My big question this time last week was "Is it possible? Can I really pull this off?" You, the Collective, were sending in submission after submission and they kept getting more difficult! But somehow, over a long and arduous weekend, I pulled it off. So what does that mean for you?
Well, first off it means you've got a story! (If you haven't read it yet - it's over here.) It's only the first of six, but it's something you can pass around to your friends and say "I had a hand in this!"
Second? It means this week has got to be even harder! Bring your worst, I'm ready. Also, bring more people - because that's really how things get tougher. More people = more inputs = more hair-pulling for Andrew. I'd love to get to 100 backers for Story #2. Think we can do it?
As you're thinking about what you're going to submit...I'll share one little thing with you. This week, because it's Valentine's Day, I'm going to write a love story! So do with that what you will. Remember, the deadline is Noon PST, Friday 2/12. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
This project successfully raised its funding goal on March 12, 2010.
CHALLENGER: You get to submit one adjective per story. // You'll receive: You get to follow along with the project with all of the emails and digital PDFs backers receive. (But that's it. No novel.)
ADVERSARY: You get to submit one noun per story. // You'll receive: All the emails and digital PDFs AND a copy of my very first novel The Collective.
FOE: You get to submit one sentence per story. (Think about the power you'll wield!) // You'll receive: Emails and PDFs, obviously. And I will mail you a SIGNED copy of my book.
ENEMY: You get to submit a character. Give me a name and as much or as little of a description as you want. (You can have some fun with this one: Your friends or family, historical figures, even yourself!) // You'll receive: Emails and PDFs and the signed copy of The Collective.
NEMESIS: You get to submit a setting in which some of the action has to take place. As with the character you can give me as much or as little as you want. // You'll receive: Everything above AND (here's the big one) a signed printed book of the six stories making up Andrew vs. The Collective! I'm not planning on making this one available for sale - so this will be a very rare commodity (that you helped to write!).
EVIL DOPPLEGANGER: Send me an email. No, seriously. You can give me any direction you want. Anything you can come up with. Just send me an email. // You'll receive: Everything above and I will include your name in the acknowledgments of The Collective as you are truly a giving benefactor for my writing career.

I'm a media-creator and journalist. I've been trying to write novels since I was five years old (Hardy Boys: Case of the Pirate Treasure) but I just finished my very first one (The Collective). When I'm not excitedly hammering out first drafts or slogging through re-writes, I do online news for San Francisco-based Current TV.
noun: quietus
@Andrew Clark: So you're describing half the kids on Haight St then...
