How to use this Page

Witches and wiki has stalled. It went down in the ice storm for five whole days and now poor Moctor is left in an attic hearing an approaching creak. What will happen to him? Will he be caught?

Ask me for the password and write away!

write all about Moctor Fall and why he's in such a terrible predicament. Why is he on a rainy roof during a thunder storm? He hears noises--will he be caught?

Join the fun in co-authoring the first children's wiki novel. It's easy to do and a creative time-dump. Write me for a password, and you're in!

Oh, and the second you change a comma, please add your name to the writers page. So far only 2 people have, including me, have done so and I know there have been more writers at work.

The Witches and Wiki project is up and running. The wiki novel has two paragraphs now! Any title ideas? You can write, change, or edit anything. Write me for a password, and join in the fun.

Here's what we have so far:

"It was a dark and rainy night, when it occurred to ten-year old Moctor Fall that perhaps this particular evening did not offer ideal conditions for breaking and entering. The thought hit him just as he was balancing on a well-rusted parapet, short stubby legs splayed apart in a wild attempt to get some better footing. He had not counted on the slippery roof...



He had not counted on the full-force hurricane-wannabe winds. He had counted on his weight being to his advantage in terms of keeping his balance (a couple kids at school could vouch for the fact that trying to push the unmovable Moctor over usually ended with him sitting on your head in retaliation) but the rain was another matter entirely.

He fleetingly considered turning back, but he could not. The others were counting on him. And the deadline was fast approaching. He turned up his collar, to keep the rain from dripping down his neck. He slowed his breath, and concentrated on the window. Was that a shape moving inside? "

I'll be clarifying my role as site administrator after I finish the February The Edge of the Forest, which will be up tomorrow.

Our good friend and kidlitosphere star, A Fuse #8 Production, posted about the Penguin wiki novel yesterday and suggested we should start our own.

I responded with a "hey, I started one of those way back when." Nearly two years ago. But, at that time, the kidlitosphere was SMALL.

So, I've put it back up and even, creatively, wrote the first sentence. I've also adopted Fuse's provisional ground rules. But, as you know, everything is fleeting in wiki world.

The site is called Witches and Wiki (get it?), but the novel can be called anything YOU want.

How can you get started? Send me an e-mail and I'll send you a password. Don't worry. No one will be refused. Unless you turn out to be a malicious troll. Then you'll be removed.

Don't know how to write in wiki? There's a useful little wiki help link right under my cat. (This is not working yet. I'll contact my "webmaster.")

P.S. I put the Google ad bar up long ago. If it becomes obnoxious, let me know. All (huge, I'm sure) proceeds will go to The Cybils.
