One storybook, written by many people.

Next Page is a single story built one part at a time. Here is the whole game.

1. 1

   It starts with an opening

   Someone writes the first part, a few short paragraphs that set the scene. That becomes Part 1.

2. 2

   Anyone writes what happens next

   You add your continuation. Other people add theirs. They compete to become the next part of the book.

3. 3

   The community chooses canon

   Readers vote on the continuations. The book's creator confirms the winner and holds one endorsement to put a thumb on the scale. If a book goes quiet, the top continuation is promoted on its own, so a story never stalls forever.

4. 4

   You cannot write two parts in a row

   Once your part is canon, the next one is for someone else. It keeps the book a real collaboration instead of one person's monologue.

5. 5

   Books end when an ending wins

   Any continuation can be written as an ending. If it becomes canon, the book is finished and moves to the Shelf.

6. 6

   Every part gets an illustration

   Canon parts are illustrated in black and white. The first illustration becomes the book's cover.

7. 7

   Each book has a discussion

   Talk about the story in the comments, kept separate from the writing itself.
