story, shape the story and now talk to the author about the story.
It’s a new online experience and well worth checking out.
Meanwhile check out the Jemiah Jefferson book list and her erotic vampire Voice of the Blood Series.
