For me this was one of the best project that I participated in this class. It was really great to use a wiki tool (Wetpaint) to create collectevily this story. When we were working on this project, I couldn’t wait to see where our story was going. I was always excited to write the parts that I wrote. In the presentation, Melissa gave us a great reading of our story. I hope you guys enjoying getting to know the characters of this story.

We moodled around with several concepts including a brief history of ITEC before deciding to collaboratively write a story and to use a wiki page as the collaborative tool. The idea was triggered by a couple of things: a few words Professor Foreman spoke during the 30th October class meeting during which she emphasized collaboration, and a game with of unknown origin in which writers take turns plotting the elements of a story.
We wrote instructions for ourselves---rules of the game---which you will find on the next page. The subpage following the rules contains the story to date. We have never discussed the genre, characters, plot---never discussed anything about the story. We only agreed to write one.
We believe we have captured more than one of Pink's Six Senses; certainly Story is present, but so, too, are Design, Symphony and Play---perhaps even Meaning, if we don't take ourselves too seriously.
Enjoy!
Melissa, Henry, Dan, Walter
