A novel on stickers
November 4, 2004 11:28 AM Subscribe
Implementation Sex and terror all over the world: The eighth and final installment of a novel, printed out on stickers and placed in public by readers, is now available, along with more than 1000 photos of pieces of the novel in place. It's a distributed narrative in the vein of Shelly Jackson's Skin, a word of which is tattooed on 2000 people. One of the co-authors also co-wrote 2002: A Palindrome Story.
Thanks for the links ubueditor. I'd never heard of this project and am pretty fascinated with different delivery modes for the written word.

I also find this quite compelling, thanks. I remember a number of website authors (who would probably be called bloggers in this day and age) played around with the idea of posting long stories in people's online guestbooks -- a paragraph here, a paragraph there. Presumably they'd link one entry to the next, although perhaps not.

Ooh, I've stuck quite a few stickers of this project on walls and lampposts and round about, and had a lot of fun with it. Cool to see it Metafiltered!
