protagonize: community-driven interactive fictionProtagonize is an online writers’ community dedicated to the (nearly) lost art of the addventure, a type of collaborative fiction. Once an author writes a story, others can post branches to that story in different directions. Early forms of this on the web date back over a decade, when Snoot.com popularized a site called “Choose Your Own Schizophrenia”, an collaborative fiction site popular in the mid-to-late ’90s. Of course, this all dates back to the old Choose Your Own Adventure™ series that started back in 1979 and ran until 1998, published by Bantam Books.

Protagonize was developed as an attempt to modernize the collaborative reative writing arena a bit and inject a little Web 2.0 love to produce better interface. So far, so good.

Protagonize launched on December 27th, 2007, and has been receiving an excellent response from users and the press since its debut.
