Technoyokel started it all, with a simple post off the Ask h2g2 page. Can the h2g2 researchers write their very own novel? Or, in her words:

O.K. what about writing a story through the forums - I know someone's tried the 6th HHGTTG book but can't we be original and do our own stories?

And A story was born. Some argued that it went nowhere. Some argued that the multiple twists and characters is what bestowed its Charm. Some said it would fade away, but after a while, when loading the thing threatened to crash the time-space continuum, Chapter two was born, and then Chapter Three.

Some tried to kill it, but it kept coming back to life. The writers decided to give it a place of its own to live, and this page, through a rather drawn-out process, came to exist. Chapter 4, or Book Two, or The Next Storyteller Project will hopefully hang from here, to clear Ask h2g2 for more serious questions, like Who are "they".

Staff

These positions are *ahem* Strictly Voluntary. I'd like to be able to put a link in to everyone who has contributed to the stories so far, but I'm afraid that would lead to a right margin longer than the page. In compromise, anyone who would like a postion can post in the Staff Requests forum below and I'll get 'round to adding you as [my] time permits.
