Ideas for New Forms of Multimedia Storytelling
geocacheing
chain emails forwarded to you by an aunt you don’t talk to
writing on the walls of public bathrooms
complex system of Minecraft servers with interactive puzzles
hundreds of voice mails each sent to 100 subscribed members of the fandom each, who then have to piece everything together online
choose your own adventure but better
random people get released on stage during a stage play and can affect the plot however they choose
story is embedded in book of word find puzzles
people dressed as wizards kidnap you and you have to be the protagonist
news site that publishes weird stories and there are always weird comments in the comment sections
a group of people creates a story and memorizes it, and then they each have to teach the story to two other people, who must continue passing it on
links to questionable Wikipedia article edits
Instagram account whose photos start getting weirder and weirder until the person who runs the account disappears and the followers have to solve the mystery
recorded on random vhs tapes all over the globe
a podcast that is downloaded to 10,000 MP3 players that self-destruct if they are with the same person more than two weeks, forcing everyone to keep passing them on to new people
a composition book that is transported around the globe via hot air balloon
books left on McDonalds’ floors that say DO NOT READ
a gigantic park full of sidewalks with a story written on the sidewalk that can be read as you walk, and that has different endings depending on where you go
microchips placed inside feral cats
several hundred seemingly identical uploads of the devil went down to Georgia on YouTube, which each have different mistakes in the lyrics, and which can be pieced together to create a story
like jehovah’s witnesses but they walk around asking people if they want to hear a chapter of what is actually a very extended musical with dance numbers. yes, they will do this on your porch, and no, there is no way to get the chapters in order
book where you cut out a chapter every time you read it and write your own
vlog that gets increasingly more concerning
game where the only action is to pick up and read book and also to make coffee and pet your cat
movie put on dvds and scattered around random antique shops
found footage horror film that is just footage that you found
recipes passed down from generation to generation
an ever-expanding franchise that switches to a different type of media every time it creates a sequel. the first installment is a book, the second is a video game, the third is a Netflix series, the fourth is a broadway musical, the fifth is a podcast, the sixth is an alternative rock album, and the seventh is available only through oral tradition
story that is explained to the small children of the people who want to read it, and the children must in turn explain it to them. people without children can borrow someone else’s child.

I’ve decided that this post is not a joke
Vlog that gets increasingly more concerning is basicly your average horror vlog.
