I've always greatly enjoyed, and learned much from, the comments on this blog. Perhaps the best response yet is that to the post Victoriana and the Telectroscope. Inspired by the title, Ralph Hancock has written the first chapter of a 'Victorian' serial story; Hugh B has added the second. They're great - launching us into a transatlantic tale with an army major, a daring young girl, and some sinister exterminators! Do read them, and if you're inspired to add chapter three...
** Update: you can now read the chapters here, and submit your own contributions by email! **
** And a second update: I've contributed chapter three. Over to you for chapter four! **
** FINAL UPDATE: the novel is now complete! **

Thank you very much for your post about this collaboration. Hugh B and I have agreed to put up a cumulative version of the text in the hope of attracting more writers. It's here. I've put my email address at the bottom so that people can write booking the next chapter, or send their chapter directly.
And thanks too for the update with URL.
And further thanks for the brilliant chapter 3. The plot thickens.
I think you need an illustrator as well!
How true! Is there anyone out there with the gifts of Ronald Searle?
...although Matt Bannister would do nicely - see his artwork in the next entry! :)
Thank you for completing the novel, which I have enjoyed following.
