The end is nigh for the Pieces Podcast- the collaborative experiment that Nobilis of Nobilis Erotica came up with. Eight fiction writers Nobilis, Chris Lester, Christian Ellis, Greydancer, Paul S Jenkins, Brandon Crose, John Tanzer and myself all taking turns to write a world.
It was quite a different experience for me. Rather than having an idea where the project was going, you had to gather up the threads from the previous person and weave them youself, while bearing in mind what threads you would in turn leave for the next person. It had proven to be an intriguing and challenging experience and one that I have enjoyed greatly.
I look forward to seeing how Nobilis works with the remains of the story I left him with in the penultimate episode. This is the exciting thing about podcasting, the recent turn it has taken into experimentation and collaboration. I am in awe of other people’s talents, and would recommend this exercise if you have the time.
And I don’t think the story ended up half bad either. We had all agreed it could turn into a dog’s breakfast, but the surprising thing is- without discussing where the story was going, it has ended up in a very logical place.
Go check out what eight fiction authors can do. I am proud to have been involved.
