"So is the novel immune from being swept up into the fashion for collaborative activity? Well, this is what we are going to try and discover with A Million Penguins, a collaborative, wiki-based creative writing exercise. We should go into this with the best spirit of scientific endeavour - the experiment is going live, the lab is under construction, the subjects are out there. And the results? We’ll see in a couple of months."

I learned about this from an article on Yahoo's news page. But Penguin seems to be having some technical difficulties. Seems "the collective" is interested in writing a novel and as a result their server keeps getting swamped. Hopefully they'll get a handle on their capacity issues. I plan on following this project (it's supposed to last six weeks) and may even contribute a line or two.
