| Chain Stories
Chain stories are a fun writing exercise that anyone can enjoy participating in. They usually end up nonsensical and hilarious, and are a good way to practice your descriptive writing. Join an existing chain story or start a new one.
Write one paragraph, then let the next writer take over and see what madness your combined minds produce.
