The first collected edition of the 2010s' most unique collaborative literary creation, as originally developed on Ficly.com, now presented in a clean, annotated edition with an original foreword by Aristide Twain

I didn’t write this book.
Instead, twenty-four other, wonderful people did, between May 27th, 2011 and September the 18th, 2014 — occasionally elsewhere, but mostly on the collaborative flash-fiction website Ficly.
To put together a collaborative experimental novel on a platform with a built-in character limit and no easy way of creating a table of content demonstrated a kind of quintessential human fighting spirit, but I have still taken it upon myself to assemble all these fragments, all of which were released under a CC-BY-SA license, into one coherent whole, correcting typos and straightening out formatting as I went. I have also added a Foreword elaborating on my decisions as editor, and a staggering eighty footnotes, to the ninety-odd prose pieces making up Our Strange and Wonderful House.
You can read the collected Strange and Wonderful House on Issuu, or download it for free as a PDF or an ePub.
Perhaps this project is a little far afield from the usual preoccupations of this blog, although Jenny Everywhere does feature in a few pivotal chapters of Our Strange and Wonderful House.

An adventure where each update ends with one clear and logical course of action can be suggested. Those suggestions will not be used. Instead, the most ridiculous and illogical suggestion will be. For example, you are locked in a room. There is a key on the wall. Any suggestions regarding taking the key and unlocking the door will be ignored, and "> sing a duet with the key" will be used instead.
