64 Slices of American Cheese

Monday, March 06, 2006

If it were on paper,

this story might be pulp. Instead, it will be all energy, or maybe just static. And it will be yours to shape. Here are the rules--

64 Slices is an as-yet unnamed, unwritten fiction novel. It has no characters, no setting and no plot. What it does have is two authors-- one with questionable grammar and a second with questionable personal hygiene. If you put us together, we are a veritable J. D. Salinger.

Our novel will have two story lines, which you, the readers, will craft. Post your suggestions, cast your votes, blather on endlessly in the commentary about the oddities of Etruscan architecture, complain about our typographical errors and, in the end, wind our storylines together and name the novel.

We reserve the right to stretch our artistic muscles if you, our muses, should happen to drink one Sidecar too many and fail us. We also reserve the right to make fun of bad spelling (including our own) and to generally heap abuse upon all who enter here.

Let's start with the hero of plot line #1 and the heroine of plot line #2. Where do they live, and what are they doing in the first ten lines of their introduction?

  • Sublime or ridiculous? Timeline, unknown. Fictional, where all facts are true.

    Seinfeld on valium.

    Two authors, or just one split in two?

    To be continued.

    "The Orchard Keeper"? What is this, Chekhov?
