Splitstory is an online platform for collaborative writing also known as hypertext fiction, which enables various authors to create texts and literature together. There are two different major approaches by creating a topic and let others proceed in writing and to write interactive stories with various threads. At Splitstory an author starts with an idea and others may collaborate to write the story.

Of course this is a great idea with a broad audience being facilitated by the internet. But writing is less popular like other media Splitstory writes itself and so it is a pleasure to introduce this platform. Splitstory aims to foster creativity and is giving a new platform to authors to create and to publish stuff.

First trials in collaborative writing by the way have already existed in 1960 with the Project Xanadu. Today this approach often is used in another and even commercial context like the crowd sourced writing of film scripts or to discuss parts or the end of films like it happens at How It Should Have Ended.
