Left or right? Plot Hinge is all about forks in the road.
If. For such a little word it certainly packs a lot of significance. If we never met at that coffee shop all those years ago, we wouldn’t be married. If I hadn’t missed my flight I’d have gotten that job. If it keeps raining our basement is going to flood. It’s remarkable how much this tiny word shapes who we are and where we end up in life.
Plot Hinge is built around that two-letter word and lets chance decide the outcome of online serial novels.
Each week a new chapter will be posted to this website. At the end of each chapter the story will be left at a cliff hanger with the story able to progress in a couple different directions. We then connect the story to an upcoming, real-world event. The outcome of that event will decide which direction the plot will proceed and the following chapter will be written accordingly.
For example, at the end of the current story’s Prologue (click here to go there now), the readers are left with the plot able to go in a couple directions. Whether or not Wiarton Willie sees his shadow on Groundhog Day (Feb 2) will decide which of those directions the story takes.
It’s a fresh approach to storytelling that leaves the fate of the plot to chance. The result is an unpredictable but rewarding experience for both reader and writer.
So how will these stories end? Well, that’s a bit iffy.
