Ever heard of tandem writing? A friend sent me [this link](http://www.c4vct.com/kym/humor/teamwrit.htm) and it reminds me of the “Finish the Science Fiction Story” thread or the “Finish the Western” thread. Wasn’t there also a hard-boiled detective story thread someone started? I don’t remember how far that one got. I’ll see if I can find it.
