Hi all!
First off, a bit of an update: I've started to outline my next large story arc, so that should be coming along at some point.
Anywho. I've been working on a side project that I would love to share with you all. Some of you may be familiar with the interactive stories on Writing.com. While the site itself has gone a little by the wayside, the format of an interactive story presents some interesting opportunities for a more free-form story. The other fun aspect is, of course, the ability to have multiple people working on it. So the more the merrier: if you're interested, don't hesitate to add on a chapter or two! Below is the link for the writing.com story:

To quote the blurb from the beginning of the story: Genex Biotechnologies is a hot up-and-coming biotech firm. It's gotten recognition for being on the forefront of progress in the field, earning grudging respect from its competitors for the genius of its technologies and ruthless business strategy of its leadership. But what the rest of the tech world doesn't know is that Genex is developing a top-secret device capable of dramatically changing the size of objects. With this sort of tech in the wrong hands, anything is possible.
I have also begun working on this story on interactive story software called Twine. It is IMHO a freer and more aesthetically pleasing format, but it's a bit of a pain in the ass for a bunch of people to use. So, if you add to the writing.com version, I will transfer it to the Twine so we can have a "pretty version" developing alongside the working draft. Twine also allows for essentially limitless options in terms of branching story lines, so if you encounter a limitation in the Writing.com version you want to pursue, just let me know and we can work things out.
