Fractal Novels is a collaborative art project, which means everyone is encouraged to submit!

Read the stories, find a spot that inspires you, then tack on anything (anything– paintings, pictures, words, fragments, found art, sound, anything as long as it is your own creation) and take that spot in a new direction.

Include:

* The title of the Fractal Novel you're adding to.
* Your Name (or pen name)
* (optional) a link to a website where readers can find more of your writing.
* Where about in the Fractal Novel your piece fits in (middle, beginning, end, etc. are all okay answers. We use a coordinate system to define them on the site, so a guesstimate there is okay too.)

Please make sure you edit your work. Submissions heavy with errors will not be published.

Send your contributions using the form at the bottom of this page:

We look forward to writing with you!

Brass Tacks:

Each fractal novel began as a seed, a little fragment of a story that was nurtured by a number of loving, caring hands until it grew into a mighty, crazy tree with branches of every color going in every direction. They’re called fractal novels because while they build upon each other, branching off at different points or continuing forward, each writer’s fragment is its own world. When you contribute to a story on the site, you can begin anywhere (even prequels are welcome!) and go in any direction with it. Just keep it clean. :)

All material published on this site is the property of its individual author/creator (you.) When you submit, you give us the right to put your submission up on the page and keep it there for as long as the site exists. That’s it. All other rights are yours!


A Note On The Coordinate System:

We use a coordinate system to keep track of where in the storyline a given fragment of a Fractal Novel falls. generally this is simple: 0.0 is the first story, with any direct continuation of that seed being 1.0 and anything that happened immediately before being -1.0 . The second digit is for sideways (alternate reality [-] and other characters' stories [+]) movement. (0.1 being a slight deviation, 0.567 being way out of left field.) In the event that coordinate assignments get too close together, you'll see a modification (5.0 ~ 5/1.0 or 5/-1.0) added to newer pieces to separate them further.
