WriteJam passes one story around the room. You add a line when it's your turn, then hand it on. Nobody controls the ending. That's the point.
Story so far The lighthouse had been dark for eleven years when the light came back on by itself.
Previous line Nobody in the village admitted to climbing the stairs. Nobody admitted to having a key.
Your line
Free to play · English and Spanish · Nothing to install
Three ways to play, plus a helper. The mode is set when the story is created and everyone in it plays by the same rule.
Everyone reads every line and builds on what came before. …she said nothing and locked the door behind her.
Only the last word of each line shows until the story ends. XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXXXX her.
You write from a machine-made summary. The real lines stay hidden. Summary: a lighthouse relights itself; the village pretends not to notice.
Stuck? Ask for a suggested next line. Use it, rewrite it, or ignore it. Rationed per day, so it stays a helper.
Four steps, in this order, every time.
Create a new story or join an existing public story from the search page.
Write a line when it's your turn. The system enforces turn-taking to ensure everyone gets to contribute.
Watch as other writers add their lines, taking the story in unexpected directions.
When the creator marks the story as finished, everyone can read the complete narrative!
l. is not a typo. This machine has no 1 key and no 0 key. Typists used a lowercase l and a capital O, and so do we.
